Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund [1] haven't been together for long — two years to be exact — but they've already celebrated almost every major relationship milestone, including having a baby! The couple met in March 2019 and have been attached at the hip since. In the summer of 2020, we learned that Emma was expecting a baby boy [2] with her boyfriend, making them both first-time parents. There's been no talk of a diamond ring or wedding planning (they also have their hands pretty full at the moment raising a newborn), but what we do know about these lovebirds is that they're long-term relationship type of people, so we bet an engagement isn't too far away. Learn all about Emma and Garrett's love story ahead.
