Emma Roberts and boyfriend Garrett Hedlund just got the most precious gift this holiday season.
According to multiple reports, the couple welcomed their first child on Sunday, December 27 in Los Angeles. Their baby boys name? Rhodes – and he weighed right around nine pounds at birth, per TMZ.
While Emma and Garrett are yet to announce their baby news, E! confirmed that the actress has given birth – with updates on how mom and son are doing.
“Everyone is healthy,” an insider tells the outlet.
News broke back in June that the Emma was expecting her first child, but it wasn’t until June that the Holidate actress announced her pregnancy on social media, sharing photos with her boyfriend – her baby bump on display.
“Me…and my two favorite guys,” she wrote in the caption, confirming that they were expecting a baby boy.
In October, they celebrated with an intimate baby shower – only 15 people were on the guest list, including Kristen Stewart and Camila Morrone.
“So grateful to my family and pod for making my pregnancy feel so celebrated during such wild times,” Emma shared on social media, alongside photos from the event.
Emma also made history as Cosmopolitan’s first-ever pregnant cover star. In her cover story interview, Emma opened up how her baby boy was somewhat a miracle baby – she didn’t think she would get pregnant.
“A few years ago, I learned that I’ve had undiagnosed endometriosis since I was a teenager,” she revealed to the magazine. “I always had debilitating cramps and periods, so bad that I would miss school and, later, have to cancel meetings.”
“I mentioned this to my doctor, who didn’t look into it and sent me on my way because maybe I was being dramatic?” she continued. “In my late 20s, I just had a feeling I needed to switch to a female doctor. It was the best decision. She ran tests, sent me to a specialist. Finally, there was validation that I wasn’t being dramatic. But by then, it had affected my fertility. I was told, ‘You should probably freeze your eggs or look into other options.’”
“I said, ‘I’m working right now. I don’t have time to freeze my eggs.’,” she went on. “To be honest, I was also terrified. Just the thought of going through that and finding out, perhaps, that I wouldn’t be able to have kids….I did freeze my eggs eventually, which was a difficult process.”
“When I found out about my fertility, I was kind of stunned,” she added. “It felt so permanent, and oddly, I felt like I had done something wrong. But I started opening up to other women, and all of a sudden, there was a new world of conversation about endometriosis, infertility, miscarriages, fear of having kids. I was so grateful to find out I was not alone in this. I hadn’t done anything ‘wrong’ after all.”
“It sounds cheesy, but the moment that I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant. But even then, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Things can go wrong when you’re pregnant. That’s something you don’t see on Instagram. So I kept it to myself, my family, and my partner, not wanting to make grand plans if it wasn’t going to work out. This pregnancy made me realize that the only plan you can have is that there is no plan,” she shared.
Congrats, Emma and Garret! Welcome to the world, Rhodes!
