Emma Roberts is about to become a first-time mom. The actress and her boyfriend, Garrett Hedlund, are expecting a baby boy and by the looks of things, Roberts is far along in her pregnancy.
"Me...and my two favorite guys," the 29-year-old captioned a series of Instagram photos. In one image, Roberts sits on a couch, cradling her baby bump. In another snap, Hedlund sits beside her, his arm draped over her shoulder.
Social media was flooded with messages of love and support.
"Love you," wrote award-winning actress Julia Roberts, who is her aunt.
"You will be the greatest mama. I love you Em! Boy moms together," added close gal pal Lea Michele.
Roberts and Hedlund were first linked together in March 2019 and have since been spotted together on several occasions, but have not said anything about it until now, according to Fox News.
Before dating her actor boyfriend, Roberts was engaged to "American Horror Story" actor Evan Peters. The former couple had a bit of a stormy relationship. In 2013, Roberts was taken into police custody for domestic abuse after getting into a fight with Peters at a Montreal hotel. Peters had a bloody nose, but he didn't press charges.
"It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding," one of Roberts' reps said at the time. "Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it."
Roberts and Evans eventually split in 2019.
"I think that no matter who you are or what you do or wherever in the world you are, anything ending is hard," the actress said in an interview with Cosmopolitan shortly after the breakup. "Losing something is hard."
