Nicolas Cage has also confirmed the brief romance and shared his version of why it may have ended as suddenly as it began.

The Oscar-winning actor told E! News that meeting Sarah Jessica Parker’s mother might have changed things. “I cared about Sarah, but I don’t think I passed the ‘mom test,’” Cage said.

He added, “I recall sitting down with her and her mother for dinner at the Russian Tea Room, and I don’t know if it was my blue Vanson Leather motorcycle jacket (which I still have) or my sinusitis, but I didn’t hear from her again.”

During the same interview, Sarah Jessica Parker reflected on the early days of her relationship with now-husband Matthew Broderick, whom she began dating in 1992, the same year 'Honeymoon in Vegas' was released.

“I remember I had to leave to go on location to shoot a movie, and we were on East 10th Street,” Parker shared. “I was getting in a car to go away for a while. I remember thinking, I think I love him. Should I say it? Because neither one of us had said it yet.” She added, “I did say it first.”

Parker and Broderick married in 1997 and have three children: son James, 22, and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, 16.

Nicolas Cage, meanwhile, married Riko Shibata in 2021. He is a father to daughter August, 2, with Shibata, and sons Weston, 34, and Kal-El, 19, from previous relationships with Christina Fulton and Alice Kim.
