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."
