Sarah Jessica Parker lands the cover of Vogue for August and gets her whole family in on the act for an editorial inside.
Parker, 46, told the magazine that she and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, are active parents.
“We don’t have any live-in help. We’re pretty hands-on parents,” Parker said. “That’s something that’s important to both of us, and we don’t shirk it, because what’s the point in having a family if you’re not going to really participate in it, you know?”
Her children James Wilkie, 8, and 2 year-old twin daughters Loretta and Tabitha, keep her sleep at a minimum but she says she’s just worried about keeping up.
“I guess I think there are things about it that I hope have made me a better mother,” she says. “I’ve had a lot of opportunities to do the things that I wanted to do, like sleep. I have slept till 11:00 for a lot of years.”
“Honestly, the only thing that I’m concerned about is the energy: I hope I can maintain the energy,” she adds. “I think about all the years I’ve spent parenting James Wilkie and everything I put into it, and there are two of them.”
A quintessential New York couple, SJP said that she and Matthew did think of leaving The Big Apple behind but the vibe of NYC is always a draw.
“I can’t imagine living in seclusion. We flirted with it. We went outside the city and troubled all these realtors and stood in these homes and fantasized, and then I kept picturing nine o’clock at night and…
The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door,” Parker said. “There is no choice. And I love that.”
