In a jaw-dropping moment that has Hollywood buzzing, Sex and the City icon Sarah Jessica Parker dropped a bombshell on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. The beloved actress, known for her charm and discretion, finally opened up about a long-buried romantic secret from her past, leaving fans—and possibly her husband, Matthew Broderick—reeling!
While reminiscing about the moment she knew Matthew Broderick, her husband since 1997, was “the one,” host Andy Cohen slyly steered the conversation to a juicy rumor from decades ago. With a twinkle in his eye, he asked SJP about whispers of a romance with none other than National Treasure star Nicolas Cage, her co-star in the 1992 romcom Honeymoon in Vegas. The question caught the 60-year-old star off guard, and after a brief pause, she confirmed the speculation with a candid, “Um, yes I did. Yes, I did.”
Cue the gasps! For years, fans speculated about a fling between SJP and Cage, sparked by their on-screen chemistry as a couple in the romantic comedy. But this is the first time Sarah has publicly acknowledged the “showmance” that blossomed during filming. And the timing? Oh, it’s scandalously close. Honeymoon in Vegas wrapped production in November 1991—the exact month Sarah was introduced to Matthew Broderick, the man who would become her lifelong partner. Talk about a whirlwind!
Andy Cohen, never one to let a bombshell slide, couldn’t hide his excitement, exclaiming, “Oh, wow. Oh, we got some talking to do!” The revelation was a rare peek into Sarah’s private life, as she’s famously tight-lipped about her romantic past. The brief romance with Cage, it seems, was a fleeting moment before she fell head over heels for Broderick, whom she married six years later. But the confirmation after three decades of silence? That’s the kind of tea that keeps Watch What Happens Live audiences coming back for more!
While Sarah has been happily married to Broderick for over 27 years, one can’t help but wonder how the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off star feels about this unearthed tidbit. Meanwhile, Nicolas Cage, who’s tied the knot five times since the early ‘90s, seems to have moved on swiftly from his Honeymoon in Vegas leading lady. Still, the fact that both stars kept this fling under wraps for so long only adds to the intrigue.
This deliciously juicy moment proves that even after all these years, Hollywood still has secrets to spill—and Sarah Jessica Parker just poured a steaming cup of tea that’s got everyone talking!
