Matthew Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker Reveal Which of Their Kids Is ‘Repelled’ by Their Jobs

Despite both Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick being beloved actors, it seems one of their kids is “repelled” by the performing arts (and another wants to dive in head first)!

In a recent interview with People, Broderick revealed that one of his twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell, is “repelled” by performing. He said, “If you say, ‘What about you?’ She says ‘Nope, no absolutely not.'”

Now, eagle-eyed fans may believe that Tabitha may be the one who isn’t a fan of performing, all because of what Parker said to People back in 2018.

She said her twins have “different interests,” adding, “They’re really devoted to each other, but they’ll also say, ‘I need time away from her.’ Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in. They go to different schools. That’s Tabitha’s idea.”

However, their son, James Wilkie, is one in the family who wants to follow in his parent’s footsteps. “I think he is gonna try, yeah. He’s very smart,” he said. “He has a really good education too, so he has a lot of different things he can do, but I think right now he likes acting.”

Per James’ IMDb, he’s already appeared in two projects: as Carl in an episode of Elsbeth in 2025 and the Country Club Valet in Lady in the Lake. He’s currently set to be in the short Why Not, Pat? and as The Kid in Days Ending in Y.

For those who don’t know, Parker and Broderick met through her brothers in the early 1990s. They started dating in 1992, and in 1997, they married in a historic New York synagogue.

They later welcomed three children: a son named James Wilkie, born on Oct 28, 2002, and twin daughters, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, born on June 22, 2009.

In a super-rare interview with People, Parker talked about motherhood, saying, “It’s the most perfectly overwhelming experience.”
