Emma Roberts marries actor Cody John in intimate wedding

Actress Emma Roberts, known for her roles in American Horror Story, has married fellow actor Cody John.

The 35-year-old, daughter of Eric Roberts and niece to Hollywood icon Julia Roberts, married John on Saturday in Idaho, according to Vogue magazine.

Speaking to the publication during a fitting for her off-white Monique Lhuillier wedding gown, Roberts reflected on the significance of the occasion.

"I’ve been married in a movie before, and I tried out wedding dresses for that, which feels so weird. So now, it’s the real deal," she shared, highlighting the difference between on-screen and real-life nuptials.

Describing her vision for the dress, Roberts explained: "I didn’t really know what I wanted, I just knew that I wanted it to feel very vintage-inspired."

She added, "I’m obsessed with antique books and treasure hunting, and I love collecting old ephemera, so I really wanted that to shine through in the dress."

Despite her husband's laid-back approach – Roberts noted John "wouldn’t care if I wore jeans" – she was confident he would appreciate her chosen attire, stating he would "definitely die" for the elegant gown.

She reportedly wore a black dress by the same designer for the after-party.

Roberts shares a child with her ex-boyfriend, actor and musician Garrett Hedlund, who she was in a relationship with between 2019 and 2022.

She began dating John in 2022, and announced their engagement on Instagram in 2024.

The announcement included a picture of the couple smiling with their arms around each other as she flashed a large engagement ring.

Roberts has appeared in FX’s American Horror Story’s Coven, Freak Show, Cult, Apocalypse, 1984 and Delicate seasons from 2013 onwards, and will star in its upcoming season 13 later this year.

She has also appeared in films such as Nancy Drew (2007), Scream 4 (2011) and We’re The Millers (2013).

John has appeared in shows such as Wu-Tang: An American Saga and In The Dark.
