“Law & Order” alum Chris Noth is the proud and protective father of two biracial sons. However, he and his partner, Tara Lynn Wilson, did not get married until after ten years of dating.
Despite their 27-year age difference, Chris Noth and Tara Wilson started quite early and went to great lengths to keep their relationship private.
While the couple stayed away from the spotlight, they worked together on several occasions, from starring in movies to business partners.
HOW NOTH MET HIS WIFE
The couple met in 2002 while Tara Wilson was working as a bartender at “The Cutting Room,” a music club, which Noth co-owns with Steve Walter.
Besides being a bartender, Wilson is also an actress who went to New York City to pursue acting, and she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
After their first meeting, Noth and Wilson realized they were compatible, beginning their fairytale love. The actress, who starred in an episode of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” in 2004, is also a businesswoman.
Noth and Wilson co-own the tea house “Once Upon a Tea Cup” in Windsor, Ontario. The couple, who now have two children, got married after ten years of dating.
Even though Wilson has continued to act on stage in productions, very little is known about her because she and Noth are very protective of their private life.
Noth revealed that he sees no value in exposing his family. Over the years, he has had to develop a talent for avoiding paparazzi. He would rather not live his life for the cameras like other celebrities.
Noth and Wilson got engaged in 2009 after they had their first son. In 2009, they starred side-by-side in the indie film “Frame of Mind.” It wasn’t until April 6, 2012, that they got married.
NOTH’S PRIVATE WEDDING AND INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS
Noth and Wilson both wanted a private ceremony, and they were even shocked that their wedding pictures even went out. They were married in an intimate Hawaiian setting in Maui.
The wedding took place in front of just ten people at the luxurious oceanfront estate on Makena Beach while their son Orion served as the ringbearer.Noth feels like having to put his life out there on magazines is gross. He tries to put a wall around his family and relationship. Also, being married to an African American-Filipino, his interracial relationship sometimes takes center stage.
He had sometimes gotten hate mails and letters telling him not to show up in some locations with his wife. He believes there are sick people worldwide, and he tries to ignore them and prays they get better.
