Early Life

Emma Rose Roberts was born on February 10, 1991, in Rhinebeck, New York, to Kelly Cunningham and actor Eric Roberts. Her parents divorced when she was just seven months old, and she grew up surrounded by a family deeply rooted in the entertainment industry. Emma is the niece of renowned actress Julia Roberts and has a younger half-sister named Grace. Her early exposure to film sets, particularly those of her aunt, ignited her passion for acting. Despite her family's connections, her mother aimed to provide her with a normal childhood, but Emma's desire to follow in her family's footsteps was undeniable.

Career

Emma's acting career began at the tender age of nine with her debut in the film "Blow," where she played Kristina Jung, the daughter of Johnny Depp's character. However, it was her role as Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon sitcom "Unfabulous" that truly launched her into the spotlight. The show, which aired from 2004 to 2007, earned her several nominations for Teen Choice and Young Artist Awards. Beyond acting, Emma has also ventured into music, releasing her album "Unfabulous and More" and the single "Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town." Her versatility as an artist is evident as she continues to explore various genres, including pop music, under Columbia Records.

Personal Life

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Emma is an avid reader and launched a book club on Instagram called Belletrist in March 2017. She attended Sarah Lawrence College briefly in 2011 but paused her studies to focus on her burgeoning career. Emma has also been involved in social issues, participating in a tribute video for the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016. Her personal life has seen its share of ups and downs, including a high-profile relationship with actor Evan Peters, marked by both passion and challenges.
