The star ended her 15-year relationship with Danny in 2003.
She met Christine at an education rally in 2002 and they became a couple two years later.
The actress and education activist got engaged in 2009 at a rally to support gay marriage in New York, which was not legal at that time.
The pair decided to wait to marry until it was legal to do so in New York state, which occurred last summer.
Speaking in 2010, Cynthia said: 'I'm enjoying being engaged very much.
'I don't mind a long engagement, which this one is surely turning out to be.'
When asked about her sexuality, Nixon once explained: ‘In terms of sexual orientation, I don’t feel I’ve changed.
‘I’d been with men all my life and I’d never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn’t seem strange. I’m just a woman in love with another woman.’
Close shave: Cynthia cut off her hair to play a cancer patient in the Broadway show Wit
In 2008, the actress revealed she had beaten breast cancer which was diagnosed during a routine mammogram two years earlier.
She went on to play a cancer patient on stage too, shaving her head for her role in Wit.
She will compete for a Tony Award next month after earning a nomination for best actress for the part.
