Emma Roberts has been the subject of public attention regarding her personal life for years, with a dating history that includes several high-profile figures.
Roberts' first public relationship was with Alex Pettyfer, whom she met on the set of the 2008 film "Wild Child." Their romance lasted approximately one year, during which Pettyfer reportedly got Roberts' initials tattooed on his finger.
Following her relationship with Pettyfer, Roberts was briefly linked to professional skateboarder Ryan Sheckler in 2009. They made a few public appearances together before attending the 2010 Teen Choice Awards as friends.
From 2009 to 2011, Roberts dated Dathan Kuppin, a student at the University of Southern California. The couple was frequently seen in popular spots in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills during their nearly two-year relationship.
In 2011, Roberts was first romantically connected to "Glee" actor Chord Overstreet. Although they ended their relationship after several months in early 2012, they were seen displaying public affection at Coachella later that year. They ultimately separated for good later in 2012.
Roberts met Evan Peters in 2012 on the set of "Adult World." Their romantic involvement began after filming concluded. They sparked romance rumors in July 2012 and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. Six months later, Roberts was arrested following a domestic incident at a Canadian hotel. Peters, who was reportedly injured during the altercation, did not press charges. The couple's representatives stated it was an "unfortunate incident and misunderstanding." Despite this, Peters proposed to Roberts in January 2014.
Roberts and Peters co-starred in multiple seasons of "American Horror Story" throughout their relationship, including "Coven," "Freak Show," "Cult," and "Apocalypse." Peters spoke about the benefits of working with Roberts, noting it was "nice to have your best friend there." The couple called off their engagement in June 2015, with a source stating they had "grown apart." However, they continued to date on and off until early 2019. After months of speculation, Roberts confirmed their relationship on Instagram in March 2016, and Peters expressed his affection for her publicly.
Following an early split from Peters, Roberts had a brief romance with director Christopher Hines in June 2016. They were introduced by a mutual friend, but their relationship ended after several months, and Roberts reconciled with Peters.
In October 2017, Roberts faced public scrutiny after Rachel Bilson reportedly found text messages between Roberts and her then-boyfriend Hayden Christensen, whom Roberts had starred with in "Little Italy." Bilson accused Christensen of an inappropriate relationship with Roberts during filming. Roberts did not comment publicly on the allegations and continued her relationship with Peters.
Roberts was first romantically linked to Garrett Hedlund in March 2019, the same month her relationship with Peters ended. Initially described as "new, casual, and just a couple of weeks old," their relationship progressed, and by June 2020, Page Six reported Roberts was expecting their child. They welcomed their son, Rhodes, in December 2020. Roberts and Hedlund reportedly broke up in January 2022 after "a rocky few months," with insiders noting they were working to co-parent.
News of Roberts' romance with Cody John emerged in August 2022 when he posted a photo of them kissing. By October 2022, E! News reported that Roberts and John were "taking it slow," having been introduced by mutual friends. A source indicated Roberts appreciated John's personality and was cautious about introducing him to her son.
Roberts and John announced their engagement in July 2024 via Instagram. They have maintained a relatively private relationship since.
In March 2026, Roberts and Peters reunited to promote Season 13 of "American Horror Story." A source told Page Six that the two "get along great" and that there was "zero issue between the two of them."
