Matthew Enjoys Downtime
Sarah Jessica Parker's husband, Matthew Broderick, is said to prefer quiet summers in the Hamptons after decades on Broadway.
"He's a workhorse, but he treasures his downtime and his lazy summers on the beach, even more so as he gets older," said a source. "When it comes to his theater acting, he has nothing left to prove. A quiet retirement at their family's cottage in the Hamptons is something he's waited decades for.
"But Sarah Jessica is a totally different animal, and she loves getting knee-deep in complicated, multiyear projects."

Time Apart To Work On Projects

But Parker has been one busy gal with Sex and the City's original run, two series-based movies and the sequel And Just Like That, which ended in August after three seasons. Insiders do not expect her to slow down and plop into a Hamptons beach chair.
"She isn't done with television and there's still a lot she hasn't tried, like a gritty, dramatic miniseries or an ensemble role in a drama or thriller," said the source.
"That's why they're keeping a big footprint in New York City. As a couple, they've just gotten used to the time apart that comes with having beautiful homes in the city and the country, even though that can take a toll in the long term.

"New York City is still the place where they've enjoyed their biggest professional victories."
"Sarah Jessica loves the lazy, breezy Hamptons lifestyle, too, but she's nowhere close to making that a year-round thing. She's most comfortable when she's spinning a lot of plates at the same time.
"Even with AJLT closing up shop, her approach to her life and business isn't going to change one bit."
