All about Kelly Cunningham, whose ex, Eric Roberts, skipped their daughter Emma’s wedding
Why Julia Roberts’ actor brother did not attend his daughter’s wedding, and his complex relationship with the American Horror Story star and her mum
“I love my daughter, always have, always will. It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants,” Eric Roberts said to Page Six just a few days after missing the wedding.
In a past appearance on the Inside of You podcast, the actor confessed that losing Emma represented the “toughest time” in his life, a chapter he elaborates on in his memoir, Runaway Train: Or, the Story of My Life So Far.
“I had abandoned Kelly [Cunningham, Emma’s mother] when Emma was just seven months old,” Roberts writes in his memoir, admitting that he “couldn’t handle the realities of an infant coming into my life, and I couldn’t handle being a parent!” The actor previously revealed that his daughter “told [him] not to talk about her” but shared in his book that she gave him permission to interact with her on social media. He has also spoken about her in several interviews, saying he is proud of her.
She was with Eric Roberts for over three years
