Eric Roberts has confirmed that he missed his daughter’s wedding in Idaho.
Eric Roberts will “always” love his daughter Emma Roberts — despite not attending her wedding.
The 35-year-old star and Cody John recently tied the knot in Idaho, and Eric has expressed his love for his daughter, even though he didn’t attend the ceremony.
Speaking to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column, Eric said: “I love my daughter, always have, always will. It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants.”
Emma and Cody, 36, tied the knot in an outdoor wedding over the weekend. And even though Eric wasn’t in attendance, other family members were, including Hollywood star Julia Roberts, Emma’s aunt.
Julia, 58, was joined at the ceremony by her husband Danny Moder.
Eric previously reflected on his relationship with Emma, and suggested that the public had misunderstood their dynamic.
The actor told Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson in April: “It’s only complicated through outside eyes, because they don’t get any of it. So, they have their own take, whatever that is.”
Eric also spoke out in support of his daughter, and all she’s achieved in her own career.
He said: “I’m so proud of my kid.”
Emma has already achieved huge success in her career, starring in movies such as Palo Alto, Valentine’s Day and We’re the Millers.
But the actress previously claimed that the public underestimates the challenges faced by so-called nepo babies.
The Hollywood star said on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast: “People kind of only see your wins because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie. They don’t see all the rejection along the way.
“That’s why I’m always very open about things I’ve auditioned for and haven’t gotten the part for.
“I think it’s important to talk about – otherwise people just think everything’s been so great and linear and easy, and no, it’s not at all. But of course it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye.”
Emma suggested that having family ties to Hollywood can be a double-edged sword.
She said: “I think there’s two sides of the coin. People like to say, you know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry.
“But then the other side to that is you have to prove yourself more.
“Also, if people don’t have good experiences with other people in your family, then you’ll never get a chance.”
