Emma Roberts is now engaged to actor Cody John.
The “American Horror Story” star shared the happy news on Instagram on July 16, writing with a heart emoji, “putting this here before my mom tells everyone.” This humorous caption refers to an incident in 2020 when her mother, Kelly Cunningham, publicly confirmed Roberts’ pregnancy with her ex Garrett Hedlund, which led to Roberts blocking her on Instagram.
This time, Cunningham waited for Roberts to announce the engagement before sharing the news on her Instagram Story with a “Congratulations!” message.
Roberts’ sister, Grace Nickels, also showed her approval by commenting, “COCO summer 4EVER.”
The couple, who started dating in 2022, received plenty of congratulations from fans and friends. Pregnant friend Lea Michele commented, “Already planning the bachelorette!!!! So happy for you babe!!!” while Nina Dobrev, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Tisdale wrote matching “congrats” messages. Britt Robertson chimed in with, “Yesssssssss!!!! Love this for you both!”
Roberts and John have been open about their relationship online. In August 2022, John posted a photo of them sharing a kiss with the caption, “sweet sweet.” A source previously told E! News that Roberts “loves Cody’s personality” and that “he’s really funny and they have been having a good time together.”
John, known for his roles in TV shows like “NCIS” and “The Rookie,” also posted a birthday tribute to Roberts in February, sharing a picture of him kissing her cheek and captioning it, “happy birthday, teenie tiny.”
