In the crazy world of Hollywood, it’s rare to find a marriage that is actually able to stand the test of time. That’s what makes the 23 year marriage of Hollywood stars Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker so impressive!
While appearing on SiriusXM’s “Quarantined with Bruce” on Friday, Broderick opened up about the secret behind his long-lasting union with Parker.
“I keep reading ‘communication,’ and ‘she’s my best friend.’ Uh, any cliché you want?” Broderick said jokingly, according to People Magazine. 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. And I can’t believe my son’s 18.”
Broderick, 58, and Parker, 55, had been planning to appear together onstage in the revival of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite before Broadway went dark earlier this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“You know, speaking of how talented my wife is, I should also say that getting to do this play, even though we only just did it in Boston for a little while … she was so, so good in it,” Broderick said. “I really had never acted with her onstage and hadn’t really acted with her at all. And I was just reminded of how funny and smart and what a great comic actor she is — or actor, never mind the comic part. She’s very good at it. So I hope everybody gets to see her do it.”
This comes two years after Parker gave an interview in which she opened up about her relationship with her husband.
“It seems so silly, but I think you’re very lucky if you like the person,” the “Sex & The City” star said. “I still just really like him. I’m sure I annoy him and he annoys me, but I literally learn about him every day. I’m like, ‘You’re doing what? You’re reading what?’ ”
“I think marriage has a lot of vitality,” Parker added. “If you’re fortunate, it’s like this dazzling organism.”
Broderick and Parker dated for five years before marrying in 1997. They have since become parents to twins Tabitha and Loretta, 11, and son James Wilkie, 18.
