Emma Roberts and Cody John’s Engagement
Emma Roberts engaged to Cody John! The beloved star and Gen Zs and millennials’ icon shares the announcement after two years of dating with a cheeky message about stepping out in front of her mom to break the news—could this be any more relatable?
The Instagram post, featuring a stunning diamond engagement ring, captured a private moment between the Roberts and John and attracted well-wishes from other celebrity friends and artists within the industry. Ashley Tisdale and Nina Dobrev joined in on the celebrations, while Lea Michele excitedly added, “Already planning the bachelorette!!!! So happy for you babe!!!” Bridal squad goals, undoubtedly.
The American Horror Story forever muse playfully noted, “putting this here before my mom tells everyone ❤️”
The engagement post seems to be a nod to her mom, Kelly Cunningham, who earlier this year posted a picture of Emma’s 3-year-old son Rhodes, whom Roberts shares with ex Garrett Hedlund, on social media without giving her a heads-up.
She jokingly called out her mom on Instagram Stories back on February 9, writing, “When your mom posts your son’s face without asking but you love them both so whatever.”
Who is Cody John?
The actor Cody John, and now Emma Roberts’ fiancé, is known for his appearance in shows like The Rookie and NCIS, although relatively new to the scene. Despite being a public figure, now more than ever, Cody maintains a low-key presence on social media, which aligns perfectly with Emma’s preference for a private relationship, as she has often expressed her desire to stay away from internet gossip.
John’s Instagram contains 7 posts only, 3 of them being Emma Roberts’ face. Boyfriend goals much? Insiders have told E! that Cody is known for being “really funny,” and that “Emma loves Cody’s personality.”
The Couple’s Relationship
Roberts and John became Instagram official in August 2022, when John posted an intimate snap of the couple captioned “sweet sweet,” marking the beginning of their public romance. The two actors reportedly met through mutual friends and have been going strong ever since.
In a sweet February post the same year, John paid tribute to Roberts on her birthday, sharing a photo of her with the caption, “happy birthday sheesh 🫠🫠.”
Emma introduced the actor Cody John on her socials with a photo of both holding hands on the set of her movie “Space Cadet” in 2022, hinting fans about being in love again. “#2022 I loved you ❤️ happy new year hotties! 🪩 🥂,” she captioned.
Despite the occasional social media posts, they’ve kept their relationship fairly hidden. At the Paris Fashion Week in March 2024, the artistic and stylish couple drew attention at the Lacoste Womenswear runway show with a rare public appearance together.
The Engagement Ring
Jeweler Laura Taylor from Lorel Diamonds shared with Us Weekly that Emma Roberts’ engagement ring featuring a stunning 3.5 carat round cut diamond set in a solitaire setting with a thick gold band is a real “showstopper,” and evaluated in at least US$110,000
“Based on the images shared, the diamond appears to be of excellent quality, possibly VVS1 clarity, indicating minimal imperfections,” Taylor explained. “The choice of a yellow gold band complements the diamond beautifully, adding warmth and sophistication to the design. Considering the diamond’s size, quality, and the gold band, I would estimate its value to be around $110,000.”
Emma Roberts’ Past and Present
The apple does not fall far from the tree: Emma Roberts comes from a talented family of actors. She is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of actresses Julia Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan. With her remarkable roles in Scream Queens and other notable projects, Emma has established herself as an influential figure for the young generation.
Roberts was previously engaged to her American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters, whom she split with in 2019 after dating on and off for seven years, leaving many fans and supporters heartbroken. She also shares a 3-year-old son, Rhodes, with her former partner Garrett Hedlund; their relationship ended in 2022.
Roberts told in an exclusive interview for Flaunt that her boyfriend was not “online.” “If you want to send a girl crazy, don’t have Instagram.” Reflecting on her past relationships, she said, “One day the veil was lifted, and I didn’t want to date actors anymore,” making it clear that she prefers to keep her love life private and steer clear of social media drama.
“It’s hard, I think, for two actors to be together. I’m trying to think if I’ve seen it done successfully. Also, 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.”
