Eric Roberts Comments After Missing Daughter's Wedding

Eric Roberts has publicly reaffirmed his love for his daughter, actress Emma Roberts, following his absence from her wedding to longtime partner Cody John over the weekend. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in an outdoor ceremony at Cody John’s family estate in Sun Valley, Idaho.

In a statement to Page Six on July 27, the veteran actor said, "I love my daughter, always have, always will. It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants." The comment came after he was notably not in attendance at the nuptials, which were attended by other family members including Emma’s aunt, Julia Roberts, and Julia’s husband, Danny Moder.

The ceremony featured the bride in a custom Monique Lhuillier gown with an antique rose hue, a look she described to Vogue as intentionally vintage-inspired. Her five-year-old son, Rhodes, from a previous relationship with Garrett Hedlund, walked her down the aisle. The event was reportedly held along a riverbank in high temperatures, with the reception following at the same location where Emma changed into a black dress by the same designer.
