Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric explain how they reconciled after Julia Roberts love triangle
On June 14, 1991, America’s biggest female movie star was set to walk down with her informal man, Kiefer Sutherland, in a luxury ceremony on the 20th Century Fox lot. But destiny in the form of a similar, best friend, Jason Patric acts as a peacemaker. As People reported in a blockbuster story, Roberts ran off with Patric hours before the wedding and hang across the pond to Ireland.
In the days after his fiancée and his best friend skipped town together, Sutherland reportedly raged about his buddy’s betrayal. “When I get hold of Jason, I am going to tear him part to part,” “That snake pretended to be my best friend, and all the time he was really after my girl.’’ He said this is against a rumor.
It was the first time after this scandal both are ready to talk about it at the same place but when the host firstly asks a question about this issue, they both ignore it but, in the end. They decide to talk about it. While both Sutherland and Patric have discussed the 30-year-old scandal in separate interviews over the decades, this is the first time they’ve addressed it while sitting side-by-side.
After the host question, the friends initially they look mindless as they coordinated a response about how they reconciled. “We hadn’t seen each other for over 20 years,” Patric said “I don’t know if it was that long.” After agreeing that their huddle happened sometime in the mid-2000s, Sutherland said that they talked out what happened on that stressful day in 1991, which, according to People, began when Roberts and Patric met for a turkey burger lunch. By that evening, they were bound for the U.K., and Sutherland was left along with a four-tier wedding cake.
“The truth was, you fall in love, you fall in love,” Sutherland continues. “There’s nothing you can do about that. [Julia’s] an extraordinary person, and he is too. Timing is what it is, and everyone moves on from that.” it may have started dramatically, Roberts and Patric’s romance burned out quickly, in part because of the non-stop press attention. The two splits in 1992, and Roberts married singer Lyle Lovett the following year. (She’s currently married to photographer Danny Moder, who she met on the set of The Mexican in 2000.) Sutherland, meanwhile, married his second wife, Elizabeth Kelly Winn, in 1996 (they separated in 1999 and finalized their divorce in 2008), and announced his engagement to Cindy Vela in 2017. And Patric had a decade-long relationship with Danielle Schreibe from 2002 to 2012 that ended in a public custody battle over their son.
