Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund put the spotlight on co-parenting when they reunited to celebrate their son Rhodes’ milestone birthday in a memorable way.
The former couple reunited to treat their son to a special trip to Universal Resort in Orlando, celebrating his fifth birthday with a family getaway full of theme park adventures and shared moments.
Roberts, 34, shared highlights of the trip on Instagram on January 16, giving fans a glimpse into the experience.
“How nice, we had to go twice!” he wrote, adding that it was “the latest birthday trip for Rodas number 5.”
The post showed just how packed the itinerary was, with visits to Toadstool’s Cafe at Super Nintendo World within the Universal Epic Universe, attractions inspired by The Lorax and The Cat in the Hat at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and a walk through ET’s iconic glowing tunnel.
Between attractions, Roberts and Hedlund, 41, were seen posing for selfies with Rhodes and sharing sweet moments, including kisses on the cheek.
Hedlund made it clear that the trip meant a lot to him too, commenting on Roberts’ post that the experience was “The best!!!”
The outing comes nearly three years after the couple split in 2022 after two years of dating, but their reunion for their son’s birthday highlighted their shared commitment to creating meaningful memories for him.
The family trip comes after a cozy vacation for Roberts and Rhodes.
In December, the actress shared a snowy photo of the two spending time together and captioned it simply: “Happy, happy.”
Outside of social media, Roberts has also spoken openly about how motherhood has shaped her.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar Spainshe reflected, “Motherhood has given me a lot of depth in my emotions and understanding, both personally and professionally.”
And he added: “Seeing everything through their eyes is beautiful and transforms your perspective of the world.”
Now engaged to actor Cody John, Roberts continues to balance her personal and professional life while embracing motherhood.
Moments like Rhodes’ birthday trip show that, despite going their separate ways, she and Hedlund remain united by putting their son first.
