Emma Roberts is Julia Roberts? niece and Eric Roberts? daughter. Emma has been working since she was a kid, and Julia absolutely ?nepotized? her niece?s way into the industry, appearing in Aunt Julia?s films and benefiting from Aunt Julia?s industry connections. Emma is Peak Nepo Baby, and she was all about nepotism since childhood. Well, Emma has decided to chime in on the whole ?nepo baby? discourse. Would you believe that Emma thinks nepo babies have to work harder to prove themselves more??
Emma Roberts appeared on the ?Table for Two? podcast (via Vanity Fair) and was asked whether becoming a ?massive movie star? was a priority for her when she decided to follow in the career footsteps of her father, Eric Roberts, and her aunt, Julia Roberts. Not quite. Emma said that watching her aunt become an A-list superstar as a kid showed her how scary that level of fame can be.
?I saw very up close what that really looks like,? Roberts said. ?It?s obviously fun and it?s great, but there is a part of it that?s really scary. So I?ve wanted to kind of carve my own path. ? Fame has never been the goal, because fame at a certain level is kind of scary.?
?Even in my later teens, I was like, I never want my fame to outweigh my work,? she continued. ?Because there?s nothing scarier to me than being so famous that you?re never left alone, but also you?re not getting good jobs. And that was kind of happening to a lot of people when I was in my teens and early 20s. I never wanted that to happen to me.?
?There?s two sides of the coin,? Roberts said [about the ?nepo baby? discourse]. ?People like to say, you know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry. But then the other side to that is, you have to prove yourself more. Also, if people don?t have good experiences with other people in your family, then you?ll never get a chance.?
?Everybody loves the kind of overnight-success story. And so if you?re kind of not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood, there?s kind of an eye roll of like, ?Well, your dad was this,?? she continued. ?I always joke, ?Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon.? I feel like young girls get it harder with the nepo-baby thing. Like, I don?t really see people calling out sons of famous actors, not that they should be called out.?
Roberts concluded her argument by saying that people who criticize nepo babys ?only see your wins, because they only see when you?re on the poster of a movie ? they don?t see all the rejection along the way. That?s why I?m always very open about things I?ve auditioned for and haven?t gotten the part for.?
[From Variety]
The one thing I think is correct is that female nepo babies get it harder than the guys. Other nepo babies have mentioned that too, so it must have been in some kind of nepo-baby memo or they were issued talking points or something. But the whole ?Everybody loves the kind of overnight-success story. And so if you?re kind of not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood? construct is idiotic. That?s not the way Hollywood works anymore. While there are still those overnight success stories, they are few and far between because Hollywood has gone all-in on nepo babies. I remember years ago, Karen Elson talking about how much the fashion industry has changed because there was such an obsession with ?this girl is the daughter of .? That?s happened in Hollywood too, and it?s one of the reasons why I support someone like Sydney Sweeney, because she had zero connections and she hustled her ass off to make her career happen.
?But then the other side to that is, you have to prove yourself more. Also, if people don?t have good experiences with other people in your family, then you?ll never get a chance.? The bad experiences with family members could be a reference to her father Eric Roberts, who has kind of a reputation for being an ahole professionally and privately. Eric was estranged from Julia and some of the family for a while as well. But no, nepo babies don?t have to ?prove themselves more.? That?s completely asinine coming out of Emma?s mouth.

Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are not ?together? anymore. Officially now. They dated throughout 2019 and 2020, and she gave birth to their son Rhodes in December 2020. During her pregnancy, she was already giving off single-mother vibes, and I?m not saying that in a bad way at all. Her vibe was: I?m having this baby with or without Garrett, and he can participate in this as much as he wants, it?s up to him. Garrett was around for some of it, it seemed like. Throughout 2021, there were rumors that they were already on the outs, and last November, Emma was holding hands with Cade Hudson at Paris Hilton?s wedding. It absolutely seems like Emma and Garrett were totally done at some point last year, but here they are, confirming it at long last:
Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund have called it quits, PEOPLE confirms. Multiple sources tell PEOPLE that the pair broke things off a few weeks ago, following a rocky few months in their relationship.
Its sad, and they are trying their best to co-parent. Its been hard, an insider says.
Reps for Roberts and Hedlund did not immediately respond to PEOPLEs request for comment.
The pairs split comes after they celebrated their son Rhodes Roberts first birthday last month with a rodeo-themed party.
Loved every second of it. I love you Rhodes, the proud mom, 30, wrote at the time.
She and Hedlund, 37, whom she began dating in March 2019, welcomed Rhodes in December 2020 and then shared the babys first photo and his name in January. Thank you 2020 for getting one thing right, she wrote. Our bright light Rhodes Robert Hedlund.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Hedlund totally stepped it up to support Roberts after they welcomed their first son in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
[From People]
Well, that?s that. I forgot that Rhodes has her surname too, he?s not Rhodes Hedlund. As I said, she was already acting like a single mom when she was pregnant. She always knew that she was basically going to raise her son alone.
Meanwhile, just before Garrett and Emma conceived Rhode, Garrett got two DUI charges and went through some kind of rehab program. One of those DUI charges was for a car crash on January 24, 2020, when he passed out behind the wheel of his car, ran a red light and got into a head-on collision with another car. Two women were in the second car: Marina Venegas and her daughter, Jennifer Castillo. They?re now suing Garrett for negligence. Considering the DUI charges and the police report, I?d say they probably have a pretty good case.

Thanks to a reader for pointing this out to me: Emma Roberts attended Paris Hilton?s wedding on November 11th. Emma wasn?t hiding, and she was holding hands with a date upon her arrival. Her date was not her baby-daddy Garrett Hedlund. Which is not some huge surprise, but it still feels notable, especially since they?ve never confirmed a breakup. Garrett and Emma began dating in 2019, and she got pregnant in 2020. She and Garrett tried to put a bow on it and they were together before they welcomed their son Rhodes just after Christmas 2020. Over 2021, there have been whispers that they broke up, but again, no one confirmed anything. And here?s Emma, holding hands with Cade Hudson at Paris Hilton?s wedding.
Emma Roberts attended friend Paris Hilton?s wedding on Thursday noticeably without partner Garrett Hedlund, 36. The 30-year-old actress entered the event holding hands with Cade Hudson, aka Britney Spears? longtime manager. The Scream Queens star walked into the Bel Air locale with her friend wearing a stunning black tulle spaghetti strap dress and a black tuxedo jacket over her shoulders.
Although they like to keep their relationship pretty low-key, Emma and Garrett have been spotted a few times since welcoming their child, Rhodes, together last Dec. 27. Rumors of their potential split, however, have made the rounds, as numerous social media detectives noticed the pair both unfollowed each other on Instagram, per the Daily Mail.
[From Hollywood Life]
I actually respect the way Emma handled all of this sh-t with Garrett, I have to say (and I don?t even like her). She didn?t marry him, she made it clear that she would have the baby regardless of his involvement, they were ?together? throughout her pregnancy and then whatever happened this year, they kept it quiet. As for Cade Hudson? he?s nice looking and tall, that?s all I?ve got. Interesting that Emma is seeing someone behind-the-scenes in management and not another actor. PS? I glanced through Emma?s Instagram and there are no photos of Garrett or Cade. On social media, she acts like a single mother (which is probably the truth).

If you could change your birthday, would you? I feel like a lot of people born around Christmas and New Year?s probably would change their birthdays, just because their b-days often get lost in the holiday shuffle. I was born in September my birthday would get lost in the shuffle of ?back to school? and Labor Day. Still, I like my September birthday, and maybe Christmas babies love their birthdays too. So it is for Rhodes Hedlund, the newborn son of Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund, who was born on December 27th.
Emma Roberts has a new holidate just in time for New Years Eve! E! News confirms the 29-year-old actress welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with partner Garrett Hedlund. Everyone is healthy, an insider shares.
The Holidate star gave birth on Sunday, Dec. 27 in Los Angeles, sources told TMZ. Emma and Garrett reportedly named the newborn Rhodes.
Emma confirmed her pregnancy on Instagram in August, writing, Meand my two favorite guys, alongside photos of the Mudbound actor and her baby bump. Her aunt, Julia Roberts, wrote, Love you, as she prepared to welcome her great-nephew into the world.
The stars later celebrated their first child with an intimate baby shower in October. Though the garden party was only attended by 15 people due to COVID, Kristen Stewart and Camila Morrone made the cut. Emma wrote of the special day, So grateful to my family and pod for making my pregnancy feel so celebrated during such wild times.
[From E! News]
The 15-person baby shower was a bad idea, but I believe it was held outdoors, for whatever that?s worth. I covered Emma?s Cosmo interview and I was surprised by how chilled out she seemed during her pregnancy. I took that as a good sign, a hopeful sign that she felt like she would be fine no matter what happened, especially since Garrett seems like a mess. Garrett got a DUI in January for driving while blackout-level drunk, and he completed a 30-day rehab program soon after. Which means the timeline of the conception is probably that Emma got pregnant right after Garrett got out of rehab. Which is a red flag, truly. But I hope everything is okay and? yeah. That?s all I?ll say. I don?t like the name Rhodes Hedlund, but it?s not my baby. It?s a really clunky name, right? Maybe they?ll call him Rho Hedlund?

Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are expecting. This will be the first child for both of them. We learned about Emma?s pregnancy a few weeks ago and I was legit surprised, because when we heard that they were dating last year, I assumed it was just a hookup situation, not a real relationship. I wasn?t paying attention though they actually began dating for-real and they?ve been photographed together a lot in the past year. That being said, this was a whoopsie-pregnancy, at least that?s how ?sources? are making it sound:
Exciting new chapter! Pregnant Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are thrilled to have a little one on the way. The couple are ?surprised, shocked and happy at the same time, and so are their families,? a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.
Us broke the news last month that the actress, 29, is pregnant with their first child. Later that same week, the American Horror Story alum?s mom, Kelly Cunningham, confirmed via Instagram that ?yes,? Roberts is expecting.
Us was the first to report in March 2019 that the Scream Queens alum was dating Hedlund, 35. ?Garrett and Emma have been friends, but this is new, casual and just a couple of weeks old,? an insider told Us at the time. In January, the pair were ?not talking an engagement or marriage at the moment,? but ?having fun and enjoying each other.?
[From Us Weekly]
I wonder if Garrett has proposed to Emma now that she?s pregnant. A lot of men do, don?t @ me. And honestly, it?s not like they were just friends-with-benefits and this happened out of nowhere. They really were and are in a relationship and it wouldn?t surprise me if they did get engaged or were already engaged. And I still feel a little bit sorry for Kirsten Dunst! She said in interviews when she was with Garrett Hedlund that she wanted to get married and have babies. But she?s happy with Jesse Plemons now they?re engaged and they have a son, Ennis.
Here are some photos of Emma last week that romper is concealing a small bump!

Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund started up as far as we know around March/April 2019. I honestly forgot about them, and I guess I kind of figured that it was just a hook-up thing and that they would burn out. Emma?s last big relationship was her on-and-off thing with Evan Peters, which once saw her arrested for domestic violence in Canada (but he declined to press charges). Garrett?s last big relationship was his years-long live-in relationship with Kirstin Dunst, who seemed to drop a lot of hints in interviews that she wanted to get married and have babies. Then Kiki and Garrett were over and a second later, she was with Jesse Plemons and knocked up. I always thought that Garrett probably wasn?t ready to settle down, and maybe he had some qualms about fatherhood. But he and Emma really did get serious with each other and their fling turned into a relationship. And now she?s pregnant.
Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are starting a new chapter! The actress is pregnant with their first child, Us Weekly exclusively revealed on our ?Hot Hollywood? news podcast.?
The couple were first linked in March 2019 when they were spotted holding hands in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. ?Garrett and Emma have been friends, but this is new, casual, and just a couple of weeks old,? a source told Us exclusively at the time. The insider added that the American Horror Story alum, 29, and the actor, 35, are ?having fun and enjoying each other.?
[From Us Weekly]
Emma has been out and about in LA a few times during the pandemic, and she?s always taking precautions with her hardcore face mask and getting her weekly supplies and such. I?ve never seen Garrett on those shopping trips! I wonder if they?re living together. I wonder if they?re quarantining together. I wonder how far along she is. I have to admit something though if I was a professional actress, model or athlete, I would want to be pregnant right now. It?s like those public figures have been given a year off where there?s no work to be done, no competitions to be had, no diets to maintain and their full-time job can be ?sitting at home and being low-key.? Except for all of the death and viral illness, it?s a perfect time to be pregnant.

This is a photo of Emma Roberts from a few weeks ago this is maybe one of the cutest polka-dotted dresses I?ve ever seen in my life, and Emma completely ruined it with her hosiery and shoe choice. Damn, does this woman have ANY style? Anyway, we?ve been talking about Emma recently because she seems to have suddenly dumped Evan Peters (yet again, for the millionth time) and immediately jumped off with? Garrett Hedlund. They?ve been pap?d together a few times, like this stroll from last week:
