"Oh, the first time I met her. I saw her walking down the street and thought 'That's it,'" the American actor stated as he revealed the moment he saw Parker for the first time and knew that she was the one. "You know, speaking of how talented my wife is, I should also say that getting to do this play, even though we only just did it in Boston for a little while ... she was so, so good in it," he said as he went on to count the qualities he adores in his wife.

"I really had never acted with her onstage and hadn't really acted with her at all. And I was just reminded of how funny and smart and what a great comic actor she is — or actor, never mind the comic part," Broderick shared commenting on his wife’s acting skills and her ability to make everyone around have a hearty laugh. "She's very good at it. So I hope everybody gets to see her do it," Broderick added jokingly. The interviewer went on to ask The Night We Never Met actor what was the most thoughtful gift he ever got gifted from Parker.

To this, the actor replied, “A trip once. A surprise, blindfolded and suddenly I was in the Caribbean.” To which the interviewer replied saying, “Oh Wow!” The actor also shared that for him the favorite kind of date with Parker would be a plain dinner night, chatting and eating together in each other’s company. The couple has been married for 22 years, so one might assume that the attraction has waned a little, but they still find ways to make things interesting, such as going on date evenings.
