New details about Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Brodericks surrogate

There’s some interesting backstory to yesterday’s announcement that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were expecting twin girls from a surrogate. Apparently, Star Magazine was set to break the story today, with added details about the surrogate mother. Star was also the tabloid to “break the story” several months ago that Matthew was cheating on Sarah Jessica with a very young youth counselor. Some sources seem to think that when SJP learned that Star Magazine was going to break the story, she and Matthew decided to release the story quickly, to “scoop” Star.

The details from Star’s story are interesting: the surrogate mother is a 26-year-old divorcee, and she will be giving birth in SJP’s home state of Ohio. Star is also reporting that SJP and Broderick have paid out “tens of thousands of dollars” to the surrogate mother. Radar Online has the behind-the-scenes version of what happened:

Sarah Jessica Parker wants the world to know she’s having twin daughters via a surrogate mother. She released a statement … because she’s so happy that she simply couldn’t hold back from sharing the news!

Well, not quite.

The reason Parker released a statement was because Star magazine is breaking the story with exclusive details in the issue that goes on sale Wednesday. When Star called Parker’s representatives for comments, the “Sex & The City” star decided she’d rather announce it than let Star have its scoop.

Tsk, tsk. Is this some sort of retribution toward Star for their exclusive that husband Mathew Broderick had been caught cheating on Parker a little while ago? No! Couldn’t be!

Anywho, Parker’s reps released this statement: “Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed.”

But RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the new issue of Star magazine will report the surrogate mother is a 26-year-old divorcee and is nearly seven months pregnant.

Star says the woman was paid “tens of thousands” of dollars to carry the babies and they will be born in Parker’s home state of Ohio.

The couple, who have a son James, 6, decided to take the surrogate route last year, just weeks after Star broke the news that Matthew had been cheating with a 21-years-younger redheaded youth counselor.

If SJP and Broderick were able to get one over on Star, more power to them. The surrogacy thing is their business, and they can announce it any way they like. It makes me uncomfortable to think of the surrogate’s privacy being breeched, though. But perhaps she was the one to leak the information – probably not, though. I bet SJP and Broderick have an actual legal contract with this woman, and part of the contract is a confidentiality agreement. And they’re paying her handsomely for her silence… and for the babies, of course.
