"Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick have received The Ireland Funds Performing Arts Award at the organization's 46th annual New York Gala.
Parker and Broderick were honored for their "passionate support of Irish arts and culture" at the gala event, which took place in front of around 600 people on Thursday,
The pair, who married in 1997, are regular visitors to Ireland and have a holiday home in County Donegal.
Parker and Broderick reportedly spend their summers in Donegal along with their 21-year-old son James and their 14-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.
Earlier in the week, Parker congratulated Irish radio station RTÉ lyric fm for reaching 25 years on the air.
"Happy 25th birthday to @rtelyricfm !!!!" Parker said in a post on Instagram. "To Evelyn Grant and all the great hosts at Lyric, we are very fortunate to have you filling our days with beautiful music.
"Here’s to the next 25 musical years."
