Sarah Jessica Parker misses gala after ‘devastating family situation’

Sarah Jessica Parker, who was being honored at the New York City Ballet’s 10th Annual Fall Fashion Gala on Wednesday night, had to run out of the event last minute following a family emergency.

A source who was in attendance at the gala tells Page Six that moments after the actress arrived at the David H. Koch Theater at the Lincoln Center, she left again.

We are told that, in a bizarrely dramatic moment, they announced from the stage that she had to pull out of the event because of a “sudden devastating family situation.”

Reps for Parker did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Their 13-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, also made a rare appearance on the red carpet as they accompanied their parents.

Parker and Broderick welcomed their daughters via surrogate back in 2009 — seven years after their son, James, now 19, was born.

The couple’s three children are often kept out of the spotlight in an attempt to give them their privacy.

Broderick and Parker first met back in 1991 during their theater days before tying the knot two years later.
