Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick have become parents to twin daughters, delivered by a surrogate mother.

The girls, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, were born in an Ohio hospital on Monday.

"The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon," their publicist said in a statement.

Parker is expected to begin shooting a sequel to the Sex and the City movie later this year.

She plays Carrie Bradshaw in the long-running TV comedy drama and its big screen spin-off, which made $415m (£250m) at the box office when it was released last year.

Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, best known for playing the lead role in comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off, already have a six-year-old son.
