He arrived too late to attend any Christmas parties, and God knows we weren’t having them this year anyway, but on Monday TMZ reported that Emma Roberts welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund. According to their source, the Holidate actress gave birth on Sunday, December 27, in Los Angeles, to a little boy named Rhodes, joining Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’oir Davis in the Perfectly Timed Quarantine Pregnancy Club.
In August, Roberts shared an Instagram photo that served as both a pregnancy announcement and a mercifully conflagration-free gender reveal. “Me…and my two favorite guys,” she wrote, posing with Hedlund and her baby bump. The pair went public with their relationship in March of last year, after Roberts ended her five-year engagement to longtime on-again, off-again partner and American Horror Story co-star, Evan Peters. So, welcome to 2020, Rhodes Roberts-Hedlund. We promise it’ll be over very, very soon.
Netflix has handed a series order to First Kill, a YA vampire series based on the short story by New York Times bestselling author Victoria “V. E.” Schwab, with American Horror Story and Scream Queens star Emma Roberts set to produce via her Belletrist Productions. The eight-episode, one-hour series was created, written and executive produced by Schwab. Felicia D. Henderson (The Punisher, Empire) also writes and serves as showrunner.
Schwab’s short story was published in Imprint’s Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite by Natalie C. Parker and Zoraida Córdova, a collection of short stories about vampires that was released in September.
It was a highly competitive situation, we hear, with Belletrist Productions winning the rights over 18 other entities.
In First Kill, when it’s time for teenage vampire Juliette to make her first kill so she can take her place among a powerful vampire family, she sets her sights on a new girl in town named Calliope. But much to Juliette’s surprise, Calliope is a vampire hunter, from a family of celebrated slayers. Both find that the other won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to fall for.2020 Netflix Pilots & Series Orders

The deal will focus on literary adaptations, as Belletrist was originally founded by Roberts and Karah Preiss as a book club. Preiss will serve as an executive producer on all projects developed under the deal, while Belletrist’s director of development, Matt Matruski, will serve as producer as part of his employment with the company.
The first project to be developed will be “Tell Me Lies,” based on the book by Carola Lovering. In the book, Lucy Albright arrives on the campus of her small college, away from her mother whom she’s never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years. She embraces college life and all it has to offer. But everything changes when she meets Stephen DeMarco, who has a mysterious past of his own. Their addicting entanglement will have consequences they never could have imagined.
Meaghan Oppenheimer is attached to write the pilot. Rebelle Media and Refinery29 will produce. Oppenheimer’s past credits include “Queen America,” “Fear the Walking Dead,” and the feature “We Are Your Friends.”

On Thursday, Us Weekly exclusively revealed on their Hot Hollywood podcast that the actress is pregnant. Rumors she and Hedlund were dating first began circulating in March 2019 after the pair were spotted holding hands.
While neither Roberts nor Hedlund has confirmed the pregnancy, the news led fans to flood the actress’s mom Kelly Cunningham’s Instagram with congratulatory comments. According to Us Weekly, one nosy commenter cut straight to the point, asking, “Kelly is emma pregnant?????” To which Cunningham unambiguously responded, “Yes!!” with a red heart emoji. She also enthusiastically responded, “Thank you so much! Very excited,” to another Instagram user who said she’d make an amazing grandmother.
As of today, however, Cunningham’s Instagram account has been mysteriously removed from the platform.
It seems that much like Yolanda Hadid before her, celebrity grandmas-to-be just can’t help but spill the beans.
Roberts’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment.
