Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick are choosing to live apart following the arrival of their new twins, Marion and Tabitha. Parker moved out of the couple's New York townhouse to Brooklyn.

She is said to have splashed out millions on a nine-bedroom Brooklyn home. She is expected to take the couple's three children with her. Broderick, meanwhile, will stay in the New York City home, which is close to Broadway – where he does a lot of his work as an actor. A source said: "It would be a surprising decision to make so soon after the arrival of their twins. Having the babies born healthy and happy was a dream come true, so it's strange that they might have to spend some time apart at this stage. No one can quite believe it, but it’s clear they’re making the right decision for all the right reasons." The couple have been married for 12 years and have a son, James Wilkie, 6. Their twin girls were recently born to a surrogate mother.
