During an appearance on SiriusXM's Quarantined with Bruce in November, Broderick opened up about his relationship with Parker. When asked what the secret is, Broderick joked, "I keep reading 'communication,' and 'she's my best friend.' Uh, any cliché you want?"

"I don't know the secret at all," he admitted at the time, "but I, you know, I'm very grateful and I love her. It's amazing. I mean, I can't believe that it's been that long. It doesn't feel like it. And I can't believe my son's 18."

Speaking with PEOPLE back in 2018, Parker opened up about the couple's relationship dynamic.

"It seems so silly, but I think you're very lucky if you like the person," she said. "I still just really like him. I'm sure I annoy him and he annoys me, but I literally learn about him every day. I'm like, 'You're doing what? You're reading what?' "

"I think marriage has a lot of vitality," added Parker. "If you're fortunate, it's like this dazzling organism."
