Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are the proud parents of twin girls delivered by a surrogate mother, a publicist said Tuesday.

The girls were born Monday afternoon at an Ohio hospital, publicist Simon Halls said. Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds and 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds.

Parker had complained last month that the surrogate's telephone and computer had been hacked into, and that the woman had received threats. Authorities are also investigating whether two Ohio police chiefs burglarized the surrogate's home in the eastern Ohio town of Martins Ferry so they could sell photos and information to a tabloid.
