Emma Roberts is fed up with her mom’s Instagram posts, especially those involving her son.
The “American Horror Story” actor previously kept his 2-year-old daughter’s face out of the public eye until she was forced to reveal it Thursday after her mother, Kelly Cunningham, posted it on her page last week. Roberts, 32, was angry.
“When your mom posts your son’s face without asking, but you love them both regardless,” the actor wrote in an Instagram story featuring his son Rhodes sitting among some fallen leaves.
Cunningham permanently posted the same picture on his profile on February 3 with the caption: “Little man is growing up!” Eventually, she decided to take another look at Roberts, even posting a screenshot of the actor’s story on her account.
“The battle continues!!” Cunningham wrote in the caption.
This playful back-and-forth isn’t the first time Cunningham has stolen his daughter’s lightning. In 2020, she revealed that Roberts was pregnant before the actor could break the news to the world herself.
Roberts blocked her mom on Instagram before entertaining Jimmy Kimmel with the story.
“Moms and Instagram, it’s a bad combination,” she told the late-night host. “You have to understand my mother, she doesn’t own a computer. Owned a flip phone until three years ago. … So for Mother’s Day I gave her an iPhone … and it was the worst thing I’ve ever done.”
While Roberts said she discussed her mother’s disclosure in 2020, Rhodes was born happy and healthy. And with two famous parents (his father is Garrett Hedlund) and Julia Roberts as an aunt, he’s likely to be sought after, especially with such a devoted mother.
“Thanks 2020 for clearing one thing up,” she said after the birth. “Our Shining Light Rhodes Robert Hedlund.”
