Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Mathew Broderick, have been happily married for 26 years now. The two celebrated their 26th year in marriage on May 19, 2022.

Parker and Broderick raise their three children and dote on one another. The long-lasting couple sometimes lets fans into their union via the romantic pictures their share on social media.

On June 12, 2023, Parker shared a rare picture with her husband on Instagram. In the photo, the loving wife was helping Broderick with tying his tie.

Parker still cares for his husband even after close to three decades of marriage. Fans were happy to see from Parker’s post that the two are still together and make such a happy couple. One fan commented:

“I love that you two have such a loving marriage this many years later. Such a special thing in the world.”

Fans were excited by how Parker was looking after her husband. An excited fan noted, “This is what love looks like ❤️” while another person told the actress, “This might be my favorite post you’ve ever made! Just typical life….”

More people told Parker that her rare photo was the best thing they had seen and was a strong depiction of true love.

Fans told Parker and Broderick that their love for each other showed they were amazing humans and beautiful souls whom they would like to meet in person.

Parker admitted that sometimes she just sits on the stairs at home and listens to the conversations her kids are having in the kitchen.

The actress and Broderick met in 1992 when the “Godzilla” star was directing Parker’s brother Toby’s one-act play.

Broderick called Parker for a date, and they went out. Their relationship started after this date, and they lived together for five years before getting married in 1997.

The actress and her husband talked about having kids ever since their marriage. They welcomed their first child nearly five years after they tied the knot.

Broderick was 40 and Parker 37 when their first child James Wilke Broderick was born on October 28, 2002, weighing 6 lbs. and 8 oz.

The couple’s son was named in memory of Broderick’s late father, James Broderick, an actor who starred in the 1970s TV series “Family.”

Parker and her 61-year-old husband wanted to have more kids after they welcomed their first child, but they encountered secondary infertility, and the actress had difficulties conceiving her second child.

The actress, who grew up as one of eight siblings, had a deep desire to give her first child a sibling. Furthermore, she noted she and her husband were “older parents.” “I didn’t want him to have to shoulder the burden of us later in life, by himself,” she added.

The “Sex and the City” star revealed that she and her husband did all they could to give James a sibling or more, but the journey wasn’t a walk in the park. She noted that they:

“tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to get pregnant, but it just was not to be, the conventional way—I would give birth as often as I could, if I could. I cherished all the milestones, the good and the bad.”

Parker never revealed the fertility issues she and her husband faced. However, they went through IVF, which was also unsuccessful, just like the conventional method. The couple then explored a variety of ways to expand their family, including surrogacy.

The 58-year-old and her husband eventually chose to use a surrogate to carry another child for them. Their surrogate Michelle Ross carried the couple’s second pregnancy. For so long, the pair struggled to keep the secret from the public that Ross was carrying their child.

Parker and Broderick were excited when they found out their surrogate was pregnant with twins. The couple welcomed twin girls in June 2009.

The actress noted that meeting her kids instead of giving birth to them was a bit different. She described the feeling as the world going silent, and all she could see was the blankets the twins were wrapped in, their faces, and her husband’s and son’s faces:

“It’s literally as if sound is sucked from the room. Time stands still. It’s so different, and equally extraordinary. I am very poor at describing it. But it’s amazing.”

After the twin girls were born, the actress and her husband released a statement that said they were delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their twin daughters.

They revealed that the babies were doing beautifully well and that the entire family was over the moon at their arrival. The twin girls, born at 3:58 p.m., Marion Loretta Elwell, weighed 5 lbs., 11 oz, while Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 lbs.

The twin girls are now in their teens. In 2022, they appeared with their mother and father at the premiere of “Hocus Pocus 2.” The girls looked stunning and have become fashionistas.

The twin girls wore their mother’s SJP collection peep-toe heels. Marion was in a shimmering strapless cocktail dress, while Tabitha was wearing a black peasant-style mini-dress.

The “Failure to Launch” star revealed that the twin girls had adopted their own styles, interests, and personalities that she sometimes forgets they are twins:

“They’re really devoted to each other, but they’ll also say, I need time away from her. Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in. They go to different schools. That’s Tabitha’s idea.”

Parker admitted that sometimes she just sits on the stairs at home and listens to the conversations her kids are having in the kitchen. She added that she is always so charmed by their discussions and happy at the young man her son is turning into.

Parker and Broderick are delighted to raise their three children after a long struggle with infertility. The actress said she and her husband have conversations when it comes to making decisions on how to raise their kids.
