Sarah Jessica Parker Poses for Rare Photos With Twins for 'Hocus Pocus 2'

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's girls are all grown-up and the proud parents posed for some rare photos with their twins at the Hocus Pocus 2 premiere.

Parker reprises her role as Sarah Sanderson in the reboot of the beloved Halloween movie this fall and her teenage daughters joined her to promote the film at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York on Tuesday.

The Sex and the City star and Broderick are parents to 13-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha—full names Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge—who definitely seem to have inherited their mother's love for fashion as E! reports that they were wearing peep-toe heels from their mom's SJP Collection.

Although they're the children of two huge Hollywood stars, the Parker/Broderick kids rarely make public appearances.

The twins' red carpet outing comes months after their older brother James accompanied his mother for the premiere of And Just Like That.

Parker and Broderick welcomed their first son, James, in October 2002, naming him after Broderick's late father. Their twin daughters were born in June 2009, via a surrogate.

At the time they welcomed their twins the couple shared a statement saying their daughters' names were "family names on Parker's side."

Parker, 57, opened up about motherhood in an interview with Mother in 2018.

"It's not for everybody—there's a lot that's really hard," she said.

"It's exhausting, and you're basically just cleaning up after people all day. You're one big, good, old-fashioned secretary. All I do is organize peoples' lives and get them here and there and all that. It's what I wanted and with that, though, comes witnessing somebody hopefully develop into a really interesting, decent person who contributes something."

Despite how tough it can be, the star said that the greatest moments in her life were having her three children.

"If I could revisit one moment in my life, it would be the birth of my children, definitely," Parker said. "It's just you and, in my case, my husband and this child, and it's absolute euphoria."

She also described being a mother as both "painful" and "exhilarating."

"It's a really interesting way of living in the world. I read books differently, or I look at parents and children on the subway differently. I hear music differently, or when I see something, I think, 'I wish Tabitha and Loretta were with me now and they could see this.' That's the good part."

Hocus Pocus 2 is due to air on Disney+ on Friday.
