Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick

Sarah Jessica Parker's introduction to Matthew Broderick was a family affair: Broderick was directing two of her brothers in a 1991 Off-Broadway play, they invited sister Sarah to go to a movie with them, and the rest is history! The two actors (left, in 1993; right, 2011) started officially dating in 1992 and married in a secret ceremony in 1997. (The always-chic bride wore black.) Now the parents of three children (James Wilkie, and twins Marion & Tabitha, born via surrogate), Parker and Broderick just celebrated their 15th anniversary on May 19. Parker claims that the secret to their strong marriage is -- well, secrecy. "We try not to talk about the relationship," she has said. "It’s not that we’re not proud; it’s just that’s the kiss of death."
