SJP baby shock: Surrogate carrying twin girls

The star and Matthew Broderick pay $200,000 to complete their family.

Sarah Jessica Parker, 44, and husband Matthew Broderick, 47, have shelled out more than $200,000 to welcome two baby daughters into their family — a move they hope will help rebuild their relationship.

The couple shocked Hollywood last week when they announced they were expecting twin girls via surrogacy, amid ongoing rumours that their marriage is struggling.

“Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters late this summer with the generous help of a surrogate,” their publicist said in a statement. “The entire family is overjoyed.”

Insiders say the couple, who are biological parents to son James, 6 (left), have made a commitment to their future together as they await the new arrivals.

“They really believe these babies can make their marriage stronger,” an insider told US magazine Star.

In August last year, it was reported that Matthew had been having an affair with a 25-year-old youth worker while Sarah was in the UK filming the first Sex And The City flick. The pair are hoping to put the scandal behind them by paying a 26-year-old divorcee more than $40,000 to carry the twins, conceived using IVF.
