Emma Roberts Ties the Knot: Father Eric Gives Cryptic Response to Missing Wedding

Actress Emma Roberts married her longtime love Cody John over the weekend in a lavish ceremony in Idaho. The star-studded guest list included many Hollywood names, but notably absent was her father, actor Eric Roberts. The father-daughter relationship has been strained for years due to Eric's struggles with addiction, so his absence didn't come as a complete surprise to fans.

When asked by PageSix about missing the wedding, Eric Roberts gave a cryptic response: "I love my daughter, always have, always will. It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants." Many interpreted this as a hint that Emma herself did not want him at the ceremony.

The rocky relationship between Emma and her father is no secret. Eric Roberts has battled drug and alcohol addiction for decades, leading to estrangement within the family. Emma has rarely discussed their connection in detail but has mentioned in past interviews that they do communicate, albeit infrequently. Missing such a major life event only underscores the ongoing distance between them.

Despite the family drama, Emma Roberts appeared overjoyed on her big day. The wedding was filled with love and happiness, with guests noting the bride was radiant. For the actress known for roles in "American Horror Story" and "Scream Queens," this is her first marriage. Her husband Cody John is an actor and producer, and the couple had been dating for several years.

Fans are divided: some support Emma's decision not to invite her father, while others believe family should come together at such moments. Emma herself has not commented on Eric's absence, focusing instead on the joy of starting a new chapter. This story once again highlights the complicated family dynamics often found in Hollywood dynasties.

Emma Roberts is also the niece of Julia Roberts, so her family has always been in the spotlight. Perhaps in time, her relationship with her father will heal, but for now, the actress clearly prefers to keep her distance. Her wedding has become one of the most talked-about events in show business this week.
