Overview

  • On July 13, Parker confirmed on Watch What Happens Live that she briefly dated Cage during the filming of the 1992 rom-com Honeymoon in Vegas.
  • Cage told E! News that the relationship ended after he didn’t win over Parker’s mother at a Russian Tea Room dinner, calling it failing her “mom test.”
  • This marks Parker’s first public admission of the decades-old fling, contrasting with her longstanding preference for keeping personal matters private.
  • Parker began dating Matthew Broderick later in 1991, married him in 1997, and the couple now share three children.
  • Their late-night interview revelations demonstrate how long-buried Hollywood romances can resurface through talk-show confessions and entertainment press follow-ups.
