Parker shares James with husband Matthew Broderick. The couple are also parents to twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell, 11.
In 2018, the shoe designer told PEOPLE she's very proud of the people her children are growing up to be, revealing that her son in particular has "this great friend group."
"Sometimes I just sit on the stairs because they’re all in the kitchen, eating all the food, and I listen," she shared. "And I’m so charmed by their conversation. I’m so happy with the young man he’s becoming."
Parker also revealed that she has started saving sentimental items from her life to pass onto her kids.
"I think, 'Oh, I hope James Wilkie finds someone special to give this to' — a necklace my husband gave [me], or my books. Or my letters from people that are special or important," she explained. "I think those are the things I think more so about them receiving in some way."
As for her legendary wardrobe, Parker said she has set aside some pieces for when her children when are older.

"I expect that at some point I will give them my shoes and my concern is that they’re gonna be taller than me and they’re gonna fit the shoes at the wrong time," Parker shared. "They'll do with them what they want — they can give them away, share them with friends, sell them, have a stoop sale, whatever they want."
"I think things that I saved are obviously sentimental professionally or personally and they can do duke it out and figure that out."
