Emma Roberts' Family
The father's name is Eric Anthony Roberts, and it wouldn't be surprising to say that he is also an actor who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award several times. Despite this, he also had "dark" days when he was arrested a few times for domestic violence and drugs. Perhaps, that's why Emma and her dad issues in their relationship. However, they are back to normal now.
The mother, Kelly Cunningham, is also a part of the filmmaking business. Her marriage to Eric was relatively short-lived, and she soon walked down the aisle for the second time with the musician Kelly Nickels. The mother and daughter share a tight bond.
The family also includes famous aunt Julia Roberts, who became a renowned star thanks to her leading role in Pretty Woman of 1990. It was she who influenced Emma's choice of becoming a movie star.
The celebrity also has a maternal half-sister, Grace, who was born in 2001. She deals with art, and her talent can be seen in Emma's social media account. The sisters are very close.
As for Emma's personal life, since 2019 and up till the present moment, Emma has been romantically involved with film performer Garrett Hedlund. These two lovebirds started as friends, but their feeling quickly grew into a love story.
Instagram War With Her Mom
The actress opened up about her Instagram war with her mother that she never saw coming and what happened when her mom spilled the tea about her pregnancy.
Fans of Emma Roberts know that back in August 2020, she revealed that she and Garrett were expecting their first child together. Ever since then, Emma has shared everything about her life as a mom with her over 16 million followers on Instagram.
In a new interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Emma revealed that her pregnancy announcement didn't exactly go as planned. Emma explained that her mom Kelly Cunningham accidentally spilled the tea about her daughter's pregnancy thanks to her new iPhone and Instagram account.
She revealed, "I was keeping my pregnancy pretty low key, but unfortunately, my mother has Instagram. Mothers and Instagram... it's a bad combination."
Emma explained that up until recently, her mom has never had a computer, and she only ever used a flip phone to communicate. She decided it would be a nice idea to get her mom an iPhone for Mother's Day so they could FaceTime and iMessage to communicate more during these strange times. As soon as Emma got her mom her first iPhone, she instantly regretted it.

But the actress said as bad as that was, things took a turn for the worse when her mom got Instagram. Her mom slowly started gaining more and more followers and even experienced getting catfished by imposter celebrity accounts.

Forgiving Her Mom
The Scream Queens' star said she was on a plane at the time when her mom broke the news, so she couldn't even call her or get to her to stop her from sharing the most important news of her life.
