Hollywood Couple
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are one of Hollywood’s most beloved long-term couples. Having been together for over 25 years, their relationship has stood the test of time. As we enter 2024, let’s take a closer look at one of Tinseltown’s favorite pairs.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s Enduring Love
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick met in 1991 through her brothers. They hit it off immediately and despite some early relationship struggles due to filming schedules, they made it work. In 1997, Matthew proposed and the two were married later that same year in a gorgeous ceremony.
Over their decades together, Sarah and Matthew have continuously expressed their dedication, respect, and affection for each other. They are often spotted walking hand-in-hand through their beloved New York City. After all these years, close sources say that the spark is still very much alive between these two.
Expanding Their Family
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have three children together – a son named James Wilkie born in 2002, and twin daughters Marion and Tabitha born via surrogate in 2009. The family of five lives together happily in New York.
Both Sarah and Matthew are very hands-on parents and protective of their children’s privacy. While we don’t often see their kids, the couple has shared that they love traveling as a family. Sarah also often speaks about the chaos of motherhood and how parenting has been one of her life’s greatest joys.
Life Before Their Epic Love Story
While this celebrity couple seems destined to be together, both Sarah and Matthew had notable relationships before finding each other in the 90s.
Sarah Jessica dated prominent actor Robert Downey Jr. from 1984 to 1991. The two co-starred together in the film Firstborn. She also previously dated singer Lance Loud.
Matthew was in a high-profile, seven-year relationship with actress Helen Hunt from 1983 to 1990 after meeting her on the set of a Broadway play. Many media outlets falsely claim that Matthew was married before Sarah, but that is not the case.
Continuing Their Successful Careers
While their home life keeps them very busy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick remain highly sought-after stars.
Sarah currently stars in the HBO series Divorce while developing new shows behind the scenes after her mega-hit Sex and the City ended in 2004. She also has her own shoe and clothing lines under the SJP label.
Matthew is an acclaimed stage actor most recently starring in Plaza Suite on Broadway, which his wife Sarah came to support on opening night. He also acts in indie films and television.
This multi-talented couple certainly seems to have the secret to both a thriving family and continuing professional success. As we celebrate their over 25 years together, here’s hoping for 25 more happy years ahead!
