Sarah Jessica Parker recently ran out of the New York City Ballet Gala due to a family situation, and now the actress revealed the reason why…
Sarah Jessica Parker is best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO television series Sex and the City.
Everyone knows just how popular Parker got soon after…
She even went on and won awards for her role, which included 2 Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
From then onwards, she appeared to become a style icon.
In the 2000s Parker worked for various big brands, including Garnier and Gap…
She became the spokesperson for Garnier hair products, and in the following year, she signed a $38 million deal with the Gap and even became the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s “Fashion Icon of the Year.”
Then Parker gained recognition in 2005 for debuting her first perfume, ‘Lovely’.
She later added ‘Covet’ to her fragrance line, which has been sold through her company SJP Beauty. Parker also has her own line of shoes, which launched in 2014, called the SJP Collection.
But soon after her personal life became the talk of the town…
Following high-profile relationships with top-notch actors…
Including Robert Downey Jr.
She dated Downey Jr. for 8 years from 1984 till 1991 but split up with him because of his drug addiction.
And John F Kennedy Jr.
Who she dated briefly shortly after her split from Downey Jr.
But that didn’t last long, and soon after Parker married Matthew Broderick in 1997.
Parker welcomed her son James Wilke Broderick, named after Broderick’s late father in October 2002. In 2009, the couple welcomed twin daughters, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, via surrogate.
Parker carried on her career after she started a family and has continued to star in movies, including the new Hocus Pocus 2, which is to be released later this year.
But more recently, Parker graced the New York City Ballet Gala on Wednesday…
According to Page Six, Parker was being honored at the New York City Ballet’s 10th Annual Fall Fashion Gala…
When she received some devastating news.
This comes just one day after Parker attended the premiere of Hocus Pocus 2 with her husband…
And her thirteen-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, who are often kept out of the spotlight.
A source who was in attendance at the Gala told the media outlet that moments after Parker arrived at the David H. Koch Theater at the Lincoln Center…
She left.
As per reports, in a bizarrely dramatic moment, it was announced from the stage that she had to pull out of the event because of a “sudden devastating family situation.”
Since then, fans have been wondering what exactly happened for the actress to make a quick exit from the event…
“Our family is sad to announce that after an unexpected and rapid illness, Paul Giffin Forste passed away yesterday at age 76,” the actress’ family said in a statement obtained by Page Six.
“In his last moments he was surrounded with the love and gratitude of his adored wife, Barbara, of 54 years, and children, including Sarah Jessica Parker.”
“Paul will be remembered with the spirit of loving kindness which was his faith, his special delight in his 13 grandchildren, and his sustained belief in making the world a more charitable, tolerant, and beautiful place for all,” it finished.
According to the Daily Mail, Parker is grieving the loss of her step-dad, Paul Giffin Forste, who died on Wednesday.
Rest in Peace, Paul Giffin Forste.
