Emma Roberts is reported to be getting married to Cody John in Idaho this weekend, putting a new spotlight on the actor’s love life after years of public relationships. The reported wedding is the latest turn in a story that has followed Roberts since her teen years.
That is why readers are searching now: the marriage news lands at the exact moment a relationship that had already drawn attention appears to have moved to the altar. Roberts has spent much of her adult life in the public eye, and Cody John has now become the name attached to her next big headline.
Before John, Roberts’ dating history was already well known. She first met Alex Pettyfer on the set of Wild Child in 2008, and the two dated for about a year. Pettyfer later said he had tattooed her initials on his ring finger because he was in love, then added that they had broken up and he did not live in regret. Roberts was briefly linked with Ryan Sheckler in 2009, and she and Sheckler later showed up together at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards as friends after their split.
She also dated Dathan Kuppin for nearly two years after they got together in 2009, with the pair often spotted in hot spots around West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. In 2011, Roberts was first linked to Chord Overstreet, and by early 2012 that relationship had ended, even though they were later seen packing on the PDA at Coachella in April 2012. That run of high-profile pairings is part of why her personal life has stayed a regular topic for years.
Evan Peters became the defining romance in that history. Roberts first met him in 2012 on the set of Adult World, and by July of that year they were photographed holding hands at a wedding. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, but Roberts later said in February 2014 that she had tried to flirt with Peters on set and that he “literally didn’t speak to me the entire movie, like thought I was so weird.”
That awkward beginning eventually turned into Roberts’ most famous on-again, off-again relationship, one that lasted until they split for good in 2019. Even after that breakup, the two were later promoted together while both worked on Season 13 of American Horror Story, a reunion that carried a visible edge given how the relationship had ended. It was the kind of public overlap that kept their history from ever feeling fully in the past.
Now Roberts appears to be moving into a different phase with John, though one key detail remains unclear: when exactly the couple became engaged before this weekend’s reported Idaho wedding. For a public figure whose relationships have often arrived with a paper trail of photographs, appearances and quotes, that missing piece is the one still left hanging.
