Emma Roberts, the American actress and singer known for her roles in “American Horror Story” and “Scream Queens,” has officially announced her engagement to actor Cody John. The couple shared their happy news on Instagram, where Roberts posted a photo of the two together, showcasing her engagement ring.
In a lighthearted nod to her mother, Kelly Cunningham, who has a history of posting family photos before Roberts gets a chance, the actress captioned her engagement post with, “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone.” Following this, Cunningham shared the post herself, simply writing, “congratulations.”
The engagement news sparked a wave of congratulatory messages from Roberts’ celebrity friends. Lea Michele, Roberts’ co-star, commented enthusiastically, “Already planning the bachelorette!!!! So happy for you babe!!!” Aly Michalka also chimed in, saying, “Hahahaha oh man do I relate to this. Congrats Em!!!”
This engagement marks the first marriage for both Roberts and John. Roberts has a three-year-old son with her ex-boyfriend Garrett Hedlund. Despite past misunderstandings, such as when Cunningham shared a photo of Roberts’ son without her permission, Roberts has expressed there are no hard feelings. She humorously addressed the situation on Instagram, writing, “When your mom posts your [son’s] face without asking but you love them both so whatever.”
Roberts and John have been dating since 2022, with their relationship first going public when John, known for his role in “Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” posted a photo of them kissing, captioned, “sweet-sweet.” The couple then made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a series of photos together.
Roberts has always been private about her relationships. In a 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan, she mentioned, “I never want to talk about relationships I’m in or that are ending or have ended. It’s hard enough to be with someone by yourself, let alone with an audience.” Her uncle, Eric Roberts, also commented on her desire for privacy, stating in a podcast, “I love my sister, but I can’t talk about her. She doesn’t wanna talk about it. My daughter also told me not to talk about her, but I stumbled and did. I’m not supposed to talk about either of them. But I do.”
Emma Roberts’ engagement to Cody John marks a joyful new chapter for the actress, who has charmed audiences with her talent and continues to keep her personal life mostly under wraps.
