Sarah Jessica Parker during her July 13, 2025, appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen confirmed her short-lived romance with Honeymoon in Vegas co-star Nicolas Cage. Blogger and columnist Perez Hilton reacted to the news in a July 16, 2025, YouTube video.
On Wednesday, Hilton took to his YouTube channel and shared his thoughts on Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicolas Cage as a couple.
“I could see the two of them together. She had her happy ending, and he got his too, though, so all good. He is also happily married and the father of several children. So, congrats to him,” he said.
Notably, the media personality mentioned in his video that the two actors were rumored to be in a relationship back in the early ’90s. However, it was never confirmed until Parker discussed it on Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen, who is also her close friend.
During the segment, Cohen asked Parker how she knew that her husband, Matthew Broderick, whom she married in 1997, was “the one.” After the Hocus Pocus actress recollected the moment she knew that she loved her now-husband, Cohen asked her if she had ever dated Cage. Parker revealed that they did with a “Yes, I did.”
Hilton commented further on this revelation in his YouTube video.
“She didn’t spill any more tea. She kissed, but she didn’t really tell. She just confirmed... I love it when [older folks] participate, ’cause yes, SJP and Nick are both in their 60s,” he said.
