'Before Mom Tells Everyone': Emma Roberts Shares She's Engaged To Actor Cody John

Emma Roberts has announced her engagement to fellow actor Cody John. The announcement came on July 16 through an Instagram post where Roberts shared a picture of herself with John, casually flaunting her engagement ring. The post was humorously captioned, “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone,” followed by a heart emoji. 

This caption references an incident from earlier this year involving her mother, Kelly Cunningham, who had previously shared a picture of Roberts' 3-year-old son Rhodes without permission.

The incident with her mother, Kelly Cunningham, earlier this year made headlines when Kelly posted a photo of Rhodes, Roberts' son, with ex-partner Garrett Hedlund, without consulting her. Roberts responded by resharing the photos with the caption, "When your mom posts your son’s face without asking, but you love them both, so whatever."

Cody John, also an actor, has appeared in shows like Hulu's Wu-Tang: An American Saga and The CW's In the Dark. Despite their public professions, the couple has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight. Their romance became public in August 2022 when John shared an Instagram post of the two kissing, captioned "Sweet sweet." Later that year, Roberts confirmed their relationship with her own Instagram post, showing the two holding hands and captioning, "#2022, I loved you. Happy New Year, hotties!"

Throughout 2023, Roberts and John were spotted together on several occasions, whether sharing a kiss in New York City or holding hands in Los Angeles. It’s unclear how the couple first met, but sources suggest they connected through mutual friends. According to E! News, a source close to the couple stated, "She’s been very content with Cody, and they’re enjoying their relationship and time together. Their friends and family are happy for both of them and think they make a great couple."

There is no information yet about the wedding date or venue, but fans are eagerly waiting for more details.
