James is a college student, starting his freshman year at Brown University in September of last year. His younger sisters, for their part, began the seventh grade in 2021.

“The house is different. We are different,” Parker told her Instagram followers of the transition. “They need us more. And far less. So many know.”

The “And Just Like That” star noted that while she was “gutted at the time … passing,” she was also “exhilarated by the possibilities that await” her children.

Three months later, James made a rare public appearance while accompanying his mom at the premiere of her HBO Max show.

The teenager smiled in a black suit while posing for red carpet pics with Parker and Broderick, 60.

The following year, Marion and Tabitha made headlines for joining the couple at the “Hocus Pocus 2” premiere.
