The red carpet at the “SMASH” Broadway premiere turned into a living family portrait on April 10th as Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick arrived with their teenage twins, giving fans a rare look at how their daughters have grown. Tabitha and Marion Broderick, now 15, didn’t just accompany their parents – they showcased the fascinating ways fraternal twins can develop completely distinct looks and styles.
Parker, ever the fashion plate, chose a sophisticated black ensemble, while Broderick kept it crisp in navy. But the twins stole attention with their coordinated yet contrasting outfits – one in eye-catching teal with blue accents, the other in elegant black and cream. Their fashion choices seemed to mirror their facial features, with one appearing to be Parker’s double and the other favoring Broderick.
The internet immediately noticed the phenomenon, with social media buzzing about the “perfect genetic split.” Comments ranged from “One got all of SJP’s genes!” to “The other is Matthew in a wig!” – all celebrating the fascinating results of their family genetics.
This isn’t the first time the twins’ appearances have caused such delight. Their 2022 outing prompted similar discussions, proving that as they grow older, their individual traits become more pronounced. These rare public moments are treasured precisely because the family values their privacy so highly.
The Broadway appearance held special significance given the family’s journey. After son James was born in 2002, Parker and Broderick welcomed the twins via surrogacy in 2009. Parker has been open about their fertility struggles and why surrogacy became their path to expanding their family, offering insight into their deeply personal decision.
Now in high school, the twins continue to balance their special connection with developing individual identities. Parker has shared charming stories about their different personalities – from hobbies to their varying needs for personal space. Even their educational choices reflect this, having initially chosen separate schools before deciding to attend the same high school.
As Tabitha and Marion step occasionally into the spotlight, each appearance becomes a celebration of family, individuality, and the beautiful complexity of twin relationships. Their latest Broadway outing wasn’t just a night at the theater – it was a heartwarming glimpse into a Hollywood family that’s kept its normalcy amidst the fame.
