Emma Roberts shared a delightful moment on the set of American Horror Story: Delicate as she welcomed a special visitor. In an Instagram video posted on June 17th, the 32-year-old actress captioned the footage with her 2-year-old son, Rhodes, joining her at work.
In the video, the actress from "Almost Fate" can be seen relaxing in her bedroom, while Rhodes, her child with former boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, playfully rested his feet on her face. Roberts then shifted the camera to capture her toddler's focused expression as he watched a TV show on an iPad and enjoyed a snack.
The relatability of this moment was acknowledged by numerous celebrity friends of the actress. Mindy Kaling, a mother of two, responded with laughter, commenting on Instagram, "Hahahhahahahaha."

Comedian Desi Lydic jokingly added: “I’d let my dermatologist do that if she said it boosts collagen production.”
Roberts and Hedlund, who are both 38 years old, have rarely posted photos that clearly show their baby boy's face since he was born in December 2020. The first person to share an image of Rhodes was the mother of the "Unfabulous" actress, Kelly Cunningham.

Roberts shared via Instagram Story in February, expressing her mixed feelings about her mom posting a picture of her son without permission. Despite the lack of consent, Roberts still loves both her mom and her son. The original picture showed the toddler playing outside in fallen leaves, and Cunningham had captioned it "Little man is growing up." Roberts, the daughter of actress ex Eric Roberts, showed her approval by liking the post.
Emma recounted the unfortunate incident during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 2020. She shared that she discovered her pregnancy news while on a plane, which made it impossible for her to reach out to her mother directly. Instead, she could only communicate with her through iMessage and direct messages, pleading with her to stop revealing the information. When Emma confronted her mother about the situation, her mother responded by claiming that Emma had already announced the pregnancy herself, to which Emma vehemently denied.
Emma and Hedlund ended their relationship in January 2022, and shortly after, the actress started dating Cody John.
