Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Rare Photos of Her Twin Daughters on Their 17th Birthday — Photos

For years, Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick have kept their twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick, largely out of the spotlight. Public appearances have been few and far between, making even small glimpses of the sisters a rarity.

Before Tabitha and Marion were born, Sarah Jessica and Matthew spoke openly about their hopes of growing their family. In April 2009, the couple announced they were expecting twin daughters via surrogacy after spending years trying to have more children.

Just a month later, Sarah Jessica reflected on the experience. Speaking with Access Hollywood, the actress said, “I’m excited. I’m in disbelief. I’m really grateful. I feel really fortunate. My son is so excited, my husband is so excited.” The actress later shared that pursuing surrogacy came after a long and emotional journey.

Now, 17 years later, Sarah Jessica marked a major milestone for her daughters with an emotional tribute shared in an Instagram post on June 22, 2026:

“June 22, 2009, Today you are 17. And wise. And good. And happy. And beautifully finding your way. And funny. And devoted friend. And beloved daughters.”

“Happy birthday, dearest Loretta and Tabitha. With admiration and every ounce of my love,” she added, ending it with, “XXX, Mama.”

While Sarah Jessica’s message celebrated the young women her daughters have become, recent public appearances provide a glimpse of what Tabitha and Marion look like at 17.

On April 10, 2025, the twins joined Matthew at a Broadway event earlier this year. Standing beside their father, they appeared nearly as tall as he, wearing polished ensembles and understated hairstyles that reflected the low-key image they had maintained despite growing up in a famous family.

A few months before their 17th birthday, Sarah Jessica and Matthew posed with Tabitha, Marion, and their older brother, James Wilkie Broderick, during an event on January 26, 2026. The sisters appeared relaxed and comfortable beside their family, offering another rare present-day glimpse of the teenagers after years spent largely outside the spotlight.

Sarah Jessica’s birthday carousel then took followers back through the years, sharing moments from the twins’ childhood that had largely remained private until now.

One close-up image captures Tabitha and Marion as teenagers sitting side by side indoors beneath warm lighting. Both wear their long brown hair parted near the middle and appear makeup-free as they look downward at something outside the frame.

One smiles softly with lowered eyes, while her sister looks more intently, their faces nearly touching in an affectionate, intimate moment.

Another photograph transports us to a carefree summer afternoon in the city. Tabitha and Marion sit side by side on the wide steps of a brownstone townhouse surrounded by lush greenery, each savoring an ice cream cone coated in colorful sprinkles.

Tabitha wears a pale pink dress with puffed sleeves and silver sandals, while Marion is dressed in a flowing white frock paired with brightly colored sneakers in shades of pink, blue, and orange. Bathed in sunlight and seated close together, the sisters appear completely absorbed in the simple childhood treat.

A third image takes us back to Tabitha and Marion’s toddler years. The sisters sit together on a wooden swing outdoors, wearing matching bright pink swimsuits covered in oversized multicolored polka dots and hearts.
