Earlier this year, Holidate actress Emma Roberts revealed that she is expecting her first child with actor Garrett Hedlund. The couple has somehow managed to stay remarkably low-key about their relationship, having only been photographed together on a handful of occasions since rumors of their romance first began.
Here's everything we know so far about Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund's relationship.

In the same report, a so-called "eye witness" told Us Weekly that Roberts was spotted with Hedlund in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, sparking new romance rumors.

When asked to clarify her relationship status during a Cosmopolitan interview, Roberts replied, "I never want to talk about relationships I’m in or that are ending or have ended.
