Emma Roberts' Dad Eric Roberts Addresses Their "Loss of Relationship"

As an ardent fan of Eric Roberts, it’s heartening to witness his introspective journey and the maturity he displays in discussing his family dynamics. His experiences serve as a poignant reminder that the bonds we share with our loved ones are precious and complex, often shaped by misunderstandings and human frailties.


Eric Roberts is shedding light on his family dynamics.

Following an apology to his sister who goes by Julia Roberts regarding their lengthy rift, the actor spoke about his relationship with daughter Emma Roberts when queried about the most challenging phase in his life.

On the October 22nd episode of the “Inside of You” podcast, the Dancing With the Stars contestant expressed that it appears he’s lost his relationship with his daughter. He said there’s a lingering sadness due to what seems like ongoing misunderstandings between them, as humans are prone to.

In 1991, the actor who played The Pope of Greenwich Village star welcomed Emma (now aged 33) along with his former partner Kelly Cunningham. A year later, he tied the knot with Eliza Roberts. Struggling with addiction, he tragically lost custody of his daughter, which he referred to as the “most significant consequence” of his drug use in his memoir titled Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far.

Since 1995, Eric has maintained sobriety. Recently, he has gained a fresh outlook on his feelings about Emma, who is the mother of their 3-year-old son Rhodes Robert Hedlund, with his ex Garrett Hedlund.

The actor admitted, during a podcast interview, that he came to terms with certain aspects of himself upon the arrival of his grandchildren, including his eldest granddaughter who bears a resemblance to Emma.

“And so,” he explained, “it reminds me of what I didn’t have.”

Additionally, he caused more tension in their bond by boasting about his family’s Hollywood achievements in a 2018 interview with Vanity Fair, for which he later expressed regret and issued an apology.

In his writing, it was stated by People that he expressed his hope that Julia would forgive his foolish statement, which he now publicly regrets.
