****Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker says children can ‘distract’ from a relationship.

The actress – who has three kids, James (9), and two-year-old twins, oarion and Tabitha, with husband Matthew Broderick – admits marriages can suffer once a child comes along and it’s important to make time for each other.

“Kids can really distract you from your relationship. Maybe in good ways and bad ways. It’s important to have all eyes on all parts of the relationship.” She says.

“It’s something you really have to pay attention to. But you figure it out.”

Sarah and Matthew have been together for 20 years and the New Year’s Eve star admits they’ve had their ups and downs.

“We’ve been together for 20 years and you have good days, you have decent days, and you have bad days. That’s a marriage. That’s a relationship. That’s a friendship, even relationships outside the marriage run the same course. If you’re in it for the long haul and you want meaningful relationships you are going to go through lots of different periods.” She says.
