Sarah Jessica Parker Marks 29 Years With Matthew Broderick in Rare Instagram Tribute

The rare post offers a glimpse into a marriage the couple has long chosen to keep private.

Overview

  • Sarah Jessica Parker, who shared throwback photos on Instagram Tuesday, marked 29 years of marriage with the caption “29 years. And counting.”
  • The couple wed in a surprise ceremony on May 19, 1997 at New York’s Angel Orensanz Synagogue, where about 100 guests thought they were attending a party.
  • Parker chose a black wedding dress, a decision she has said stemmed from feeling too embarrassed to wear white.
  • They first connected through New York theater in the early 1990s via the Naked Angels company and began dating in 1992.
  • Parker and Broderick have three children — son James Wilkie and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, born via surrogate — and she has credited their privacy with helping the marriage last.
