Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick: Parents of Twin Girls!
Sarah Jessica and Matthew’s twin daughters were born via a surrogate. Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick were born at 3:58 p.m. on Monday, June 22nd in Ohio. Marion weighed in at 5 lbs., 11 oz, while Tabitha was 6 lbs. Marion and Tabitha have a big brother, James Wilkie , age 6 ˝. The couple released this statement: “The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon.”
Sadly, the events leading up to the twins’ arrival were not so happy. The surrogate carrying the babies for Sarah Jessica and Matthew was repeatedly harassed. Her home was even broken into by police officers looking for dirt to sell to the tabloids. Her computer and voicemail were hacked and even her friends and family were threatened. Parker said she was worried about the woman “and the safe delivery of our children.”
Sarah Jessica, who is 44, said in an interview airing on Tuesday on NBC that the woman’s telephone and computer have been hacked into, and she had received threats. Her friends and relatives had also been targeted, she said. “She’s had friends threatened and family threatened and she’s had family of friends threatened.”
“The most unsavory of things have been done,” Parker has said. “She’s had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she’s had threats against her and true harassment. …There’s simply no excuse for doing this to somebody. It’s not acceptable. I am incredibly outraged by the sort of extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy.”
There is a criminal investigation in progress relating to the break-ins. Hopefully justice will prevail! This poor woman gives of her time and sacrifices her body to give children to a couple that cannot have them biologically and this is the kind of treatment she receives? Sickening!
Congratulations to the family, and hopefully their surrogate finds peace in the future.
