“In the span of 7 days one crosses the threshold into his freshman year of college the other 2 into 7th grade.
“The house is different. We are different. They need us more. And far less. So many know.
“Gutted at the time passed. Passing. Exhilarated by the possibilities that await them.

“The love. The love. The love.”
Shortly after, James celebrated his 19th birthday on October 28, 2021, and Parker posted a photo with the caption expressing her sadness at not being able to celebrate with her son.
“Today. He doesn’t wake with us. He is in his life. Away,” she wrote. “On this one, it's bittersweet. Not to be with him. To wish him the most happiest of birthdays.
“Our Scorpio.
“Our Oct baby.
“Our JW.
“Happy Birthday. Balloons. Candles. Hoping every birthday wish to come true.”

Tabitha Hodge Broderick and Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick
Parker and Broderick welcomed their two daughters, Tabitha and Marion, on June 22, 2009, via a surrogate.
The surrogate was plagued by paparazzi and tabloids, Parker told Access Hollywood before the birth of her twins.
She said the surrogate’s information was hacked including her phone, her personal computer, and “she’s had threats against her and true harassment.”
She added, “It keeps me up every night. It’s really incredibly upsetting to think of her so far away and me not being able to do something, beyond what I’m legally allowed to do.”
Parker said she and her husband tried to have another child for years, but they had difficulty conceiving.
Surrogacy was the easiest and most realistic route for them to take, she said.
When they found out they were having twins, Parker said, “We didn’t expect it."
"I think after a certain amount of time, you tend to hold your hopes at bay a bit so as not to be disappointed."
“One really would have been thrilling and we would’ve felt incredibly lucky. And two was a comedy.”
Is Sarah Jessica Parker private about her children?
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick both prefer to keep their children out of the spotlight.

In an April 2024 podcast episode for Ruthie's Table 4, Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about encouraging her children to have healthy relationships with food.
"When I was growing up, we weren't allowed sugar in the house, and we weren't allowed cookies, and we weren't allowed chocolate," Parker said, as reported by .
"So in our house, we have cookies, we have cake. We have everything," Parker added.
"And I think as a result, you kind of have a healthier relationship."
"And of course, all we did, the minute we moved out, was buy Entenmann's cakes and cookies."
Back in September 2021, Parker shared rare photos of her three children as they went off to school for the fall.
James, now 21, was starting his first semester at Brown University, and Tabitha and Marion, now 14, entered the 7th Grade.
The photos showed her children facing away from the camera so as not to reveal their faces and said she looks at motherhood differently and reflects on how she sees the things around her.
In a 2018 interview on , Parker said, “I read books differently, or I look at parents and children on the subway differently.”
She added, when her children aren’t with her she notices things around her that she wished they were there to see.
