In a June 2023 appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Matthew Broderick spoke about his daughters’ high school preparations, saying, “They’re very excited about that. Big step in their lives.” When the family began discussing where the twins would go to school, Matthew said that Tabitha and Loretta Broderick were originally adamant about enrolling in different high schools. “When it was time to decide for real, they were like, ‘No, we’re going to the same high school,'” he recalled. The actor explained their conflicting feelings by saying, “They’re extremely close, but definitely want their own space and their own friends and their own time.”
Matthew also revealed that Tabitha and Loretta were being a tad kinder to their dad than their mom during their teen years, but according to Sarah Jessica Parker, her husband once assured her that this is not an indication that they love her less. “He says, ‘But that is a badge of honor. They do that because they feel safe, and you are really the most important person in their life,'” she recalled to AARP.

Kelly Ripa assured Matthew that his daughters are always well-behaved around her, even when their parents aren’t present. In a 2020 Instagram exchange with SJP, Ripa also praised the girls’ cooking skills, revealing that she ate two slices of a cake they baked for an event Parker was unable to attend (via Hello!). “They did it from scratch,” Parker proudly boasted.
