Watch: Emma Roberts Engaged to Actor Cody John!

This news is anything but unfabulous: Emma Roberts is engaged to actor Cody John.

The American Horror Story actress announced her relationship update in a cheeky Instagram message July 16, writing alongside a heart, "putting this here before my mom tells everyone."

Emma's hilarious caption is a reference to her mom, Kelly Cunningham, publicly confirming her pregnancy with and ex Garrett Hedlund's son Rhodes back in 2020, which resulted in the Nickelodeon alum blocking her on Instagram.

This time, though, Kelly waited for Emma—her dad is actor Eric Roberts—to announce the news before sharing the post on her Instagram Story, writing, "Congratulations!"

And it seems like Emma's sister Grace Nickels approves. As she commented, "COCO summer 4EVER."

Emma, the niece of Julia Roberts, and Cody—who started dating in 2022—also received a flood of celebratory messages from fans and friends, including pregnant pal Lea Michele who commented, "Already planning the bachelorette!!!! So happy for you babe!!!"

Meanwhile, Nina Dobrev, Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Tisdale wrote matching "congrats" messages and Britt Robertson commented, "Yesssssssss!!!! Love this for you both!"
