Emma Roberts’ Son Walks Her Down the Aisle at Fairy‑Tale Idaho Wedding

5‑Year‑Old Rhodes Helps Mom Emma Roberts Walk Down the Aisle

Emma Roberts says her son Rhodes was thrilled to escort her down the aisle at her intimate July wedding to Cody John on a ranch in Sun Valley, Idaho.

When Emma Roberts tied the knot with Cody John last July, the star’s five‑year‑old son Rhodes was front‑and‑center, proudly leading his mom down a tent‑lined aisle. The moment, which Roberts called "magical" on the "Sibling Revelry" podcast, was a sweet reminder that even Hollywood weddings can feel like a family backyard gathering.

The ceremony took place at Cody’s family ranch in Sun Valley, Idaho. Surrounded by the rust‑red mountains and a few hundred twinkling lights, the couple invited about 200 friends and relatives – a mix of famous faces and close‑knit family members. Emma’s mother Kelly Cunningham and her famous aunt, Julia Roberts, were in the front row, while her dad, Eric Roberts, missed the event, a fact the bride has never publicly explained.

Roberts gushed that the night felt "like a scene out of a book." She wore a custom Monique Lhuillier gown that blended vintage lace with a ghost‑like, ombré finish – a look she described as a "haunted doll" that somehow felt perfectly her own. "I wanted to look like a ghost," she laughed on the podcast, noting that most people thought the idea was odd, but she loved it.

Rhodes, who shares his mom with ex‑boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, was "so excited" to walk her down the aisle, according to Emma. The little guy took his role seriously, clutching a tiny flower bouquet and beaming the whole way. "It was so cute and sweet," Roberts said, adding that seeing her son so happy made the day even more unforgettable.

Beyond the aisle walk, the celebration was a laid‑back, tent‑filled soirée. Guests dined al fresco, danced under string lights, and toasted the newlyweds with the kind of relaxed vibe the couple hoped for. "I’ve never felt better, more settled, or happier," Roberts confessed, noting that the intimate setting let everyone truly be present – phones down, smiles up.

While the wedding was an overtly personal affair, it still had a touch of Hollywood sparkle. A handful of the industry’s best‑dressed turned up, but the focus remained on family, love, and the adorable moment when Rhodes, in his tiny tuxedo, led his mother to the altar.
