Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick Celebrate Son's Brown University Graduation

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick celebrated their eldest son James Wilkie Broderick's graduation from Brown University, where he earned a degree in classics, classical languages, literatures, and linguistics. The couple emphasized the importance of their children being educated in ways fulfilling to them and stressed the value of independence, encouraging their kids to support themselves emotionally and financially rather than relying on their substantial family fortune. James, who has worked jobs like a sales associate and a seasonal server, has begun pursuing an acting career, including a guest appearance alongside his father in the CBS series Elsbeth. Parker and Broderick do not plan to bankroll their children's lives but hope they find challenging and gratifying paths. The couple also has 15-year-old twin daughters, Tabitha and Loretta, and while Matthew noted that one daughter is not currently pursuing acting, he and James have enjoyed working together. Overall, the family appears supportive and focused on fostering self-reliance and fulfillment in their children's endeavors.
