Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's three children looked all grown up in a rare photo together.
The couple's 22-year-old son, James, took to Instagram this week to celebrate his graduation from Brown University by sharing multiple snaps of the big moment, including one with his 15-year-old twin sisters,Tabitha and Marion.
In the sweet photo, the 'Sex and the City' actress' eldest child wore his black graduation gown and a brown stole layered over a blue suit and tie.
He also wore white sneakers and put his brown waves on full display while carrying his graduation cap in one hand.
Tabitha and Marion matched in green shirts and jeans as they walked alongside their big brother following the ceremony.
HBO producer Liviya Kraemer, who worked on 'Divorce' with SJP, also released a photo of the new college graduate to honor his academic achievement.
'Extra special congratulations to @jwbr0derick!!!!!!!!! Now let's do this every five years,' Kraemer captioned the photo shared to her Instagram Story.
James has followed in his parents' footsteps by pursuing a career in acting and even guest-starred in his dad's show 'Elsbeth' earlier this year.
The 'Failure to Launch' star, 60, and Broderick, 63, were not seen in any of the images from the graduation.
The couple typically keeps their children out of the spotlight and off social media, though they have made some rare red carpet appearances at Hollywood events over the years.
Last April, Parker and the 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' actor attended the Broadway premiere of 'Smash' with their daughters.
Four months later, the couple and their entire brood attended the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In July 2024, Broderick and his kids walked the red carpet sans Parker for the Broadway opening of 'Oh, Mary!'
That summer, Broderick and Parker celebrated their twins' 15th birthday with a balloon-filled party.
Broderick and Parker have been married since 1997.

King Charles and Queen Camilla's Journey to Happily Ever After

King Charles and Queen Camilla's Journey to Happily Ever After originally appeared on Parade. Camilla is the Queen of ' heart. While the royal couple found their happily ever after, the road to get there wasn't a quick one. After both going through a divorce and having two children each, Charles and Camilla tied the knot more than three decades after they first met. At their wedding reception, the King reportedly gave a speech, thanking his "darling Camilla who has stood with me through thick and thin - and whose precious optimism and humour have seen me through." Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot has called the King and Queen "yin and yang," noting that "they really are polar opposites," but thinks they work "brilliantly." Discussing her sister and brother-in-law in the BBC documentary, Charles III: The Coronation Year, Annabel said, "She is his rock and I can't actually emphasize that enough. She's somebody who is completely loyal." After Charles ascended the throne in 2022, he stated in his first address as monarch that he could "count on the loving help" of his "darling wife, Camilla." His Majesty said, "In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort. I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.' When the royal couple celebrated 20 years of marriage in 2025, the Queen remarked, "Who could believe it was 20 years?' As for the secret, she told reporters (via the BBC), 'I don't know, well, I suppose it's just the sort of friendship really, laughing at the same things, getting on with life.' Charles told CNN in 2015 that he and Camilla "laugh a lot," revealing that his wife "sees the funny side of life, thank God." His Majesty said, 'It's always marvelous to have somebody who, you know, you feel understands and wants to encourage. Although she certainly pokes fun if I get too serious about things. And all that helps." Continue reading to learn more about King Charles and Queen Camilla's relationship. When did King Charles and Queen Camilla meet? Per the BBC, Charles and Camilla met at a polo match in 1970. However, Penny Junor wrote in her book The Duchess: The Untold Story that the pair were introduced by their mutual friend Lucia Santa Cruz in the summer of 1971. In the special Charles: In His Own Words, biographer Christopher Wilson shared that "it's said that Camilla's opening gambit was my great-grandmother and your great-great-grandfather were lovers, so how about it?" According to The Prince of Wales: A Biography author Jonathan Dimbleby (via the BBC), Camilla "was affectionate, she was unassuming, and - with all the intensity of first love - he lost his heart to her almost at once." Why didn't King Charles marry Queen Camilla instead of Princess Diana? Junor wrote in The Duchess: The Untold Story that Camilla was "not sufficiently aristocratic to be the Prince's wife, and she was not a virgin, which was a prerequisite." Historian and biographer Robert Lacey noted in the Charles: In His Own Words special that Camilla's problem was "sort of catch-22." He explained, "When she met Prince Charles, she fell in love, they went to bed together, but that sort of automatically ruled her out as a future Queen. We told Prince Charles, 'Sorry mate, you can't marry Camilla cause she's been to bed with you. It sounds ridiculous, it sounds primitive and it was.'" In September of 1971 Charles began his naval career with a six-week course at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, followed by service on the HMS Norfolk and two frigates. Camilla went on to marry her first husband Andrew Parker Bowles in July of 1973. Camilla is said to have written a letter to Charles informing him that she had accepted Andrew's proposal. Junor wrote in The Duchess: The Untold Story, "It broke his heart. He fired off anguished letters to his nearest and dearest. He has always been a prolific letter-writer. It seemed to him particularly cruel, he wrote in one letter, that after 'such a blissful, peaceful and mutually happy relationship' fate had decreed that it should last a mere six months. He now had 'no one' to go back to in England. 'I suppose the feeling of emptiness will pass eventually.' He did have one last-ditch attempt to get Camilla to change her mind, however. He wrote to her the week before the wedding asking her not to marry Andrew. Nevertheless, the wedding went ahead." Related: Did Queen Camilla attended Charles and Princess Diana's wedding? Camilla was among the guests at Charles and his first wife Diana's wedding on July 29, 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Speaking about Camilla, Diana once famously said, "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." When did King Charles and Princess Diana split? Charles and Diana, whose separation was announced in 1992, finalized their divorce in 1996. Does Queen Camilla have kids from her first marriage? Camilla has two children, son Tom Parker-Bowles and daughter Laura Lopes, from her first marriage to Andrew. The former couple's marriage was dissolved in 1995. King Charles is actually a godparent to his wife's older child, Tom. When did King Charles and Queen Camilla get engaged? It was announced in February of 2005 that Charles was engaged to Camilla. The then-Prince of Wales said, 'Mrs Parker Bowles and I are absolutely delighted. It will be a very special day for us and our families.' What ring did King Charles propose to Camilla with? His Majesty popped the question with an emerald-cut ring that belonged to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. What did Prince William and Prince Harry say about their dad King Charles' engagement to Queen Camilla? Charles' two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were both happy for their father. The brothers reacted to their father's engagement with a joint statement that read: "We are both very happy for our father and Camilla, and we wish them all the luck in the future." According to the BBC, the Duke of Sussex once said that Camilla's "always been very close to me and William... but no, she's not the wicked stepmother." Instead, he described his stepmother as "a wonderful woman," adding that "she's made our father very, very happy, which is the most important thing." Harry said, "William and I love her to bits." Related: When did King Charles and Queen Camilla get married? The King and Queen were married on April 9, 2005 in a civil ceremony held at the Guildhall in Windsor. A service of prayer and dedication at St George's Chapel was held after, followed by a reception at Windsor Castle hosted by the groom's mother. Queen Elizabeth toasted the newlyweds at the reception, saying (via The Telegraph): 'They have overcome Becher's Brook and The Chair and all kinds of other terrible obstacles, They have come through and I'm very proud and wish them well. My son is home and dry with the woman he loves.' Was Camilla always going to be Queen Consort? When it was announced that Camilla was engaged to the heir to the throne, a press release noted that it was "intended that Mrs Parker Bowles should use the title HRH The Princess Consort when The Prince of Wales accedes to The Throne." However, months before Queen Elizabeth's passing in 2022, Charles' mother stated that it was her "sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service." When were King Charles and Queen Camilla crowned? The coronation of Their Majesties took place on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey. After Charles became King in 2022, the monarch thanked his "darling" wife, who he said "has stood with me through thick and thin - and whose precious optimism and humour have seen me through.'

‘Knowledge sets you free': Brazilian rap battle becomes mainstay at Cambridge park

Pio said Lopes kept dreaming about him since his win last week. Lopes then said the dream was actually a nightmare. Advertisement 'Você não é meu pesadelo. Meu pesadelo eu olho no espelho. Todo dia acordando, lutando com a depressão,' Pio said loudly, getting close to Lopes's face. His words translate to, 'You're not my nightmare. My nightmare I see in the mirror. Every day waking up, fighting with depression.' The minute Pio 'I also fight [depression] when I'm alone in my room. Depression, you're not the only one who has it,' Lopes said, his voice rising in Portuguese as Pio shakes his head in opposition. 'That's the terror. Stop thinking you're special, you're not a snowflake.' Advertisement The Brazilian rap battles, held every Sunday in the Cambridge park, are a relatively new and growing event in the Boston area. Known as 'Batalha de Boston,' or 'Boston's battle,' the performance Sunday included Lopes and Pio among more than a dozen rappers. The theme was 'knowledge sets you free.' For Lopes, 23, the battles create a space for the Brazilian community to come together and connect after a long work week, which he believes is particularly important at this time when many are avoiding leaving their homes amid growing fear of the Trump administration's 'Here you're surrounded by people that embrace you, and that are laughing, battling, expressing,' Lopes said in Portuguese. 'You forget you're a mere immigrant.' Lopes, of Waltham, said rapping allows him to distract himself from whatever struggles he's going through, while also using the art form as a way to cope. Pio, a 24-year-old Everett resident, said he has found purpose and community in attending the Sunday battles. 'Life in the United States can be a little solitary. All you do is work and go home,' he said. 'Sometimes you don't have a lot of contact with Lopes and Malden resident Norton Rafael, who work together installing fences, are credited with starting the event in December. Only nine people showed up for the first rap competition. Ever since, with the 22-year-old Rafael's efforts on social media, the event has grown, with up to 80 people attending. Rafael, who records the battles and posts them on social media, now has more than 3,900 followers on the event's Instagram account. Some participants travel to the event from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Lopes said. Advertisement A celebrity appearance helped boost the event's popularity. A few weeks ago, the group welcomed a famous Brazilian rapper, known as MC Kant, who came to Boston from Brazil to participate in the battle. The rapper has more than 1.8 million followers on Instagram. Just like American hip-hop, Brazilian rap battles were historically looked down upon by mainstream society. Rafael said his mother didn't let him participate in battles growing up, fearing that people associated rap with criminality. Lopes said he wants the group to go beyond battling each other with superficial topics. He's interested in discussing important societal issues, from the commercialization of When he introduced the battle Sunday, Lopes told participants the day's theme 'might not be the one you wanted, but it is likely the one you need.' For Pio, the knowledge theme reminds the audience of the essence of hip-hop, which to him is all about educating the community and addressing important topics. On Sunday, other rappers, like Pio and Lopes, talked about depression as well as financial hardships and missing family. While some rappers, including Lopes and Pio, started from a young age, others like Rafael were learning to rhyme for the first time. Rafael hasn't won any of the battles, but he's practicing on his own, using online software to work on the speed and diction of his words. Advertisement The battles are free to participants and audience members. Lopes said he views the event as a cultural movement. 'I don't believe you should charge people for them to have access to culture,' he said. Arthur Reis (left) and Gabriel Young engage in a rap battle officiated by Tyler Lopes. Josh Reynolds for The Boston Globe For the upcoming winter, Lopes is plans to host the battles in an enclosed space, potentially in The weekly winner gets an art print designed specifically for that day's battle. The art is worth more than any monetary value, Lopes said. It gives the winner bragging rights. This week, Lopes took home the art print that depicted a young man sitting on top of a rock, resembling 'The Thinker' statue, while holding a book and wearing headphones. Next to him, in quotation marks, the words 'knowledge sets you free.' But the battles are really not about winning, Pio said. 'When we're all gathered here, it's not all about a punchline,' he said. 'It's also about rhymes that address topics that sometimes you keep to yourself, but then you decide to share it with others for all of us to think about.' Marcela Rodrigues can be reached at

Brad Pitt's Future Could Be in Trouble for Pushing Angelina Jolie in Winery Case, Says Source

and Brad Pitt's marriage ended years ago, but the drama around them hasn't stopped spilling into their personal and professional worlds. From their ongoing legal dispute over Château Miraval to fresh whispers about a potential Jolie tell-all, the former couple's feud shows no sign of slowing down. A fresh report suggests the tension is nearing its peak, with big consequences hanging over both stars. Sources add that Jolie feels worn down by the legal battle, while Pitt remains determined to defend what he views as part of his legacy. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce might be subject of her rumored tell-all book, says source A recent update from stated that the rift between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has worsened with the winery case. 'Angelina has stayed tight-lipped about the divorce and what really went down, but if Brad keeps pushing, she may change course and spill everything,' a source told the outlet. Insiders say the idea of a tell-all has become more tempting as the courtroom battle drags into yet another year. The former couple bought Château Miraval for around $60 million in 2011, but their business ties unraveled in 2021 when Jolie sold her share to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler's Stoli Group. Pitt later sued, arguing that the sale violated a mutual agreement not to sell without each other's consent. Jolie countersued, claiming Pitt tried to strong-arm her into signing a nondisclosure agreement that would silence her about what she describes as past abuse. One source said, 'The more money he drains from her in legal bills, the more money she's going to need.' And a book deal, according to them, could bring in $50 million or more, 'because there's so much interest in her.' Publishing insiders back that up. They note there's still huge curiosity about Jolie's side. They believe her memoir could rank among the most profitable celebrity books in recent memory. But it would also be explosive for Pitt, with one source warning the book could be a 'disaster' for him. While Jolie hasn't confirmed any plans, the whispers alone have added fuel to one of Hollywood's longest-running feuds. If Jolie moves forward, the fallout could make their strained relationship even messier — and change the way fans view one of Hollywood's most famous ex-couples.
