Sarah Jessica Parkeris opening up about her other half.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’sThe Howard Stern Show, the 58-year-oldSex and the Cityalum got candid about how she met her husbandMatthew Broderickand why she hasn’t been able to be apart from him ever since.
Parker recalled, “We had our first official date on March 8 of 1992 and we’ve been together ever since.”
The actress added that the couple have been inseparable and have “never spent a night apart since then, with the exception of work on location, or his mother was ill for a bit so he went to take care of her, but from that first night, we’ve never been apart.”
Parker spouted off the qualities that attracted her most to Broderick, 61, as well as his unique quirks like riding messenger bikes with no brakes and holding onto buses.
“I liked his person very much. He’s so smart, he’s so funny, I like this choice of friends, the way he was living in New York, what was important to him, how he kind of traveled around the city,” she gushed. “Really smart and really talented and he was, I thought, so beautiful and handsome and charming.”
“I love being home in New York,” Parker declared. “I wanted to build a life here and he was born and raised in the West Village, literally — he’s never lived north of 11th Street.”

The couple dated for five years before they finallytied the knotin May 1997. Since then, the pair have welcomed three children, son James Wilkie, 20, and twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell, 13.
Back in 2018, theAnd Just Like Thatstar told PEOPLEthe secretbehind her long standing marriage to Broderick.
“I feel like it changes,” she explained, saying she couldn’t attribute their happiness to one thing. “Your needs are shifting. You and your partner are going to change. It seems so silly, but I think you’re very lucky if you like the person. I still just really like him. I’m sure I annoy him and he annoys me, but I literally learn about him every day. I’m like, ‘You’re doing what? You’re reading what?’”

Parker also revealed that she “had never thought about” the specific moment she knew Broderick was the one.
“I never thought about a wedding dress. Never. Had not one daydream about it,” she confessed. “At one point I just simply remember thinking, ‘God, I really hope he asks me to marry him.’ I don’t know when or why. It was fairly early on.”
