Let’s get the family tree straight before diving in. Julia Roberts isn’t just the Pretty Woman star. She’s Emma Roberts’ aunt. When news broke that Emma was tying the knot, fans immediately wondered if the OG movie star would show up. Were they even close? Or is there that famous Roberts family drama standing in the way?
Here is the truth about Emma Roberts’ wedding attendance.
The Guest List Revealed
Photos obtained by Page Six confirmed what many were hoping for: Julia Roberts did attend.
She was there with her husband, Danny Moder, at the July 25 ceremony. Julia wore a sheer navy and white polka-dot dress. Danny looked sharp in a gray suit with a mauve tie. They sat in the second row. No hidden drama. No absence.
Emma Roberts, 33, wore a custom Monique Lhuillier gown. She didn’t have a traditional father walking her down the aisle. Instead, her son, Rhodes, escorted her. It was a sweet, modern moment.
How the Romance Started
Emma and Cody John didn’t meet on a set. They were set up by mutual friends in 2022. The connection was instant. They announced their engagement last July, just a year later. Now, they are officially married.
The wedding felt private but significant. For a family that has been in the spotlight for decades, this union seemed to focus on personal milestones over public spectacle.
Are Julia and Emma Really Close?
The question on everyone’s mind wasn’t just about the guest list. It was about the relationship. Yes, they are close.
In a 2024 Variety interview, Emma opened up about their dynamic. She admits she still watches Julia’s classic films in her downtime. But she also has a professional dream.
“I would love to find the perfect project for myself and my aunt, and I know there will be something… But it’s never been the right timing.”
Emma noted they send each other books. They talk. The bond is there. The business collaboration, however, remains pending. She called Julia “the best,” but the projects haven’t aligned yet.
It’s a nice change from the tabloid rumors. While Julia has been vocal about past feuds, specifically her split from father Eric Roberts, her relationship with Emma seems stable and warm. The photos from July prove it.
Whether they ever work together remains a question mark. But for now, the aunt and niece are simply enjoying being in the same room. And that’s enough for now.
