Washington, Apr 29 (ANI): Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick are expecting twin girls via a surrogate mother.

Both Parker and Broderick’s reps confirmed the news.

A pal of the couple told Entertainment Weekly that Parker and Broderick have been trying to expand their brood since the birth of their 6-year-old son James, but had been unsuccessful.

“They came to the conclusion that this was going to be the best alternative for expanding their family,” FOX News quoted the friend, as telling Entertainment Weekly.

Parker, the star of the hit HBO series and movie “Sex and the City”, is currently filming “Did You Hear About the Morgans?”, a romantic comedy co-starring Hugh Grant.

Broderick is currently starring on Broadway in “The Philanthropist.” (ANI)
