Sarah Jessica Parker has celebrated her 29th wedding anniversary to husband Matthew Broderick by sharing a series of rare throwback photos on Instagram, including an intimate Polaroid of the couple at home.
The 'Sex and the City' star posted the images on May 19, 2026, captioning them: 'May 19th, 1997-May 19th, 2026. 29 years. And counting. Here’s to you my darling. With your favorite band joining me in serenading you. Us. Forever young. Xxx, Your wife Sarah Jessica.'
In the candid snap, Parker is curled up beside Broderick as he kisses her forehead while eating from a bowl. The post received an outpouring of support from fans and friends, including Andy Cohen, who joked: 'And they said it wouldn’t last!'
The couple first met in 1991 through Parker's brothers, Toby and Pippin, who were involved with the New York theatre company Naked Angels. At the time, both were dating other people, which Parker later described as 'illegal' on 'The Howard Stern Show', adding that they understood they had to break up with their partners officially.
They shared the stage in the 1996 Broadway production of 'How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' before marrying on May 19, 1997, at the Angel Orensanz Synagogue in New York. Parker has previously spoken of Broderick's humour, intelligence and handsomeness, while Broderick recalled knowing 'that’s it' the first time he saw her.
The couple have three children: son James Wilke, born in 2002, and daughters Marion and Tabitha, born via surrogate in 2009. Parker has described marriage as having 'good days, decent days and bad days', emphasising that lasting love requires patience and resilience.
