Eric Roberts Details How ‘Loss of Relationship’ with Daughter Emma Roberts Affected Him; ‘There’s Not a Pain, There’s…’

As a dedicated follower of Eric Roberts‘ life and career, I can’t help but feel deeply moved by his heartfelt reflections on his relationship with his daughter, Emma. His words resonate with a poignant sense of loss and longing that transcends the boundaries of celebrity. It’s a testament to the complexities of human relationships, especially those between parents and children.


Eric Roberts shared memories of the most challenging period he experienced in life. As an Academy Award-nominated actor, he reminisced about his special connection with his daughter, Emma Roberts, and spoke candidly about the dissolution of his romantic involvement with her.

On the Inside of You podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum, Roberts discussed a challenging phase in his life. He expressed that it was after the arrival of his grandchild, who bears a striking resemblance to the actress, that he truly understood the depth of what he had missed.

In the challenging period of his life, Robert confided in the podcast host, “I believe it was the estrangement from my daughter.” He further explained, “It’s not an ache; it’s a lingering sadness because I fear that the misunderstanding between us may never be resolved, as we are all human.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’d say it’s important to share personal growth experiences, and here’s one of mine: The arrival of my granddaughter marked a significant turning point in my relationship dynamics. I came to embrace certain aspects of myself more fully with the birth of my grandchildren. This realization was a profound moment for me, and I believe it can serve as an inspiring reminder for others about the transformative power of family milestones.

He further explained, “The five-year-old girl was special to me. She showed affection towards me at around two or two-and-a-half years old, and the bond grew extremely strong. Interestingly, she called my wife ‘Famma.’ We are all quite close, and she resembles Emma in terms of appearance. This reminds me of a relationship I missed out on.

In his recently published memoir titled “Runway Train: Or the Story of My Life so Far,” the actor opened up about his relationship with his daughter. He professed a deep affection for her, yet admitted to having personal flaws as well.

In his autobiography, the well-known actor admitted he struggled with the stress of fatherhood during Emma’s youth. As Emma has become a mother herself, he now understands the aspects of life he had overlooked before.

In his book, Roberts goes on to say that following their separation, Christian Bale, known for his role as The Dark Knight, did not make an effort to claim sole custody of his daughter. According to the memoir excerpts, Bale expressed he never felt deserving of having physical custody of Emma, not even in a million years.

In a past podcast episode, Eric Roberts shared that he’s been keeping abreast of his daughter’s projects and feels incredibly proud of her accomplishments.

Emma Roberts last appeared in the Prime Video original film, Space Cadet.
