Sarah Jessica Parker, renowned for her iconic role in “Sex and the City,” spoke openly about her relationship with fame during a 2003 interview with Vogue’s Mark Holgate. The actress and producer shared about her “beautiful, whimsical, deep life” with husband Matthew Broderick. She shone a light on their struggle to pursue a typical existence amidst the relentless and pervasive presence of the paparazzi.
Parker and Broderick have three children – a son James, and twin daughters Marion and Tabitha. They purposefully make an effort to avoid the negative trappings that often accompany celebrity. The tuxedoed, black-bearded couple prefers to travel sans limousines and bodyguards. They want to explore the streets of New York City just like any other family. This critical decision signals their intent to pursue a more down to earth lifestyle despite the intense media attention.
The recently-married couple, both 25, had just enjoyed the opening of “Smash,” a new musical about the trials and tribulations of mounting a not-so-great production. This particular occasion, Parker sported a jaw-droppingly gorgeous lace-embroidered shift that had everyone buzzing. Her daughters wowed attendees with their distinctive styles, including stand-out teal platforms and fashionable mesh kitten heels. Marion and Tabitha provided plenty of eye candy with their phenomenal threads. They even tapped into their mother’s archives for some of their most stunning looks!
Living in New York, Marion and Tabitha walk to school daily, allowing them to experience the vibrant city life firsthand. They often walk by various kiosks, honing their sensitivity to the environment around them. They remain laser-focused on their mother’s portrayal in the public domain. In one especially poignant moment, Parker revealed her September 2022 cover to her daughters. Tabitha’s unfiltered commentary was to point out, “Mama, there’s no text on that magazine.” This was a telling moment—her awareness of celebrity culture, even at a very early age.
Parker’s initiatives to protect her kids from the extremes of stardom shimmer under the surface of their exchanges. She hates having entourages, “You’re not going to catch me with the entourage of people. This philosophy is an extension of her desire to keep life as normal as possible for her family.
