Who Is Cody John? What to Know About Emma Roberts’ Actor Husband

Cody John was romantically linked to actress Emma Roberts for several years before the pair officially said “I do” in an intimate Idaho wedding.

The pair became Instagram official in August 2022 following her split from Garrett Hedlund earlier that year. (Roberts welcomed son Rhodes with ex Hedlund in 2020.)

“Sweet sweet,” John captioned a black-and-white snap of the twosome kissing at the time.

Since their social media debut, Emma — the daughter of Eric Roberts and Kelly Cunningham and Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts’ niece — and John have kept their romance private. Ahead of their relationship, Roberts opened up about her decision to keep her love life low-key.

“I never want to talk about relationships I’m in or that are ending or have ended. It’s hard enough to be with someone by yourself, let alone with an audience,” she told Cosmopolitan in May 2019. “Growing up is hard. Sometimes it makes me sad that I can’t have a private moment. Because of Twitter and Instagram, there’s a whole other element where everybody can comment on what you’re doing, and no one knows the real story.”

The couple shared in July 2024 that they were engaged and tied the knot two years later.

Cody John Is an Actor

John has been in several shows, including Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga and The CW’s In the Dark. Emma, who was previously in a relationship with American Horror Story costar Evan Peters, reflected on dating an actor in a 2024 interview.

“One day the veil was lifted and I didn’t want to date actors anymore,” she quipped to Flaunt magazine at the time. “It’s hard, I think, for two actors to be together. I’m trying to think if I’ve seen it done successfully. Also, the actors I’ve been with border on method actors, and that is something that I think is extremely difficult to be in a relationship with — at least for me, especially the characters that they were playing.”

Cody John Is Not Very Active on Social Media

While John is not very active on social media, he shares a sweet tribute to Emma each year on her birthday.

“You make everything magic,” he wrote via Instagram in February 2026. “Happy birthday emma 🫠🫠.” In the comments section, Emma replied, “I love you.”
