Sarah Jessica Parker kids really distract you from your relationship

Sarah Jessica Parker says children can “distract” from a relationship.

The New Year’s Eve actress who has three kids, James, nine, and two-year-old twins, Marion and Tabitha, with husband Matthew Broderick admits marriages can suffer once a child comes along and it’s important to make time for each other.

”Kids can really distract you from your relationship. Maybe in good ways and bad ways. It’s important to have all eyes on all parts of the relationship,” she said.

“It’s something you really have to pay attention to. But you figure it out.”

Sarah and Matthew have been together for 20 years and the Sex and the Citystar admits they’ve had their ups and downs.

“He does lots in the house. He shops for me a lot and he cooks for all of us. There are a lot of things he does better than I do, so it balances itself out. I don’t feel taken advantage of. We take care of each other,” she said.

“We’ve been together for 20 years and you have good days, you have decent days, and you have bad days. That’s a marriage. That’s a relationship. That’s a friendship, even relationships outside the marriage run the same course. If you’re in it f or the long haul and you want meaningful relationships you are going to go through lots of different periods.”
