Emma Roberts is officially a married woman. The actress exchanged vows with longtime partner Cody John on Saturday, July 25, in an outdoor ceremony in Sun Valley, Idaho. The couple said their vows in front of close family and friends at John’s family estate.
Roberts, 35, wore a flowy white gown paired with a sheer shawl and a long veil for the occasion. John, 36, chose a brown suit for the ceremony. The pair have been together for roughly four years and got engaged in July 2024.
Inside the Ceremony
The wedding took place at a private estate belonging to John’s family in the mountain town of Sun Valley. Guests gathered outdoors for the celebration, which unfolded under warm summer skies. The setting offered a scenic, low-key backdrop for the couple’s big day.
Among those in attendance were Roberts’ aunt, veteran actress Julia Roberts, and her husband, Danny Moder. The pair traveled to Idaho to take part in the festivities. Their presence added a touch of Hollywood glamour to an otherwise intimate affair.
Roberts is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts, Julia’s older brother. The family connection has long placed Emma in the spotlight since her early career as a teenage star. Saturday’s wedding marked a rare occasion where multiple generations of the Roberts acting family came together.
Representatives for both Roberts and John had not responded to requests for comment as of Sunday, July 26, according to PEOPLE. Details about the guest list and other wedding specifics remained limited in the immediate aftermath. Much of what is known so far comes from photos and secondhand accounts shared following the event.
How They Met and Fell in Love
Roberts and John’s relationship dates back to the summer of 2022, when the two connected through mutual friends. They kept things quiet at first before going public later that year. John shared a photo of the couple in August 2022, offering fans their first real glimpse into the romance.
By December 2022, Roberts posted her own confirmation on Instagram, sharing a photo of the pair holding hands. She captioned the post with a nod to the new year and her excitement about the relationship. From there, the couple began appearing together more frequently, though they largely kept their day-to-day life private.
John is an actor known for television roles, including appearances on The Rookie and NCIS. Unlike Roberts, who is active on social media and shares glimpses of her life regularly, John tends to keep a lower profile online. The contrast in visibility has meant fans often relied on Roberts’ posts for updates about the relationship.
Their bond deepened over the following years as they balanced their respective acting careers. Roberts has continued working steadily in film and television, while John built his own resume in episodic television roles. Friends close to the couple have described their relationship as grounded and private despite both being in the entertainment industry.
The Road to Engagement
Roberts announced her engagement to John in July 2024, sharing a smiling photo of the couple on Instagram. In the post, she showed off her diamond engagement ring while joking about keeping the news from her mother. The lighthearted caption reflected the couple’s playful dynamic, which fans had come to recognize from her social media presence.
Speaking with PEOPLE around the time of the engagement, Roberts opened up about her relationship with John. She reflected on a memorable night watching a film together that left them both in tears. The moment, she said, became a mix of crying and laughing as they teased each other over their emotional reactions.
Before her relationship with John, Roberts was previously in a relationship with actor Garrett Hedlund. The two share a son, Rhodes, who was born in December 2020. Roberts has spoken in the past about wanting to be thoughtful in introducing new partners into her son’s life.
She was also previously engaged to actor Evan Peters before her relationship with John began. That engagement ended years before she and John crossed paths. Since then, Roberts has kept most details about her romantic life relatively private, sharing only select moments with fans.
A New Chapter for the Couple
Saturday’s wedding represents a significant milestone in a relationship that had largely stayed out of the public eye. Despite Roberts’ visibility as an actress, she and John chose to keep much of their courtship private over the years. Their wedding continued that pattern, taking place at a family estate rather than a large public venue.
The ceremony’s intimate scale echoed the couple’s approach to their relationship from the start. Choosing a private estate in Idaho over a more conventional celebrity wedding setting kept the focus on close family and friends. It also allowed relatives like Julia Roberts and Danny Moder to be part of the day without the scrutiny of a larger event.
As more details about the wedding continue to emerge, fans and followers have shown enthusiasm for the couple’s next chapter. Roberts’ career, which spans projects like American Horror Story and Scream Queens, has kept her a familiar face for over a decade. John’s own career continues to grow alongside their now-married life together.
For now, the couple appears focused on their new life as husband and wife following the weekend celebration in Idaho. Additional details, including specifics about the guest list and reception, had not been confirmed as of Sunday. Representatives for the couple have yet to issue an official statement beyond what has surfaced through photos and secondhand reports.
