“Holidate” star Emma Roberts reportedly welcomed a baby with her partner Garrett Hedlund.
The child, a boy named Rhodes, was born on Sunday, according to TMZ. The baby weighed about 9 pounds, the site said.
Rhodes’s conception might have been a surprise. Roberts revealed in a November Cosmopolitan article that she suffered from endometriosis for years, to the point where it affected her fertility. The condition, which began when she was a teenager, was not diagnosed until she changed doctors in her early 20s, she said.
In endometriosis, a tissue similar to that that lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus and usually affects the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Ultimately, scar tissue and adhesions can cause pelvic tissues and organs to stick together, according to the Mayo Clinic. It can cause pain and reduce fertility.
The actress ended up freezing her eggs, after the diagnosis, but it seems that she did not have to go that way.
“It sounds corny, but the moment I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant,” Roberts told Cosmo. “But even then, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Things can go wrong when you are pregnant. That is something you don’t see on Instagram.
“So I kept it for myself, my family and my partner, because I didn’t want to make big 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. “
Roberts, 29, and “Tron: Legacy” actor Hedlund, 36, have been romantically linked since early 2019, shortly after she and her boyfriend-slash-fiancé Evan Peters broke up. Roberts and Peters had dated since 2012, after meeting while making the movie “Adult World.”
Hedlund dated actress Kirsten Dunst before splitting in 2016.
Roberts’ representative was not available for comment.
