Marriage woes and a hectic work schedule are taking their toll on the fragile actress. Clare Rigden reports.
As Sarah Jessica Parker did her regular school run last week with seven-year-old son James, it wasn’t the star’s A-list status that had people staring.
Her skinny jeans and a fitted singlet revealed an excruciatingly thin body, prompting concerns that the stress of juggling her movie and fashion careers with motherhood and her increasingly fraught relationship with husband Matthew Broderick may be taking its toll.
“She’s so skinny and skeletal,” an onlooker told Star magazine. “She looks unhealthy.”
With the second Sex And The City film debuting next month, workaholic Sarah has never been busier, or more stretched for time to spend with Matthew and her kids.
As well as being executive producer on the film, she has also recently taken on the role of president and chief creative officer for designer label Halston.
A hands-on mother to James, Sarah, 45, also has 10-month-old twins, Marion and Tabitha, to care for. Only recently she was reduced to tears during an interview when she revealed she often had to resort to seeing her baby daughters on Skype.
