Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't often show her twin daughters in public, but she made an exception last week at the premiere of "Hocus Pocus 2."
Her twins, Tabitha and Marion, were born from a surrogate mom after years of failing to conceive.
Sarah Parker and her husband are also doting parents to a 19-year-old son, James.
American Actress and Television Producer Sarah Jessica Parker is no stranger to the red carpet, considering her status as one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood.
On September 27, 2022, the entertainment icon made yet another rare red carpet appearance at the New York City premiere of "Hocus Pocus 2."

But this time, Parker did not grace the red carpet alone. She was attended by her husband, Matthew Broderick, and twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta. The "Sex and the City" actress was clad in an elegant floral mandarin top with lilac pants and pink shoes.
On the other hand, Tabitha opted for a beautiful black dress and matching heels, while her twin sister, Marion, donned a shimmery silver dress with a splash of blue and pink on the side, finishing it with a pair of sparkly heels.
Although the trio's outfits captured the public's attention, fans and outlets seemed more thrilled to see the twins appear on the red carpet with their mother.

Since Tabitha and Marion were born, Parker has kept them from the spotlight. So, seeing the mother and her daughters together on the red carpet was a rare opportunity.
Fans were delighted to see the 13-year-old look very grown up and share an uncanny resemblance with the Hollywood star. Here are more details about Parker, her beautiful daughters, and other family members.
Sarah Parker Welcomes Twins via Surrogacy
In April 2009, Parker and her husband left the public excited after revealing that they welcomed twin girls via surrogacy. Before the heartwarming news, the movie star had tried to get pregnant through various means, but all efforts were futile.

Eventually, Parker and her husband opted to use a surrogate mother, which would be successful. On June 22, 2009, at 3:58 p.m., the couple celebrated the arrival of their beautiful daughters.
Although she loves keeping him away from the spotlight like her daughters, James still appears in events with his parents once in a while.
According to the couple's statement, Marion weighed five pounds and 11 ounces, while Tabitha weighed six pounds. Parker and her family were delighted about the newest addition and looked forward to watching the twins grow. Thirteen years later, Marion and Tabitha have successfully grown into beautiful teenagers.

Although they are twins, the pair have different personalities and interests. Parker once revealed that Tabitha and Marion love spending time with each other, but sometimes, they desire to spend time away from each other.
The mom of three also confessed that the twins attend different schools, as suggested by Tabitha. Ultimately, Parker has proven that her daughters possess unique personalities and tastes, and as the twins get older, fans can see for themselves.

For example, Tabitha and Marion chose very different outfits for the "Hocus Pocus 2" premiere. While the former opted for a plain and simple dress, the latter went for a more sophisticated look.
Nevertheless, irrespective of their unique preferences, Parker does not love her daughters any less. She still carries out fun activities with them, including an egg hunt during the Easter celebrations. Meanwhile, the "Failed to Launch" star may be a celebrity, but when it comes to her daughters, Parker prefers privacy.
However, once in a while, the actress comments on her parenthood, especially during notable milestones in Tabitha and Marion's lives.

For example, in 2018, the twins entered the fourth grade, and Parker chose to let her fans know on their first day of school as fourth graders. Taking to Instagram, the doting mom shared a snapshot of one of her daughters in a red skirt, white top, and silver sandals, backing the camera. She captioned the photo (via Today):
"First day of 4th grade. No backpack, no books, no supplies. Hopefully, just some confidence and the excitement of the unknown. The fall, full of promise and possibilities."

Three years later, Parker shared a photo of her twins beginning the summer as seventh graders. Alongside the lovely snap, the actress penned an appreciation message for educators. She wrote (via Pure Wow):
"So long to 6th grade. Hello to our rising 7th graders. Thank you, dear teachers. For your kindness, good humor, your shared love of your work, and all the whole family learned about Venice, Baghdad, Spain, and even our global city, New York!"
Sarah Parker and Her Son Grace the Red Carpet
Besides her twin daughters, Parker is also a doting mother to a son, James, who is all grown up and will be clocking 20 this year. Although she loves keeping him away from the spotlight like her daughters, James still appears in events with his parents once in a while.
In December 2021, James walked the red carpet with Parker and Broderick at the premiere of the HBO Max series "And Just Like That…" a reboot of "Sex and the City" in style. The teenager and his father were clad in elegant black suits with coordinating pocket squares for the occasion.
On the other hand, Parker graced the event, looking gorgeous in a stylish gray Oscar de La Renta dress, and completed the ensemble with a matching cape and pink satin heels.
The trio posed for pictures and could not have looked happier, especially James and Parker, who showed off their close bond on the red carpet.

Besides being spotted at events with Parker and Broderick, James has been on his mom's social media pages a few times. In May 2021, the teenager graduated from high school, and Parker marked the occasion with an Instagram post.
She posted a picture showing only her son's back alongside a lengthy caption filled with congratulatory words. Overall, Parker may have many titles, like actress, director, designer, etc., but the title "mother" will always be the most cherished for the star.
