“I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”
That was, however, not the last she’d hear of the degrading comments. In 2018, the actress again faced fire after going to the Met Gala donning an ornate nativity headpiece. People took to social media to make fun of her skin, calling her a senior citizen.

Although she has faced backlash over her fashion choices in the past years, the “Honeymoon in Vegas” actress has stood her ground, focusing on what matters most — her family.
During the 2006 New York annual fashion week, while everyone else was rushing to secure their best gowns and statements for the event, Parker chose to stay home and be with her family. Her son James, then three, had just started school, and she had to drop him there every day.
Today, attending events has become quite the task as Parker is a mother of three. They welcomed their first son James Wilkie Broderick on October 28, 2002, and he is currently a student at Brown University in Rhode Island.
Their secondborns are twins Tabitha Hodge Broderick and Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick, who they had on June 23, 2009, via surrogate.
While Parker’s fans have loved and criticized her equally, her husband, Broderick, remains a constant in her life. The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” actor and his wife have been smitten with each other since they first met in the early 1990s.

They tied the knot in a surprise wedding ceremony on May 19, 1997, and have been going strong since. Surprisingly, Parker disclosed that the secret to such a long and happy union is their ability to spend time apart. She said on the Sophia Amoruso’s Girlboss Radio podcast, as Oprah Daily reports:
“I know this sounds nuts, but we have lives that allow us to be away and come back together.”
Their relationship has been everything they dreamed it would be, and Broderick could not stop gushing over how much of an impression Parker made the first time he saw her.

He recalled their first date, saying he clearly remembers her walking down the street towards the movie theatre. “It’s very unique because I wouldn’t remember most people the first time I saw them come down the street. [But] I remember it as clear as day.”
