Emma Roberts talks postpartum lows after son's birth

Emma Roberts is reflecting on the highs and lows of early motherhood, sharing how the experience reshaped her personally.

In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the American Horror Story star said welcoming her son, Rhodes, in 2020 brought emotional growth but also some difficult moments.

“Motherhood has given me so much depth in my emotions and understanding, both personally and professionally,” she said.

Roberts added that she experienced “some dark nights postpartum,” explaining that channeling those emotions into creativity has been meaningful.

“My son is about to turn five, and I feel like I'm still discovering who I am, as a person and as a mother,” she continued. “I try to do my best, although I don't always succeed, but I try.”

Roberts shares her son with actor Garrett Hedlund, whom she split from two years after Rhodes’ birth.
