Nicolas Cage, 61, has spoken out about his ill-fated romance with Sarah Jessica Parker, 60, and why it didn’t work out. His comments came a day after the Sex and the City actress revealed on Watch What Happens Live that the pair dated around the time the filmed the movie Honeymoon in Vegas. Cage told E! News he ultimately didn’t pass the “mom test.” “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,” Cage said. Parker is known to be very close to her mother, Barbra Forste. The actress started dating husband Matthew Broderick soon after things ended with Cage. The pair went on to have three children, 22-year-old son, James, and twins Tabitha and Marion, 16. Cage ended up getting married five times, including to Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley. He has been married to Riko Shabata since 2021. The couple welcomed their daughter August in 2022.
