All that sex in the city comes to this: Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick are playing parents to a new baby boy.
The Parker-Broderick joint made his debut early Monday morning in Manhattan, according to the actress’ publicist, Ina Treciokas.
The rep says the child checked in at six pounds, eight ounces and measured 19 and a half inches. Mom, dad and tyke are all said to be doing well.
Treciokas, however, disputes a New York Post report that the child was named David Perkins Broderick. The Post claimed a placard placed outside the couple’s Lenox Hill Hospital room announced the moniker; Treciokas says the boy is still nameless.
According to the newspaper, the baby was born around 3 a.m., and, according to unnamed hospital sources, Parker’s labor was remarkably smooth–the baby arrived after only an hour of pushing.
The Post also says the couple came to the hospital “with two cars full of security guards in tow” and was taken to a “heavily guarded” private room on the sixth floor.
Aside from Broderick, who was in the delivery room, the Post reports, Parker’s Sex and the City (news – Y! TV) pal Cynthia Nixon (news) managed to make it past security and briefly visited the newbie parents on Monday. Nixon is also preggers and is due later this year.
This is the first baby for the 37-year-old Parker and her 40-year-old husband. The twosome celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in May.
Parker is facing a few months of diaper duty before resuming her Sex and the City chores. The show’s fifth season was split in two after producers decided not to incorporate Parker’s surprise pregnancy in the plot, with the second portion to begin shooting in February.
Broderick, late of Broadway’s The Producers, will next be seen in the ABC TV movie version of the classic musical The Music Man, slated for a February sweeps airdate.
