Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick bonded over a shared love of musical theater in the ‘90s and are keeping the music alive.
In November 1991, shortly after Parker split from Robert Downey Jr., the couple met through the world of Broadway — and two of her brothers.
“He’s so bright, so handsome, I think he’s the most handsome man I’ve seen in my life,” the Sex and the City alum told the Los Angeles Times in 1996. “And he inspires me. I’m mad for him, totally.”
After tying the knot in 1997, Parker and Broderick welcomed their first child, son James in 2002. Seven years later, their twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, arrived via surrogate.
Throughout their decades-long romance, the two stars have kept their relationship as private as possible.
“Matthew and I come from a different time and place,” Parker told Harper’s Bazaar in 2013. “When we were young people, all we ever wanted was to be good working actors. [My dream] was to work in theater, to be around those people whose work I was in total awe of. Nobody talked about being a celebrity. So, when our marriage came up in conversation, it wouldn’t occur to us that we were obligated to respond to gossip.”
