Emma Roberts gives first look at newborn son Rhodes just two weeks after giving birth

Emma Roberts joyously welcomed her first child with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, 36, on Sunday, December 27.

And the actress, 29, shared the first image of her newborn son with her 15.5million Instagram followers on Tuesday.

‘Thank you 2020 for getting one thing right ☀️ Our bright light Rhodes Robert Hedlund,’ wrote Roberts, who could be seen cradling Rhodes in her arms.

Emma looked radiant in a stylish orange mini dress by Stella McCartney that she paired with some matching open-toed mules.

The American Horror Story star posed with her legs crossed and with her arms wrapped tenderly around her little one.

Rhodes, whose face was turned away from the camera, looked ultra cozy in a teddy bear inspired beanie.

His tiny body was comfortable wrapped up in a soft blanket that matched his mother’s fashion forward ensemble.

Emma appeared to be enjoying some time outdoors with Rhodes from the comfort of her Los Angeles home’s spacious backyard.

Roberts welcomed Rhodes into the world on December 27 at a Los Angeles hospital, a source told TMZ last month.

The insider also revealed that Emma and Garrett’s son ‘weighed in right around 9 lbs’ and that the couple were ‘doing great after the delivery.’

Neither had publicly confirmed Rhodes’ arrival until Emma’s surprise Instagram post on Tuesday.

Shortly after sharing her sweet mother-son snapshot, Roberts received an influx of supportive comments from her A-list pals.

‘Oh baby!! Congrats!!’ wrote fellow actress Reese Witherspoon, while Emma’s Scream Queens co-star Billie Lourd left a string of bright pink heart emojis.

Ashley Tisdale, who is currently pregnant with her first child, joked that she loved Emma’s post so much that she ‘liked it twice.’

Roberts’ good pal Rashida Jones commented that she ‘cannot wait’ to meet Rhodes, while Ashley Benson sent her love to the new mom.

‘Soooo happy for you,’ continued the Pretty Little Liars star, 31.

Back in August, Emma used Instagram to publicly announce her pregnancy and to reveal her baby’s gender, writing: ‘Me…and my two favorite guys!’

Since then, Roberts has kept her devout fans up to date on her first experience with pregnancy, with her last baby bump pic appearing in mid-December.

‘Emma and Garrett are getting more and more excited, which is so nice for them,’ a source told UsWeekly in November of the pair’s eagerness to meet their little one. 

‘Garrett is really looking forward to becoming a dad and feels as though this is something he needed.

‘He is ready to take on all the daddy duties, and Emma getting pregnant has forced him to become more responsible. He thinks that’s a blessing.’

The niece of Julia Roberts also recently made history – thanks to her bundle of joy – as she became the first pregnant star to pose on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. 

She admitted in the interview that she always wanted to be a mother: ‘Ever since I was little, I wanted to have a baby, in theory.

‘When I was a kid, I begged my mom to have another baby. The day she brought my sister home from the hospital, I remember holding her, wanting to dress and play with her.’

Roberts also revealed that she had her eggs frozen in her late twenties, when she was diagnosed with endometriosis, after switching to a female doctor.

She added: ‘It sounds cheesy, but the moment that I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant.

‘But even then, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Things can go wrong when you’re pregnant. That’s something you don’t see on Instagram.

‘So I kept it to myself, my family, and my partner, not wanting to make grand plans if it wasn’t going to work out. This pregnancy made me realize that the only plan you can have is that there is no plan.’

Emma and Garrett started dating in early 2019, shortly after the actress ended her length engagement with ex Evan Peters.

Hedlund had previously been in a relationship with Kirsten Dunst from 2012 to 2016.
