CELEBRITY REHAB ALUMNI –
Sept. 18, 2024 – The Runaway Train alum got candid about how his longtime battle with cocaine addiction impacted his relationship with his 33-year-old daughter Emma Roberts, who he shares with ex Kelly Cunningham. “Of course, the biggest consequence of my drug use was losing Emma.”
“I imagine I will remain as Julia’s brother and Emma Roberts’ dad for the rest of my life,” he continued. “I’d like to make good on that, to move aside proudly and with grace. That’s part of the reason for writing the book.”
And while Eric—who got sober in 1995 after attending court-ordered rehab for 18 months—confessed that his relationship with his daughter has faced some challenges, the Dancing With the Stars contestant couldn’t be more proud of Emma’s acting achievements, which include starring roles on shows Scream Queens and American Horror Story, as well as in films We’re the Millers, Madame Web and Holidate.
