Emma Roberts announced her engagement to Cody John on Tuesday, strategically beating her mom to the punch by sharing the news on social media. The "American Horror Story" star humorously posted a photo of her and John, showing off her engagement ring, with the caption "putting this here before my mom tells everyone." Her mother had previously shared a photo of Roberts' son without permission, leading to a playful back-and-forth between the two on Instagram. Roberts and John confirmed their relationship in August 2022 and made their grid debut on New Year's Eve. The engagement news comes after Roberts opened up about the challenges of dating actors in the past, hinting that John might not be in the entertainment industry. Previously engaged to Evan Peters and then dating Garrett Hedlund, Roberts seems excited to start a new chapter with John.
