Sat directly behind Tom Hanks, the actress and her 12-year-old son, James, looked like they were having a ball, as they cheered the teams and smiled when their face appeared on the big screens.
SJP has been living the life of luxury recently, with her leaving her beloved Big Apple to celebrate husband Matthew Broderick's 53rd birthday in Turks and Caicos.

The pair were joined by their three children - James and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion.
However, it is unsure how SJP will be spending her big 5-0 today, but will no doubt celebrate with friends and family in Manhattan.
Despite always looking fabulous, the actress admitted in an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia that in real life, she's actually nothing like her super stylish alter ego, Carrie.
Actress jokes with her son, James
"I’m not an expert on women, on sex, on dating, on romance. I just played one," she confessed.
"I’m not interrogative that way; it’s not the way I talk to my friends. I have friendships that are intimate and hopefully I have a good ear for them. But I don’t know what general issues are for women."
