Emma Roberts and Cody John have been packing on the PDA since their first social media post as a couple.
“Sweet sweet,” John captioned an August 2022 Instagram post of him kissing the Holidate star on a boat. The intimate snap came less than a year after Us Weekly confirmed Roberts’ split from Garrett Hedlund in February 2022. (The exes — who began dating in March 2019 — remained amicable as coparents to their son Rhodes, born in December 2020.)
As for Roberts and John, the pair have been spotted out and about together several times since becoming Instagram official. Roberts has previously been candid about the challenges of dating as a public figure and wanting to keep her love life private.
“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, two months after she and Hedlund were spotted together for the first time. “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. That’s hard. … I know what’s true, and I know what happened in my own life, and so do the people that love me and who I love.”
