“It Was Illegal!” Sarah Jessica Parker Revealed Why She Stayed Away From Matthew Broderick at First

Love defies conventions, as exemplified by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. In an interview, Parker revealed the remarkable circumstances they met, navigating obstacles and honoring their commitments to others. Their enduring story is a testament to the power of true love, transcending all odds.

It was love at first sight, but it didn’t feel right.

Sarah Jessica Parker reminisced about the early days of her relationship with Matthew Broderick, revealing that they initially met for a movie with their friends back in 1991. From the very first moment, they had butterflies for each other, but the timing wasn’t right because they were both involved with other people.

“We were both seeing other people, so it was illegal, and we stayed away from one another. We understood that we had to do right by the other people and break up officially,” shared the actress.

However, destiny had a different plan in store for them. Their paths crossed again, and on March 8, 1992, they went on their first official date, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey together. From that moment, they have been inseparable, never spending a night apart except for work-related commitments or personal responsibilities.

They knew they were for each other and tied the knot.

Parker enthusiastically shared the qualities that drew her to Broderick, emphasizing his intelligence, humor, and captivating charm. She admired his choice of friends, his way of life in New York, and his keen sense of exploration within the city. Fascinated by his unconventional habits, such as riding messenger bikes without brakes and clinging onto buses, she found his quirks endearing and an integral part of his allure.

After dating for five years, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick exchanged vows in May 1997. Over the years, they have built a beautiful family, blessed with three children: son James Wilkie and twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell. Despite the demands of their successful careers, the couple has prioritized their relationship and managed to maintain a strong and loving bond.

Celebrating love for almost 30 years.

When asked about the secret behind their long-lasting marriage, Parker revealed that their happiness cannot be attributed to a single factor. She emphasized that as individuals and as a couple, they have evolved and changed over time. Parker believes that liking and genuinely appreciating one’s partner is essential to sustaining a relationship.

Although annoyances may arise, the actress expressed her joy in continually discovering new facets of Broderick’s personality. Her husband shares the same thoughts, “I don’t know the secret at all, but I, you know, I’m very grateful and I love her. It’s amazing. I mean, I can’t believe that it’s been that long. It doesn’t feel like it.”

From their unexpected beginnings to their unbreakable bond, their journey exemplifies the power of connection, admiration, and embracing the growth and changes that come with time.
