Who is Chris Noth's wife Tara Wilson? 'SATC' star claimed 'monogamy is not real'
Chris Noth who is married to Tara Wilson is facing sexual assault allegations from two women - Zoe and Lily - who he raped and forcibly had sex, in Los Angeles and New York, in the year 2004 and 2015 respectively. Noth has denied these allegations. His full statement reads, “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”
There is a glaring similarity in the accounts shared by both women who do not know each other, approached the Hollywood Reporter separately and didn't know there could be another victim. Noth charmed the women, invited them back to their apartment after meeting in a public setting, tried to make out with them, and then raped them facing a mirror. The outlet has reviewed texts exchanged between the 'Sex and the City' actor and Lily where he persuaded her to meet him again for drinks which she continued to dodge. The people who knew about these women being assaulted right after they went through the ordeal were contacted as well. This includes Zoe's former boss, the clinical director of UCLA's Rape Crisis Center where she sought counseling, her best friend from college, and Lily's friend Alex - all of whom affirmed the statements provided by the alleged victims.

Who is Chris Noth's wife Tara Wilson?
Chris Noth's alleged victim Lily told the outlet that she reminded him he was a married man with kids. His alleged response to this was "marriage is a sham. Monogamy is not real" after which he proceeded to forcibly have sex with her. For the uninitiated, Noth married Tara Wilson in 2012 and the couple appeared hand in hand on the premiere night of 'SATC's reboot 'And Just Like That...' They posed for the paparazzi and for one photograph, they shared a passionate kiss while he held her close by her waist.
Wilson was born in Vancouver, Canada, and moved to New York to pursue a career in acting. She graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts after which she made scattered appearances in a couple of television shows and movies. Like her husband, Wilson too is a 'Law & Order' alum having appeared on an episode in 2004. She played the character 'Pam' in the episode titled 'Ill-Bred'. She also appeared in the 2001 movie 'Piñero' and in 'Frame of Mind' that was released in 2009. There are no other mainstream credits to her name but she has continued to be a part of the theater industry in productions like 'B.R.O.K.E.N code B.I.R.D switching'.
Wilson met Noth while working at Manhattan's 'Cutting Room' bar that he co-owns. She crossed paths with him sometime in 2001 or 2002 and the rest is history. The couple welcomed their first child in 2008, a son they named Orion Christopher. “I am happy to confirm that Chris Noth and Tara Wilson are the proud parents of a happy and healthy baby boy. Chris and Tara are thrilled, and all are doing well," the couple's representative told PEOPLE. A year later, Noth proposed to Wilson. Around the same time, they starred together in 'Frame of Mind' and opened a tearoom called Once Upon a Teacup. In 2012, they got married "in a remote spot" in Hawaii in a "really tight" ceremony. Fast forward to last year, they expanded their brood in February by welcoming their second son they named Keats.
