When the Emmy award-winning actress first became a mother, she had just become famous for her leading role in "Sex and the City." However, her hectic acting career didn't stop her from being dedicated to her family. The actors welcomed their twins via surrogate. Sarah was 37 years old when she had her first child and experienced difficulty having more children.

The "Sex and the City" star opened up about her fertility journey in the past, and said that she had only given birth once, but would give birth as often as possible if she could. She also mentioned that she and James tried to have more kids before eventually deciding to take the surrogacy route.

The surrogate mother was Michelle Ross, and reporters and paparazzi reportedly hounded her. This eventually caused Sarah to fear for Michelle's health and said it kept her "up every night."

Sarah Jessica Parker about Her Kids

Sarah Jessica Parker told Entertainment Tonight that she wants her kids to see her enjoying her work. The "Divorce" actress further said:

"...What I like to share with them is being curious has rewards and they don’t come immediately... But what I want to tell them is curiosity is the gateway to all sorts of things you might never have imagined."

The mother of three also expressed her fears of her kids, especially her twins, plotting against her when they hit adolescence. She said they might collude "at the most difficult time."

The one thing the actress credits her kids for is how they helped her to learn to love wine. Sarah Jessica Parker spoke about the joys and stressors of being a mother. She said she loves having "a glass of wine at night" as the kids get older.
