The Scream Queens alum’s first experience with falling in love on set was with handsome model-turned-actor Alex Pettyfer, and she’s gone on to date stars including Chord Overstreet, Evan Peters and Garrett Hedlund.

However, Emma revealed she was officially off the market in July 2024 when she announced her engagement to boyfriend Cody John.

Cody made his romance with Emma Instagram official in August 2022 when he shared a sweet PDA picture with her in August 2022. An insider close to the couple told Life & Style in October 2022 that the pair have intense “chemistry” and have been “quietly seeing each other” for months.

Nearly two years later, Emma announced that she and Cody were engaged. “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone,” she captioned a photo of the couple via Instagram, which showed her flashing her diamond ring.

Emma and Garrett Hedlund

Emma began dating the handsome Triple Frontier star in March 2019, the same month she split from Evan Peters after seven on-and-off years together. The pair were photographed holding hands in New York City, and for the next year would show off cute PDA. Things really got serious when Emma confirmed in August 2020 that the couple were expecting their first child together.

““Me … and my two favorite guys,” the blonde beauty captioned an Instagram photo sitting next to Garrett and rocking a large baby bump, while revealing their unborn child’s sex. Their son, Rhodes Robert Hedlund, arrived on December 27, 2020.

Garrett has been absent from Emma’s Instagram in 2021, except for a Valentine’s Day photo where she was lying in his lap with the caption, “Happy Valentine’s Day my love.” Emma then sent tongues wagging when she didn’t bring Garrett as her plus one to Paris Hilton’s November 11 wedding, taking Britney Spears’ manager Cade Hudson as her date instead.

The pair seemed to officially be on the road to splitsville the following month when they put their home in L.A.’s Los Feliz neighborhood up for sale for just under $2 million. Emma also made no mention of Garrett when celebrating Rhodes’ 1st birthday on December 27, 2021, showing off a rodeo-themed party in Instagram photos and not including him in her gushing caption about the little boy.

Emma and Evan Peters

Emma’s longest and most drama-filled romance. She met and fell for the fellow actor in 2012 while shooting the film Adult World. The Holidate star was arrested a year later in July 2013 on a suspicion of domestic violence charge after the couple allegedly had a fight while staying at a Montreal, Canada, hotel that left Evan with a bloody nose. She was released from jail after a few hours. The pair remained united, putting out a statement through their rep to Us Weekly that read, “It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.”

Five months after the incident, Evan proposed with a pink-and-gold diamond ring over the 2013 holidays. The American Horror Story costars would later break up for the first time in the summer of 2015, calling off their engagement. But a few months later in September, they were photographed holding hands in Los Angeles and back on.

The couple split again in May 2016, and this time Evan deleted all traces of Emma from his Instagram account. But these two just couldn’t quit each other, reconciling again that September. Evan and Emma would stay together for several more years before their third and final breakup in March 2019. That same month, Emma began dating actor Garrett Hedlund.

Emma and Alex Pettyfer

Emma and the model turned actor fell for each other while shooting the 2008 film Wild Child. They became enough of an item to go red carpet official, attending the London premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum together in August 2007, but they split the following year. Alex later admitted that he really cared deeply about Emma and got a lasting symbol of their romance. He told Glamour U.K. in 2010 that, “I got a girl’s name tattooed on my ring finger because I was in love. We’ve broken up, but I don’t live in regret.”
