WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT SAMUEL JOSEPH MOZES

Samuel, affectionately referred to as "Seph," was born in November 1996 to Cynthia and Danny Mozes, who was Cynthia's college sweetheart.

Danny dated the "Sex and the City" actress in 1988. Apart from Samuel, they share another son, Charles Ezekiel. Unfortunately, the couple split a year after Charles was born.

After the breakup, Cynthia began dating Christine Marinoni, an activist who worked for Deputy Mayor Richard Buery in New York City. They got married in May 2012.

Christine was Cynthia's first girlfriend. She had never been in a romantic relationship with a woman before, but Christine's charisma quickly won the actress's heart.

Cynthia's family expanded in 2011 when Christine gave birth to their son, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni, making him Charles and Samuel's youngest brother.

Cynthia's children have been targeted by the paparazzi, which happens a lot to celebrity kids. There was a time when Samuel was young, and he was out with his mom when the paparazzi spotted and took photos of them.

During Cynthia's campaign against Andrew Cuomo for governor of New York, Samuel stayed out of the spotlight. He has not been seen in public lately, suggesting that he is enjoying life away from the limelight.

Even when Cynthia attended Pride events, Samuel was not by his mother's side. His mother never acknowledged him throughout her campaign, and he was not tagged in any of her photos on social media.

Samuel has kept to himself, doing well in school and developing his interests. He has followed in his mother's performing footsteps by working in theater.

Charles was born in December 2002. In 2019, on Charles's 17th birthday, Cynthia presented him with a record player-shaped cake that Christine had baked, a subtle hint that the handsome teen was interested in music.

While Charles has musical interests, his younger brother Max may be interested in acting. After watching "On The Heights" on Broadway, Cynthia uploaded a video of herself and her little boy dancing in the streets of New York.

Max's mother was proud of him for taking an interest in the performing arts, but she also thought he might do well in the medical field. According to Cynthia, Max was brave when he received his vaccine shots in November 2021, calling him a "trooper."

Cynthia took her time revealing who Max's biological father was. She and Christine eventually shared that their donor was Michael Growler, who worked with Cynthia on the "Sex and the City" films.
