In 1992, Eric and Eliza Roberts were married. The key to Eric Roberts’ three-decade marriage has been revealed. In an interview with PEOPLE magazine before a special screening of A24’s new film Eternity at AMC Century City, the 69-year-old actor talked about his relationship with partner Eliza Roberts, citing “honesty and intimacy” as the reasons for their strength both on and off screen. Speaking with his wife, who was also present, Eric thought back to their 1992 romance. Julia Roberts’ brother Eric, who was nominated for an Oscar for Runaway Train, made a joke about how long he and Eliza had been together: “It’s been 62 years.”
Eliza laughed and said, “Oh Eric, stop.” It has been over thirty years since 1992, and Hollywood is insane. Eric revealed the key to their long-lasting relationship: “It’s called honesty.” It has no meaning because the word is overused. But it’s difficult to be honest. Sincerity and closeness. You have both of them. However, you must have both of them. Eliza, who oversees her husband’s acting profession, claimed to have collaborated with him “since the beginning” of their partnership. “Since I’m in the business anyway, it just felt like doing it in house was smart,” she continued. “It’s been unbelievable,” Eric continued. I adore my supervisor.
“Listening, respect, and then making sure someone kind of has the final-ish word, which is me,” Eliza said, outlining the secret to striking a balance between their personal and professional life.
