Acting Career

Emma inherited those acting genes. After trying it once, she fell in love with performing and started actively pursuing auditions. She quickly found success and landed a role in the biographical drama "Blow," which tells the story of drug trafficker George Jung. Johnny Depp played the lead role, and Emma portrayed his daughter, navigating life with her rebellious father.

Emma Roberts attended the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles. However, due to the influx of roles following "Blow," she switched to homeschooling.

Emma's mother wasn't supportive of her career choice. Familiar with showbiz's dark side and fearing Emma might follow Lindsay Lohan's controversial path, she wanted a calmer life and carefree childhood for her daughter. But Emma, like all the Roberts family, with her stubborn and determined nature, stood her ground.

In 2016, the comedy horror series "Scream Queens," where she starred as Chanel Oberlin, was renewed for a second season. She was offered the role immediately based on her performances in "Scream 4" and "American Horror Story." Other contenders weren't even considered.

That same year, Emma Roberts starred in "Billionaire Boys Club," a drama based on true events following an elite society of America's wealthiest people and their founder's massive scam.

The film was released in 2018, earning just $1,349 at the US box office. This was because one of the key roles was played by Kevin Spacey, who, shortly before the premiere, faced condemnation for his advances toward young men, leading audiences to boycott the movie. It's a shame because Emma delivered a standout performance that was truly the film's highlight.

Emma Roberts' Personal Life

Emma's independent, headstrong nature meant she wasn't rushing to get engaged – her career came first. She had plenty of admirers, but most relationships were brief flings. She dated actor Alex Pettyfer and later became involved with famous skateboarder Ryan Sheckler.

Initially, Evan didn't pick up on Emma's interest and kept his distance. But her persistence paid off, and they soon became a couple.

Their relationship had its ups and downs. In summer 2013, Emma faced domestic violence accusations following a heated argument. Still, by 2014, an expensive diamond engagement ring sparkled on her finger.

By March 2019, sources close to Emma confirmed Evan had moved out – their relationship was officially over. They decided to remain friends.

Emma's new boyfriend was Garrett Hedlund, an actor six years her senior. He's best known for his roles in "Troy" and as Captain Hook in "Pan."

In 2020, Emma became a mother and stepped back from her career for a while. "Being a mom is a full-time job," Roberts noted. Once baby Rhodes got a bit older, she returned to the screen. In 2022, she starred in "Abandoned," a psychological horror about a woman with postpartum depression. She also appeared in the romantic comedy "About Fate," a remake of the Soviet film "The Irony of Fate," directed by Marius Weisberg. Both movies received low ratings from viewers.
