Eric Roberts<\/a> confirmed he did not attend daughter Emma Robert\u2019<\/a>s wedding<\/a> to actor Cody John<\/a> on Saturday, despite the ceremony being an A-list family affair. <\/p>\n

The 70-year-old Dark Knight star said he \u201cloves\u201d his daughter. He, however, skipped the nuptials<\/a> that famous sister Julia Roberts<\/a> even attended. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love my daughter, always have, always will,\u201d said the Oscar<\/a> nominee as he addressed his absence in a statement to Page Six<\/a> on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants,\u00a0with whomever she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day after Emma and Cody said \u2018I do\u2019 in their intimate Idaho wedding, Eric was spotted over 1,000 kilometres away from where his famous daughter tied the knot. <\/p>\n

Instead, the Runaway Train actor was photographed leaving a Los Angeles-based gym. <\/p>\n

Emma and Cody tied the knot in a romantic ceremony, witnessed by their close family and friend at the groom\u2019s family estate, after four years of dating. <\/p>\n

Eric\u2019s 35-year-old daughter Emma, famous for her roles in American Horror Story, We\u2019re the Millers and Scream 4, absolutely glowed as a bride, wearing a custom, vintage-inspired Monique Lhuillier gown. <\/p>\n

The actress walked down the aisle with her five-year-old son Rhodes, who she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund.<\/p>\n

Several Hollywood<\/a> friends witnessed the wonderful ceremony including Demi Moore<\/a>, Kristen Stewart<\/a> and her partner, Dylan Eyer<\/a>, co-star Sarah Paulson, Ashley Benson and more. <\/p>\n

Eric did not provide a reason for his absence. He welcomed Emma in 1991 with actor and ex Kelly Cunningham<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson podcast in April, the Golden Globe nominee said his relationship with his daughter looked \u201ccomplicated through outside eyes\u201d. He, however, claimed they were not estranged. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eric Roberts confirmed he did not attend daughter Emma Robert\u2019s wedding to actor Cody John on Saturday, despite…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-828394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
