Sarah Jessica Parker is finally clearing the air on a long-standing Hollywood rumor — yes, she once dated Nicolas Cage.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, July 13, the And Just Like That star confirmed to host Andy Cohen that she and the Oscar-winning actor had a brief fling while filming the 1992 romantic comedy Honeymoon in Vegas.
When Cohen asked directly if she dated Cage, Sarah Jessica simply responded:
“Um, yes I did.”
That admission sent the studio into gasps, with Andy Cohen exclaiming, “Oh wow. We’ve got some talking to do!”
Before Matthew, There Was Nicolas
Their short-lived romance came before Parker met her now-husband, Matthew Broderick, in 1991. The couple went on to marry in 1997 and are now parents to James (22) and 16-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.
Private Love, Lasting Marriage
Later in the interview, Parker also revealed that she was the one to first say “I love you” in her relationship with Broderick — a sweet confession from the famously private star.
While she didn’t elaborate much on her past with Cage, Parker did recently open up about the secret to her long-lasting marriage. Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she attributed the couple’s success to staying grounded and avoiding the Hollywood spotlight.
“Probably that I don’t talk about it! It really is a secret,” she said.
“But maybe it’s because we’re not a Hollywood couple. We live in New York – maybe that’s good.”
A Look Back at Parker’s Dating History
Before finding lasting love with Broderick, Parker dated several notable names including Robert Downey Jr., Michael J. Fox, and Chris Penn. But her revelation about Nicolas Cage adds another surprising chapter to her star-studded romantic history.
Now 60, Parker remains a beloved figure both onscreen and off — and it seems her past is just as fascinating as the fictional romances of Carrie Bradshaw.
