SARAH Jessica Parker‘s marriage to Matthew Broderick is back on track — thanks to American pop artist John Wesley.

84-year-old Wesley dated Matthew’s mother, Patricia, for six years before she died in 2003. And while Matthew and John were never particularly close during Patricia’s life, they’ve bonded over their shared loss since her death.

Sources say Matthew, 51, now sees John as a father figure and is grateful for the way he cared for Patricia at the end of her life. To show his appreciation, he and wife Sarah Jessica, 48, are helping to support John financially.

“Matthew and Sarah Jessica feel he’s an important addition to the family and a brilliant grandfather figure to their kids,” said the source.

“The children adore him and love helping him paint. John doesn’t have any family of his own, so he fits right into the Broderick clan. But it’s the perspective John has given the couple about what really matters in life that has helped heal their troubled union.

“Matthew’s fallen in love with Sarah Jessica all over again.

“This situation with John has brought home how important it is to have a loving and caring partner in life. He’s given them a new appreciation for the 20 years they’ve been together.”
