Sarah Jessica Parker finally confirms she dated major Hollywood star after decades of rumours

More than 20 years after setting tongues wagging, Sarah Jessica Parker has confirmed she dated Nicolas Cage.

The Sex and the City icon, 60, and the Longlegs star, 61, met when filming the 1992 rom-com Honeymoon in Vegas, with filming taking place the year prior.

Parker met her now husband, Matthew Broderick, in 1991 after being introduced by her two brothers, with the pair marrying in 1997.

Meanwhile, Cage married his first wife, Patricia Arquette, in 1995 before the couple divorced in 2001.

Decades of rumours have followed Parker and Cage, with the former finally confirming they were in a relationship at some point during an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

The host asked about Cage after discussing how she knew her husband was ‘the one.’

‘Um, yes I did [date him],’ she confirmed, which seemed to shock Cohen, who also happened to be one of her longtime friends.

‘Oh wow. We’ve got some talking to do,’ he said of the revelation.

Following his divorce from Severance star Arquette, Cage went on to marry Lisa Marie Presley in 2002, before splitting just 107 days after tying the knot.

Cage and his third wife, Alice Kim, wed in 2004 and split in 2016, and he married Erika Koike three years later.

The actor filed for an annulment from Koike four days later, and was granted a divorce after three months.

In 2021, Cage married his current wife, Riko Shibata, welcoming their daughter, August, a year later.

He also shares Weston, 34, with actor Christina Fulton, and Kal-El, 19, with Kim.

Parker and Broderick have welcomed three children – James, 22, and twins Tabitha and Marion, 13.

The Hocus Pocus actor had a series of high-profile relationships before settling down with Broderick, including with Footloose co-star Chris Penn.

She also dated Robert Downey Jr after the pair met on the set of the 1984 film Firstborn.

Soon after splitting from the Iron Man star in 1991, she was linked to John F Kennedy Jr for six months.

Of this relationship, she previously said the overwhelming media attention around the pair led to their breakup.
