Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, have reached a significant milestone as they recently celebrated their 15th birthday. The couple, who have been married since 1997, are known for their successful careers in the entertainment industry, but their roles as parents are equally important to them.
Sarah Jessica Parker, born on March 25, 1965, in Nelsonville, Ohio, has had a prolific career spanning over five decades. She made her Broadway debut at the age of 11 in the 1976 revival of “The Innocents” and later starred in the title role of the Broadway musical “Annie” in 1979. Parker’s early film appearances include notable roles in “Footloose” (1984) and “Firstborn” (1984). Her career continued to flourish in the 1990s with films like “L.A. Story” (1991), “Honeymoon in Vegas” (1992), “Hocus Pocus” (1993), “Ed Wood” (1994), and “The First Wives Club” (1996).
However, it was her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO comedy-drama series “Sex and the City” (1998–2004) that catapulted her to global stardom. The role earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. Parker reprised the role in the films “Sex and the City” (2008) and “Sex and the City 2” (2010), as well as the revival series “And Just Like That…” (2021–present).
Matthew Broderick, born on March 21, 1962, in New York City, is also a celebrated actor with a career that includes iconic roles in films such as “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986), “WarGames” (1983), and “The Producers” (2005). Broderick and Parker’s paths crossed in the early 1990s, and they were introduced by one of Parker’s brothers at the Naked Angels theater company, where both were performing.
The couple married on May 19, 1997, in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, in an Episcopal ceremony officiated by Broderick’s sister, Rev. Janet Broderick Kraft. Their first child, James Wilkie Broderick, was born on October 28, 2002. Seven years later, on June 22, 2009, the couple welcomed their twin daughters, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, via surrogacy.
Parker and Broderick have always been private about their family life, but they have occasionally shared glimpses of their children with the public. The twins, Marion and Tabitha, have grown up away from the constant spotlight, allowing them to enjoy a relatively normal childhood despite their parents’ fame.
In recent years, Parker has continued to balance her career and family life. She starred in the HBO dramedy series “Divorce” (2016–2019), for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. Parker also returned to Broadway in 2020, starring alongside her husband in a revival of Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite.” The production was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but eventually resumed in 2021.
Parker’s fashion ventures have also garnered significant attention. She launched her own footwear line, the SJP Collection, in 2014, and has been involved in various brand partnerships and endorsements. Her character Carrie Bradshaw’s fashion sense in “Sex and the City” has solidified Parker’s status as a fashion icon.
As Marion and Tabitha turn 15, it’s clear that Parker and Broderick have successfully managed to provide a stable and loving environment for their children. The couple’s commitment to their family is evident, and they continue to navigate the challenges of parenthood with grace and dedication.
In addition to their family life, Parker and Broderick remain active in their respective careers. Parker’s recent projects include the revival series “And Just Like That…” and her continued work with her production company, Pretty Matches, which has created content for HBO and other networks. Broderick, meanwhile, continues to take on roles in film, television, and theater.
The couple’s enduring love and partnership have been a source of inspiration for many. As they celebrate their twin daughters’ 15th birthday, it’s a reminder of the importance of family and the joy that comes with watching children grow and thrive.
