In a recent revelation on “Watch What Happens Live,” Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed the long-standing rumor that she once dated actor Nicolas Cage. This acknowledgment came during an episode aired on July 13, where the actress was directly asked about her past relationship with Cage, to which she responded affirmatively, saying, “Um, yes I did.”
Following Parker’s confirmation, Cage, who is known for his role in “Face/Off,” shared his own thoughts on their brief romance. He expressed that he cared for Parker but felt he didn’t quite pass the “mom test” after meeting her mother. Cage recounted a dinner date at the Russian Tea Room, humorously speculating whether his leather motorcycle jacket or a bout of sinusitis might have influenced her decision to not pursue the relationship further.
Parker and Cage starred together in the 1992 film “Honeymoon in Vegas,” where their on-screen chemistry likely contributed to the personal connection. While Parker did not disclose the exact timeline of their relationship, it is believed that it occurred before she began dating her now-husband, Matthew Broderick, in 1992.
Reflecting on her relationship with Broderick, Parker shared how she realized he was “the One” shortly after they met. She vividly recalled the moment she first expressed her love for him just before departing for a work project, a significant point in their romance that culminated in marriage in May 1997. The couple has since welcomed three children: son James, 22, and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, 13.
Parker highlighted the ups and downs that come with any long-term relationship, emphasizing the importance of commitment and the varying phases that couples experience together. “If you’re in it for the long haul, and you want meaningful relationships, you are going to go through lots of different periods,” she noted.
This newfound insight into Parker’s past adds a layer of intrigue to her history with Cage while reminding fans of the enduring affection and complexity found in long-term partnerships. The story showcases not only the light-hearted aspects of Hollywood romances but also the profound connections that can develop over time.
