Romantic mother Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker says having a child has made her more romantic.

The 43-year-old actress - who reprises her role as Carrie Bradshaw in 'Sex and the City: The Movie' - insists having son James with husband Matthew Broderick made their relationship better.

She said: "I surprise Matthew all the time with stuff. I buy him presents and leave him notes. And having a child makes a marriage much more romantic because you have this thing in common that you love in a new way."

Parker believes it is the small things that she and Matthew do for one another that makes their marriage a success.

She added: "Some grand gestures are great, but you also have to look at life past the courtship. It's the everyday stuff that is the most critical - and the most romantic. Those gestures are lovely."
