Fame and celebrity

  • Emma Roberts – daughter of actor Eric Roberts and niece of Julia Roberts – seems like she’s been doing just fine since splitting from her son’s father, Garrett Hedlund
  • Not only has she moved into a US$3.6 million house in the Hollywood Hills, but she’s found love with fellow actor Cody John, who proudly launched their relationship on his Instagram page

Last month, actress Emma Roberts showed Architectural Digest around her US$3.6 million house in the Hollywood Hills. The American Horror Story star split from her ex Garrett Hedlund in 2022 – just two years after giving birth to their son Rhodes – and admitted to AD that she’d wanted the home she and Rhodes moved into next to be “a place that felt really ours”.

“When we were moving in, it was just me and my son,” she explained. “I want this to be our house that is just our style, and filled with our memories and our love.” However, Roberts’ use of the past tense implies it’s no longer just her and her son living there … could her boyfriend of two years Cody John have joined the duo?

Here’s what you need to know about Roberts’ beau.

According to E! News, Roberts and John met through mutual friends in mid-2022. The pair went Instagram official that August, when John posted a black and white photo of them kissing on a yacht. An insider told the outlet a couple of months later that John was good at making Roberts laugh.

“Emma loves Cody’s personality. He’s really funny and they have been having a good time together,” the source told E!, adding, “Emma is cautious about bringing her son around new people, but knows the day will come soon.”

Based on her recent AD interview, it seems that they were right.

Cody John is an actor

John is a fellow actor. However, unlike Roberts – who is the niece of Julia Roberts and daughter of The Dark Knight actor Eric Roberts – John doesn’t hail from Hollywood royalty. In fact, as an actor, he’s only just making inroads into the industry.

Per IMDB, he’s only appeared in a handful of TV shows to date, including two episodes of Wu Tang: An American Saga in 2021 and two episodes of The CW’s In The Dark. He currently has five projects in post-production, including the drama Grounded starring Radha Mitchell.

He’s more low profile than his girlfriend – so far
