Charles Ezekiel Mozes Had His Own Way of Processing Having 2 Moms – Facts about Cynthia Nixon's Son

Charles Ezekiel Mozes is one of three children born to longtime actress Cynthia Nixon. He was only a toddler when his mom began a romantic relationship with another woman. His mental process of understanding his mom's partner as one of his guardians took some time, but he came around.

Charles Ezekiel Mozes's mother, Cynthia Nixon, separated from his dad, photographer, and educator Danny Mozes in 2003 and found love with Christine Marinoni the following year.

He is the younger brother of Samuel Joseph, now known as Seph. However, before his mother's romance began, the actress considered whether Christine Marinoni could care for her kids.

The actress, who was more concerned about how a potential partner would treat her kids rather than focus on her sexual orientation, revealed her partner proved exceptional. Cynthia Nixon felt her partner made their family so much better.

Cynthia's eldest, Samuel, was the first to call Christine "Ma." Charles, her youngest child then, followed suit, but his young mind took some time to wrap around having two moms.

Charles Ezekiel Mozes's Teachers Were the First to Help Him Understand His Family's Dynamic

Charles's understanding of his family dynamic went through a series of stages, as his mom observed, "It was like Charlie was trying to navigate what everybody's assumptions about him and his family were at age 3. It was amazing."

Charles's teachers were the first to refer to Cynthia and Christine as "Charlie's moms." When that happened, he returned home from school one day and said to Christine, "You're my mommy too!"

Cynthia then started referring to Christine as "Mama Christine" when talking to her kids, but Charles came up with another name. "One morning we're at breakfast, and Christine is in the shower, and Charlie says, 'Where's Papa?' My daughter says, 'Papa? You mean Daddy?' and he said, 'No, Papa! Christine!'" Cynthia recalled in 2010.

In another encounter, when Charles's barber told him to ask his dad to give him a little brother, the youngster sat quietly and thought about his response before finally saying, "Sometimes I call Christine Mommy."

Charles Ezekiel Mozes's Blended Family

Charles, whose middle name is of Hebrew origin and means "God strengthens," was born on December 17, 2002. His parents protected his privacy, though paparazzi sometimes caught sight of him as a child.

After the couple separated, his dad found love with a woman with two kids from a previous relationship. His dad also remained friends with his mother — famous for her role in "Sex and the City," alongside Kim Cattrall, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kristin Davis — leaving Charles with three moms and a dad.

Charles Ezekiel Mozes Has Two Siblings

Charles's older sibling, Seph, is a University of Chicago graduate pursuing a theater career. He was born Samantha Mozes but later came out as transgender in 2018. Charles's youngest sibling is Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni.

Max was carried to term by Christine after both his moms conceived him with a gay male couple. All three siblings were enrolled in New York public schools as their mother did not believe in sending her kids to a school where everyone was rich and famous.

Their mom, Cynthia, also strongly advocates for quality education in public schools, and in 2018, she had been a spokesperson for Alliance for Quality Education for 17 years.
