Parker & Broderick’s surrogate gives birth

The surrogate employed by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick has given birth to the U.S. celebrity couple’s twin daughters.

E! News said the babies were born Monday at East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, Ohio.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters at 3:58 p.m. (EDT), the couple’s representatives said in a statement issued Tuesday. Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker’s side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon.

The New York-based couple, who are also the parents of 6-year-old James, reportedly are with the surrogate.
