As for Sarah Jessica Parker, she’s had her share of A-list celebrity dates like Robert Downey Jr. and John F. Kennedy Jr. But the real deal for her was with Matthew Broderick, whom she met at the Naked Angels theater company where the two performed.

Parker confirmed that the two had a brief romance after making ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’—and Cage has given his version of why they broke up.

Nicolas Cage has a pretty good idea as to why his relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker didn’t last long. The Longlegs actor, 61, admitted that he likely bombed his first impression when he met the Sex and the City star’s mother in the late ‘90s, in a statement to E! News on Monday, July 14.
