Emma Roberts & Cody John: From First Kiss to Idaho ‘I Do’ – A Full Timeline

When Emma Roberts posted a boat‑side kiss with Cody John in August 2022, the caption simply read “Sweet sweet.” The photo instantly sparked a flurry of comments, because it arrived less than a year after the actress’s split from Garrett Hedlund was confirmed by Us Weekly in February 2022.

Roberts, who has often spoken about the headache of dating in the spotlight, told Cosmopolitan back in May 2019, “I never want to talk about relationships I’m in or that are ending… It’s hard enough to be with someone by yourself, let alone with an audience.” She added that social media can turn even a private moment into a public debate.

Still, the pair didn’t shy away from being seen together. In November 2022, they were spotted strolling the streets of Los Angeles – Roberts in a long black coat, John in a relaxed flannel shirt. Their casual look suggested they were comfortable, even if the cameras were rolling.

December 2022 brought two separate Instagram posts that felt like little love notes. John shared a selfie of the couple with a simple “Sweet sweet,” while Roberts posted a New Year’s greeting that read, “#2022 I loved you ❤️ happy new year hotties! 🥂.” It was a tiny, sweet way of marking the holiday season together.

March 2023 was a birthday shout‑out from Roberts: “Happy birthday sheesh,” she wrote, pairing the caption with two selfies. The gesture felt low‑key, a reminder that not every moment needed a grand statement.

Fast forward to early 2024, the duo attended Paris Fashion Week’s Lacoste Womenswear Fall/Winter show on March 5, looking chic side by side. Their appearance signaled that they were not only partners in life but also on the red‑carpet circuit.

Then came July 2024, when Emma announced their engagement on Instagram. She posted a close‑up of her new ring, joking, “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone.” The post was both intimate and public – a balance she’s constantly trying to strike.

Two years later, in July 2026, rumors swirled that the couple exchanged vows in Idaho, a detail first hinted at by the infamous DeuxMoi account. While no official photo‑release followed, fans eagerly pieced together the celebration from cryptic posts and eyewitness snaps.

Through each caption, paparazzi snap, and whispered rumor, Roberts and John have managed to keep their core story fairly private: two people who met, fell in love, and decided to build a life together despite the ever‑watchful eye of Hollywood.
