From falling in love to getting arrested, Emma Roberts’ high-profile relationships
After announcing her engagement most sweetly and funnily possible, Emma Roberts is once again back in the headlines, with fans curious about her previous relationships.
1. Alex Pettyfer
Roberts and Alex Pettyfer met on the sets of 2008’s Wild Child, and sparks flew instantly. The two of them dated for a year but eventually decided to go their separate ways. Alex Pettyfer, known for his work on Magic Mike, revealed during an interview with Glamour U.K. in 2010 (via The Things):
I got a girl’s name tattooed on my ring finger because I was in love. We’ve broken up, but I don’t live in regret.
Not much is known about their relationship, as after the breakup, she was linked to her co-star and Glee actor, Chord Overstreet, in 2011. The two of them were spotted at Coachella in 2012, but they called it quits shortly after. The actress, according to The Things, briefly dated pro-skateboarder Ryan Sheckler in 2009. She later dated a tennis player from UCLA, Dathan Kuppin, for two years before calling it quits in 2011.
2. Evan Peters
One of the most high-profile relationships for the actress that kept her in the news was with American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters. The two of them started dating in 2012 after meeting on the sets of Adult World and later worked on AHS. The couple hit their rough patch for the first time in 2013 when the actress was arrested for domestic violence.
US Magazine reported that the couple got into a heated argument on the evening of July 7th, 2013, which ended with the actress assaulting the actor. Their reps, however, released a statement saying that the incident was unfortunate, the actress was released after questioning, and they were working together to move past the situation. The two got engaged towards the end of 2013 before calling it quits in 2016.
The actors tried to make their relationship work as they reunited in September of 2016, and Roberts started wearing her engagement ring once again. However, they finally called it off in March 2019.
3. Hayden Christensen
Roberts was linked to Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen in 2017 after Rachel Bilson revealed that she found text messages between Roberts and Bilson’s then-boyfriend, Christensen. Bilson, according to US Magazine, stated that Roberts and Christensen had an ‘inappropriate relationship’, and thus called it quits with the Star Wars actor after being together for a decade.
Roberts never publicly commented on her link-up rumors with the actor and continued her relationship with Evan Peters. The details of the text messages that Bilson found were never revealed.
4. Garrett Hedlund
After parting ways with Evan Peters, Roberts was linked to actor Garrett Hedlund in 2019. A source shared at the time that the two of them had been friends for a while, and the friendship turned into love. It was reported in 2020 that the actress was expecting her first child with Hedlund. They welcomed their son in December 2020.
The duo decided to part ways in 2022 and are now working to be the best co-parents to their son. Cosmopolitan reported that the actress had given multiple ultimatums to the actor before she decided to pull the plug. A day after their split announcement was made public, the actor was taken into custody for public intoxication.
Emma Roberts announces her engagement to Cody John
The American Horror Story actress recently took to her social media to share that she is now engaged to actor Cody John, with whom she made her relationship official in August 2022. A source shared in October 2022 with Life & Style that the couple have been seeing each other for a while now. Roberts wrote on her social media,
Putting this here before my mom tells everyone.
The actress made a cheeky remark about her mother, Kelly Cunningham, who shared her 3-year-old son on social media without Roberts’ knowledge. Actress Lea Michele wrote under the post, ‘Already planning the bachelorette! So happy for you, babe!’.
This is going to mark the first marriage for both actors. The actress opened up about dating actors during her interview with The Flaunt Magazine and said,
The actors I’ve been with border on method actors, and that is something that I think is extremely difficult to be in a relationship with—at least for me, especially the character that they were playing.
Roberts and Cody John are relatively private about their relationship but do not hide from sharing glimpses of their lives on social media. John has appeared in shows including The Rookie and NCIS.
