The Scream Queens actress announced her engagement to fellow actor Cody John, whom she has been dating since 2022, on July 16.
On Instagram, the bride-to-be shared an excited selfie with her fiancé, showing off her new bling and cheekily captioned it, “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone,” referring to her mom, Kelly Cunningham.
Kelly is the former sister-in-law of Julia Roberts, who is Emma’s aunt through her older brother, Emma’s dad, Eric Roberts.
In the engagement announcement photo, the soon-to-be husband and wife are all smiles, posing in a field with Emma wearing a frilly pink dress. Her ring is a classic solitaire featuring a large round diamond set on a gold band.
The comments section under her post was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow celebrities and fans alike, including Lindsay Lohan, saying: “Congrats!!!!!!!” as Julianne Hough added: “Yesssss congratulations darling.”
Others followed suit with: “Omg!! Congratulations beauty,” and: “Congrats omg omg. So happy for you!!!” as well as: “Congratulations, couldn’t be happier for you guys!!!! I love you.”
Emma was previously in a relationship with Garrett Hedlund, from whom she split in January 2022. The former couple began dating in March 2019 and welcomed their son, Rhodes, in December 2020. Rhodes, now three, has country singer Tim McGraw as his godfather.
While Emma has been acting since she was about ten years old, following in the footsteps of her dad and aunt, her fiancé is relatively new to the industry. His first acting role was in a 2018 episode of the comedy show Verified, and he has since appeared in series such as Wu-Tang: An American Saga, In the Dark, The Rookie, and NCIS.
The couple reportedly met through mutual friends and went public with their relationship in August 2022 when he posted a photo on Instagram of them kissing. Although they have kept their relationship mostly private, Emma recently shared some insight into a heartwarming moment they shared at home.
