American Horror Story star Emma Roberts has been dating actor Cody John for years. The couple went public with their relationship in August 2022 and announced their engagement in July 2024. While they sometimes document their moments together on social media, they are otherwise private.
Roberts shares a son, Rhodes, with her ex-boyfriend, Garrett Hedlund. News of their breakup came out in January 2022. Her personal life going well since then has helped their co-parenting relationship.
“It’s been easy for Emma to co-parent with Garrett in a healthy way because she is so happy,” a source told Entertainment Tonight in October 2022.
