Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker admits she's given up on idea of Irish citizenship

Sex and the City actress, and Donegal holiday homeowner, Sarah Jessica Parker said she has “given up” on the idea of becoming a citizen of Ireland.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who, along with her husband, Matthew Broderick, has a holiday home in Kilcar and travels to Ireland regularly, such as when they celebrated the 2024 new year. 

Comparing herself to fellow American, Rosie O’Donnell, who says she is applying for Irish citizenship, Jessica Parker told the Sunday Independent that Irish citizenship was not for her.

“We’re not in the same position,” said Jessica Parker. “Neither myself nor my husband has a relative that would allow permanent residency.

“We do feel enormously privileged to be able visit the country as much as possible, however, which of late has just worked out - our kids’ school schedule and our own work schedule has allowed us to be in Ireland a lot.

“So we’ve given up on the idea of being able to call ourselves Irish citizens. But it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect our love of the country and our time spent there.”
