If you want to keep your baby news a secret, don’t tell grandma. Emma Roberts and boyfriend Garrett Hedlund are reportedly the latest celebrity couple to see a plus sign on their pregnancy test, and news of their new bundle of joy was confirmed on Instagram by Roberts’ mother. This is why parents need to stick to Facebook. We kid. Hearts for all!Roberts’ pregnancy was announced on Thursday by Us Weekly, who reported the baby update on their weekly podcast Hot Hollywood. After the podcast went live, fans began congratulating Roberts’ mother on Instagram. According to E News, Roberts’ mother Kelly Cunningham responded to one fan's congratulatory message by writing, "Thank you so much! Very excited." When a second fan asked Kelly to confirm that her daughter was pregnant, she wrote "Yes!!" All together now, “Oh, maaaaawm!”The post in question has been removed, but this acts as a good reminder that excited grandparents cannot be trusted. JK again, but seriously, new parents, you need to be very clear about social media rules when telling sensitive information to parents who are on the interweb.Neither Roberts nor Hedlund have confirmed the baby news, but it’s possible Roberts was sending fans subtle messages through her recent social media posts. What could she possibly mean by this shirt?

Roberts and Hedlund have been low key about their relationship since its inception. The pair were first spotted together back in March of 2019, a few months after Roberts called it quit for the final time with ex-boyfriend Evan Roberts. The American Horror Story actors had been on and off for five years, and in 2013 Roberts was arrested after a fight with Peters. The pair reconciled shortly after and announced their engagement, later taking breaks in 2015 and 2016.Roberts and Hedlund reportedly spent time together in group social settings in early 2019 before things became romantic. "They have gone on a few casual dates and are exploring a relationship, but it is definitely not anything serious yet,” a source told E News last year. The 29-year-old Scream Queens star and 35-year-old Mudbound actor have not commented publicly on their relationship, but Roberts’ mother shared a picture of the pair smiling in a hotel room after the 2019 Met Gala. Roberts recently apologized to her mother for getting mad when Cunningham shared the snap last year, so don’t fret, grandma! This unapproved baby announcement will be laughed about soon. We don’t have an exact timeline for ‘soon,’ but watching the baby and letting the new parents nap anytime in the child's first four to five…years…should help.
