Actor Eric Roberts has spoken publicly about missing his daughter Emma Roberts’ wedding to actor Cody John, sharing a message of love and support despite his absence from the ceremony.
Eric confirmed that he was not present at the wedding after being seen in Los Angeles on the same day as the private celebration.
“I love my daughter, always have, always will,” Eric said, adding that he believes Emma should celebrate her special moment however she chooses.
His representative later confirmed the statement but did not provide further details about the actor’s absence.
Emma Roberts and Cody John exchanged vows during an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony in Idaho on July 25, according to reports.
The actress, known for her work in Hollywood, wore a custom Monique Lhuillier wedding gown featuring silk chiffon details, a sheer shawl and a long veil. Cody John appeared in a brown suit for the occasion.
Emma’s five-year-old son, Rhodes, whom she shares with former partner Garrett Hedlund, played a special role by walking his mother down the aisle.
Several family members attended the wedding, including Emma’s aunt Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder. Emma’s mother Kelly Cunningham was also reportedly present at the ceremony.
Eric Roberts’ absence has drawn attention due to the long-running reports about distance between him and his daughter. However, the actor has previously spoken positively about Emma and continues to express his love for her.
With his latest comments, Eric made it clear that he respects Emma’s decisions and wants her to enjoy this important chapter of her life.
