Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon reveals peek inside her Hamptons kitchen – and fans can’t get over how normal it is

By Kelsi Karruli

Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon left her fans stunned after sharing a glimpse inside her surprisingly humble kitchen in the Hamptons – revealing a stark contrast to the glossy interiors found in many celebrities’ picture-perfect mega-mansions.

Nixon, 59, who is worth an estimated US$20 million (AU$31 million), took to Instagram to share a video of herself preparing her morning coffee inside the small space.

Sporting an orange apron from popular New York grocer Zabars over a purple T-shirt, Nixon began showing her 1.6 million followers around the cozy space in her East Hamptons retreat.

“This is my kitchen in Montauk. I’m about to serve up some coffee,” she says while standing in front of her sink.

After grabbing a mug, Nixon shows off various items in the space, beginning with her “pots and pans and colanders,” which are hung from metal hooks on one of the walls.

Moving toward the kitchen window, Nixon holds up a blue basket that is hanging there.

“This is my basket that I use to get stuff from the garden,” she explains. She takes a moment to gush about the vegetables she grows in her yard, pointing to a salad spinner filled with kale, which is “very delicious and very fresh”.

“This is all my vases because there’s a lot of flowers in the garden,” she adds as she makes her way through the small space.

The And Just Like That star then gestures to the top of her wooden cabinets where she stores cookware and containers, including a lobster pot and a basket, which she uses to store her “bread or biscuits or toast”.

Moving along to one of the other countertops, Nixon reveals that she has a bunch of kale that is “going to seed” stored in one of her many vases, before showing off a jar of garlic oil, a blue Hydro Flask filled with lemon mint water, and her “things to cut stuff in the garden,” brandishing a pair of shears at the camera.

Next to the stove, Nixon keeps a glass jug of steeping tea, which she jokes is “very important, very precious”, while wrapping a hand around it.

After her impromptu tour, the actress and politician returns to the task at hand: pouring her coffee.

She grabs a pot of frothy steamed milk from the stovetop and pours it straight into her mug, before topping it off with coffee from her “Italian coffee maker.”

Determined to ensure her brew is perfect, Nixon adds “a little more foam” and “a little cinnamon” before exclaiming: “Yum!”

The actress captioned the video, “I think I need a few more vases (and an in-home hair stylist)”.

Fans flooded the comments section and praised the star for showcasing her “real” kitchen, while others applauded her for having a kitchen that looked like an “actual living human being” lived there.

“Finally, a celebrity kitchen that looks like someone uses it!” one commenter wrote, as another simply said: “That’s a real kitchen.”

“A Montauk kitchen that looks like a relatable person lives there!” one person added.

Even Nixon’s And Just Like That co-star Sarah Jessica Parker chimed in with praise, writing: “I love your kitchen! And you! X”.

In addition to her Hamptons spread, Nixon also holds the keys to a 4,984-square-foot townhouse in Manhattan, which she purchased in 2021 for $4.4 million.

The five-bedroom property comes with four cozy fireplaces. It features exposed brick and a glass sliding door that opens to the back garden.
