A Private Celebration in Idaho
Actress Emma Roberts and actor Cody John officially tied the knot on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at a private residence in Idaho. The ceremony, which followed a two-year engagement, was a carefully guarded affair that marked a significant milestone for the couple, who have maintained a relatively low profile since they first went public with their relationship in August 2022.
Reports indicate that the wedding was attended by close family and friends. Among the notable guests were Roberts’s aunt, Julia Roberts, and her husband, Danny Moder. The bride’s 5-year-old son, Rhodes Robert Hedlund—whom she shares with her former partner, Garrett Hedlund—was also present and participated in the ceremony by walking his mother down the aisle. The groom, Cody John, was seen in a chocolate brown suit, a choice that complemented the natural, wildflower-rich outdoor setting of the Idaho venue.
Custom Fashion and Design
The bride’s wardrobe became a focal point of the event, with Roberts working closely with designer Monique Lhuillier to create a bespoke aesthetic. In a detailed feature with Vogue, Roberts described her vision as an “antique ghost doll” look, opting for a custom tea-stained silk chiffon gown rather than traditional stark white. The gown, which took approximately nine months and 1,000 hours to complete, featured a corset with light boning and a removable lace shawl, allowing for multiple variations throughout the celebration.
For the after-party, the actress transitioned into an archival two-piece ensemble from Lhuillier’s 2004 collection, consisting of a black Chantilly lace corset top and a layered silk organza skirt. Roberts noted her preference for the unexpected, stating that she enjoyed the idea of wearing black for the reception to contrast with the ethereal tone of the ceremony.
Relationship Timeline
The marriage follows a four-year relationship that began in 2022. The couple, both established actors—Roberts known for her roles in American Horror Story and Scream Queens, and John for his work in Wu-Tang: An American Saga and In the Dark—kept their courtship largely private. They shared news of their engagement in July 2024 through a social media post that playfully referenced Roberts’s mother, Kelly Cunningham.
As the couple begins this new chapter, they continue to balance their public careers with a desire for personal privacy. While the wedding has drawn significant public and media attention, the couple has remained focused on their immediate family, including their shared life with Roberts’s son, Rhodes, with whom they have maintained a public-facing co-parenting dynamic alongside Hedlund.
