14 DAY TRIAL // Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have been together for 12 years, which is more than can be said about most couples in Tinseltown. Yet, for one reason or another, no matter what they do, they can’t seem to shake rumors that their marriage is a scam or heading towards divorce at best. In recent months, the two have been growing apart, so much so that they’re not even living together anymore, News of the World says.
The actress has never made a secret of the fact that the relationship she has with her husband is not perfect – on the contrary, both have been very open about whatever difficulty they encounter in their daily life. Still, it would seem that SJP never quite managed to get over the cheating allegation made years back, especially since Matthew never denied it. Moreover, having to focus more on her career has also taken its toll on their relationship, up to the point that they’re now an item only on papers, spies dish for the tab.
“Friends fear the 45-year-old actress’ health is starting to suffer as her marriage to screen star Matthew Broderick is strained, her weight is plunging and the fragile relationship with her co-stars is near collapse. Friends insist she and husband Matthew, 48, have never really recovered from the scandal over an alleged affair with a 25-year-old woman while Sarah was away filming the first SATC movie,” the tab writes. A source corroborates, saying the two basically live in separate houses and are only together whenever there’s a camera near-by and either has to promote one project or another.
“It was bizarre to see. Even though they were both in LA they arrived and left the practice run separately. And they didn’t say a word to each other during the run-through. Of course next day when the cameras were on they were joined at the hip. Her eating is erratic. She seems to be trying out a new diet all the time. She’s also becoming a fitness fanatic and a hardcore follower of Madonna’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson’s pilates regime. If anything she needs to rest and eat more. She’s the thinnest she’s ever been. It’s a combination of too much work, stress and the problems in her personal life,” an unnamed tipster explains.
The tab then goes on to say that proof that the marriage is near collapse can be found right in SJP’s interviews in the past. In one of them, for instance, the actress says Matthew is not jealous when she sees her onscreen kissing another man because he probably “doesn’t care.” In another, she says they have separate financial situations, adding she sees no need for one to know the kind of money the other makes.
