Sarah Jessica Parker's three children seen in rare photo
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's three children are all grown up. 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 honour 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.

Sarah Jessica Parker shares how she and Matthew Broderick advise son James as he pursues acting
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are fully behind their son James Wilkie Broderick as he embarks on an acting career. In a recent interview with E! News, Parker shared that she and her husband offer "advice specific to conversations" their son brings to them as he begins navigating the entertainment industry. "I really want my children to be educated in the ways that are fulfilling to them," Parker said. "I don't think that there is one way to be an educated person or to be equipped to be an adult and try to fashion a life for yourself after what would be considered 'finishing college' -- let's say 22 years old." She added that her ultimate hope is for her children to find happiness and fulfillment in whatever path they choose, whether that's acting or something else entirely. "You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying and to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves -- emotionally, financially," she explained. "And that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people. And so we talk about work like that." Parker also reflected on the value of choice for young people today. "I'm curious to see what they all do, but I hope that they feel -- I hope all young people feel -- to some degree, that they have choices, and that there isn't one way," she added. In addition to their son, Parker and Matthew Broderick are also parents to 15-year-old twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell. "Oh, Mary!" on Broadway, the New York City premiere of " Some Like It Hot," and the premiere of " And Just Like That."

Sarah Jessica Parker hopes her kids can 'take care of themselves'
Sarah Jessica Parker wants her children to be able to "take care of themselves" financially. The 60-year-old actress has revealed that she wants her kids to be "pursuing things that are exciting and challenging" in their lives. Sarah - whose son James, 22, recently began his own acting career - told 'The E! News Sitdown': "I really want my children to be educated in the ways that are fulfilling to them. "I don't think that there is one way to be an educated person or to be equipped to be an adult and try to fashion a life for yourself after what would be considered 'finishing college' - let's say 22 years old. "You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying and to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves - emotionally, financially, and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people. And so we talk about work like that." Sarah - who also has 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion with husband Matthew Broderick - is "curious" to see what her kids do in their careers. The actress - who has been married to Matthew since 1997 - said: "I'm curious to see what they all do, but I hope that they feel - I hope all young people feel - to some degree, that they have choices and that there isn't one way." Meanwhile, Sarah recently claimed that not being a "Hollywood couple" has helped her marriage. Asked the secret to her happy marriage, she told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Probably that I don't talk about it! It really is a secret. "But maybe it's because we're not a Hollywood couple. We live in New York – maybe that's good." Sarah used to feel "insecure" about her appearance - but she's now stopped caring what people think about her. The 'Hocus Pocus' star said: "I've always been insecure about my looks, so nothing has changed. But I'm happy. I don't mind. "Every day when I leave the house, I have to think twice about how I look. "I know I'm going to run into someone with a camera and have to worry about whether I ant to wear my favourite baggy pants or what my hair looks like."

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't watch ‘Sex and the City' or ‘And Just Like That…'
The woman at the center of the 'Sex in the City' franchise can't bring herself to watch it. Sarah Jessica Parker, who stars in and produced both 'Sex and the City' and its spinoff sequel series 'And Just Like That…,' revealed she hasn't followed the lives of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends on screen. 'Oh my God, no. I don't watch it, never seen it,' Parker told E! News, explaining she doesn't like to watch herself. 'Never seen 'Sex and the City,' most of them.' Which makes us wonder: Are we the crazy ones because we have? 'Sex and the City' is based the 1996 book of the same name by Candace Bushnell, which was an anthology of her newspaper columns with the same title. The HBO series ran from 1998 to 2004 and also inspired two films. (HBO and CNN are both part of Warner Bros. Discovery.) The original show focused on Bradshaw, a columnist who wrote about sex and relationships and her three closest friends: Charlotte York (played by Kristin Davis); Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon); and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall). 'And Just Like That…' premiered in December 2021, minus Cattrall, who declined to return to the franchise, though she did make a bit of a cameo during the Season 2 finale. Parker also revealed that her 13-year-old twins, Tabitha and Marion, whom she shares with husband and fellow actor Matthew Broderick, have also not seen the franchise. Their 22 year-old son, James Wilkie, however, has seen a few episodes. 'I think it's very odd for them to yet let it into their viewing queue,' Parker explained. 'Even for James Wilkie, he started by coming to the premiere of 'And Just Like That,' then he started watching the show but school work got in the way. But it's all available for them some day if they want it, they'll get no pressure from me.' The third season of 'And Just Like That…' premieres Thursday.
