Power couple Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker have been married since 1997. The actors were first introduced by one of Parker’s brothers at the theater company they were both working at back in 1991. They went on their first date the next year and in 1995 the couple co-starred in Broadway revival of ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’. Though both celebrated thespians, the pair only share one on-screen credit with the 2005 Amy Sedaris film version of ‘Strangers With Candy’. They have, however, appeared in two major Broadway shows opposite one another, most recently in 2022’s ‘Plaza Suite’, which was originally planned for 2020 but delayed because of the pandemic. The couple has a son James, who was born in 2002. They waited to have their next children, welcoming twins Marion and Tabitha via surrogate in 2009.

Sarah Jessica joked about the effect the play had on their marriage, telling ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ it was the most time they’d spent together in years. “I only thought about being concerned when people ask(ed) us, ‘Are you concerned that this is going to be harmful to your marriage?’ And then I was worried. ‘Well, should we be?’,” she confessed. “We’ve never spent this much time together ever, even before we had kids. Even when we were just dating.”
