LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Emma Roberts, known for her role as Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon teen sitcom 'Unfabulous', has announced her engagement to actor Cody John.

The 'American Horror Story' star, 33, announced her engagement to actor Cody John on Instagram on Tuesday, July 16.

“Putting this here before my mom tells everyone ❤️,” Roberts captioned a photo of the couple smiling, with her flashing her ring.

The couple laughed heartily in a lush green area near a water stream. Notably, the picture was taken by John in landscape mode during sunny weather, with Roberts leaning on his shoulder and folding her hand to show the diamond ring. Overall, the photo depicted their affection for each other.

The 'Space Cadet' star's engagement post humorously referenced her mom, Kelly Cunningham, who earlier this year posted a photo of Roberts' son, Rhodes, 3, without informing her.

“When your mom posts your sons [sic] face without asking but you love them both so whatever,” Roberts wrote on her Instagram Stories on February 9, resharing Cunningham’s photo of Rhodes.

According to E! News, Roberts and John met through mutual friends. "She's been very content with Cody and they're enjoying their relationship and time together," the source said. "Their friends and family are happy for the both of them and think they make a great couple."
