Emma Roberts responded in a loving way after her mother posted a photo of her two-year-old son, Rhodes, that showed the boy’s face.
Emma, who turned 32 on Friday, and her ex-partner Garrett Hedlund, 38, try to keep the boy out of the media, but the Maybe I Do star can’t always control what others are doing.
Mum Kelly Cunningham, who described herself as ‘Gramma to Rhodes’ in her Instagram bio, shared an adorable photo of her grandson last week, writing: ‘Little man is growing up!’
It took a while for the About Fate star, who was last seen at NYFW, to check out her mom’s account, as she’s been busy promoting her new rom-com and spending time in New York for Fashion Week.
However, on Thursday night, a scroll through her feed revealed the post.
