Making It Work for the Kid
Filed under: Love Line > Sarah Jessica Parker
Could Sarah Jessica Parker have known that Matthew Broderick was effing around with a twenty something whore and turned a blind eye to it???
An insider tells the British media, "They have never had a conventional marriage, but it works for the two of them. Sure they fight like other couples but they love each other and their little boy. They are so private and hate all this silly gossip."
Another source reveals that son James Wilke is the glue that holds the two actors together, "(SJP and Broderick) had been out of love for a long time but remain married for their son. Sarah and Matthew have been struggling for years. Now they have decided to make things work - especially for the sake of their son, James."
Is that a good enough reason to stay together?
Sometimes 'staying together for the kid' makes the kid miserable cuz mommy and daddy are miserable.
Can't he find a new beard???

I think she's stunning! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and they say there's someone for everyone.
I admire them for staying together for their son. Just because they aren't in love anymore does not mean that they are not a good family unit. It also doesn't mean that they are fighting all the time. Obviously they remain friends and on some level, they care for each other, maybe just not the way you think they should. It would be more harmful for their son to start sharing time between them, and meeting potential new mates for each, who may or may not work out. All relationships reach a point where friendship and mutual goals are just as important as love.
Re: fizzi – There ARE no gaurantees. EVERY new couple thinks they're '100% invested, secure, and convinced such a marriage would work out' at the beginning, as you stated. There's the rub, my friend. I know people who cheat on their partners and yet they think they love them more than anything.
Matthew and Nathan Lane make the perfect couple
I think they should work out their marriage, and see what happens….. just don't give up easily, like some people and celebrities do…… I know few couples that've done it, and they seem quite all right….
Sorry to hear that though I can feel your frustration PErezito… those last comments make me realize what you and your family had gone through… that's why you are such a miserable piggy
Re: Cerette – Agreed. It's admirable that they even try to stay together for their kid's sake. A lot of celeb couples don't even bother to do that much.
Perez-where is your freakin' logic?!
He was allegedly cheating on SJP w/ another WOMAN(you know-the kind w/ a vagina!? I know you are not personally familiar but…). If he is married to a woman and cheating w/ another woman, how is it he needs a 'beard'?
I know some gay men and they don't typically cheat on their beard wives w/ other girls, they cheat w/ men, dumbass!
EVERYONE ISN'T GAY, PEREZ! I know you wish we all were but we're not!
Wait until you have a kid Perez, then you will understand how someone else's happiness can be much more important than your own.
Staying together for the children is the first admirable thing I have witnessed from these two.
My parents hate eachother but are still married. Talking from experience. Get a divorce.
Hey, if a frog and a horse mate, they already know they are incompatible. But if they manage to make a frorse then yes, they should stay together if they atleast like each other.
hes so blah…he doesnt even deserve her…she needs someone equally as fabulous!!!!
As The Beatles once said…"We can work it out!" Even though I think Matthew can (& Has obviously done) do better than SJP, I do believe in sticking through things for the children. There comes a point in every marriage that all the mystery & passion runs thin…especially when they're kids involved. Now if there is physical or emotional abuse…….RUN like hell from that relationship. It's no good for anyone! But if the parents are civil & care for one another, then by all means, don't put your kids through having to share them. Kids are tough but to have to go back & forth from one home to another? All because mommy or daddy think maybe they should have more opportunities to play around? That's called being selfish. When you become a parent…it's not about YOU anymore. You give that privilege up the day your child comes into this world. Divorce is easy. Marriage is tough. And so is life!
With that said….it's good to know that Matthew is into redheads. I'm one & JJUUSSTT in case he does separate from SJP……he can look me up anytime. He's a doll!
Love SJP. But have to say, kinda lost a little respect for her after reading this…
I read a recent interview with SJP where she made it out like they make it work–which gave me the impression that they're still together for their kid. I'm married with children myself, and I know from experience that it's hard work to maintain a relationship with children. Hell, relationships are hard to maintain even without children. Just look at all of the Hollywood break-ups and divorces in real life! Sometimes sticking it out for the kids is what good people do. That's why they call it till death do we part! Divorces can be financially impossible, especially with custody issues. I love SJP, and wish her the best.
Re: Sigh – thank you for posing an intelligent argument! I am well aware there are no guarantees, and I agree with the majority that love is not a cemented feeling, but that it ebbs and flows and sometimes goes away. But as far as getting married, I see too many people who get married for the wrong reasons. Because of a child, for money, for a fleeting feeling. I should have phrased my statement better, because you're more than right. I guess I don't think anyone should marry unless they're willing to fight for the relationship when things get rough. (Because they will). If you have a partner who's honest about looking elsewhere and tells you, to me, that's actually love. To have enough respect not to lie to the other person. But then again, I don't really know what the fuck I'm talking about, because no relationship is the same, nor are two people, and none of us know what we're doing or else we'd all be happy and content. I'm just bent about Perez's use of bastard and tried to make a point arguing against it.
Thanks for putting me to task
I've thought he was gay for years. Him and Nathan Lane are awefully buddy buddy…. And she can do a MILLION times better than him anyway. I say move along!
They are not a Hollywood couple. They are a NYC couple.
Well who'd a thunk it'd be a chick?
The cheating never came as a suprise, the fact that it was a nasty whore in a bar and it was a woman was what got me…
Gay
damn them.
He's gross-he looks like a fifty year old nerd. While she's still hot, she needs to go find a real man. Honey, it's not to late. Let him hear the front door slamming when you leave. That 20 something will get tired of those grays in his hair.
He was hawt before he got soft and pudgy. It's probably a male mid-life crises.
How very predictable. I know! SHE came on to HIM. It just happened. They were just standing there, and before they knew it…They had that fight and all, and he was mad…SJ turned him down the last couple times he nudged her…etc. etc. etc.
Maybe they have an 'agreement.' Who knows. I like her, though. Barely remember him, don't see live stuff much, live too far away from NYC. The little boy is a gift, though. Hope they find what works.
Re: XOXO – The reason Perez and many readers on site talk about how ugly they think she is is because she is neither a publicity whore nor a politically correct moron. Same reason they dump on Jennifer Anniston.
What is with men???? Don't get married if you can't keep it in your effin' pants. And look at them. She should be the one cheating!!
broderick is a fat blob that hasn't been in a film worth the celluloid it was shot on since…project x. sjp is better off
Yeah Perez, wtf…are you suddenly a fucking marriage counselor? Shut your fat, ugly mouth. You know nothing and are fucking useless.
get a divorce, do me instead matthew!
that is so not carri-like. take a page from carri's book, the character you played for years, and fucking be strong for both your son and yourself. it's more maladaptive to force yourselves to be together when you are living separate lives.
Another man who can't stand being secondary to his wife/mate. Weak willed pig. She should dump his ass.
Oh and he's not gay but he is bald as a billard ball.
If they can't work it out "divorce" is the magic word!!!
Re: Jim B – Well Jim as a fact my parents divorced when I was 11 years old, and thats was no doubt the best move they made 4 the kids. I dont know where u get ur STATS from but I can tell u staying together 4 the kids is bull and all the children became productive members of society. All worked out well.
So the other woman is a "whore"? Why don't you write slut on his forehead?!
She is so pretty and he is so very creepy looking.
o please he is gay as fudge.
all of nyc knows that.
