“It Was Love at First Sight, But it Didn’t Feel Right,” Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s Real Love Story

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are a Hollywood couple who have been associated with a strong, happy marriage for decades. They treated each other carefully, but nevertheless, as all married people had some challenges. Together, they have embraced the joys of parenthood, raising three children. Their journey as a family has been marked by love, dedication, and shared experiences.

It was love at first sight, but it didn’t feel right.

Sarah Jessica Parker reminisced about the early days of her relationship with Matthew Broderick, revealing that they initially met for a movie with their friends back in 1991. From the very first moment, they had butterflies for each other, but the timing wasn’t right because they were both involved with other people.

“We were both seeing other people, so it was illegal, and we stayed away from one another. We understood that we had to do right by the other people and break up officially,” shared the actress.

However, destiny had a different plan in store for them. Their paths crossed again, and on March 8, 1992, they went on their first official date, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey together. From that moment, they have been inseparable, never spending a night apart except for work-related commitments or personal responsibilities.

Parker encountered a few romantic mishaps on her journey to find true love.

• Robert Downey Jr. Their relationship blossomed in 1984 when both budding stars were just 18 years old, brought together by their work on the film Firstborn. Sarah and Robert quickly became the talk of the town, with their rising careers captivating the gossip magazines throughout the 80s. However, after 7 years together, the couple decided to part ways in 1991.

• Nicolas Cage. In 1992, Sarah took on a co-starring role alongside Nicolas Cage in the comedic film “Honeymoon in Vegas.” The onscreen romance mirrored real-life rumors, as Sarah and Nicolas were speculated to have been involved romantically during the filming period. However, their relationship was short-lived and came to an end once the movie wrapped up.

Celebrating love for almost 30 years.

When asked about the secret behind their long-lasting marriage, Parker revealed that their happiness cannot be attributed to a single factor. She emphasized that as individuals and as a couple, they have evolved and changed over time. Parker believes that liking and genuinely appreciating one’s partner is essential to sustaining a relationship.

Of course, for such a long-lasting period of marriage, the couple had some troubles. In 2011 Sarah Jessica Parker revealed that Matthew and she had some challenges. During an interview, Parker bravely acknowledged that her union with actor Matthew Broderick was far from flawless. She said: “We’ve been together for 20 years and you have good days, you have decent days, and you have bad days. That’s a marriage. That’s a relationship. That’s a friendship, even — relationships outside the marriage run the same course.”

Although annoyances may arise, the actress expressed her joy in continually discovering new facets of Broderick’s personality. Her husband shares the same thoughts, “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.”
