Emma Roberts holds hands with beau Cody John in 2022 retrospective album trends now

Emma Roberts could be seen holding hands with her beau Cody John in a retrospective album she posted on New Year's Eve.

The 31-year-old blonde included several glimpses of her year gone by, including of her soaking up the sun by the pool or enjoying a mountain trek.

One of the most heartwarming pictures however was of her son Rhodes, two, scampering ahead of her down a pathway strewn with autumn leaves.

Emma also threw up a playful selfie in which she was decked out in an eye-popping Dolce & Gabbana outfit whilst posing up with her stylist Brit Elkin Hines. 

Cody is an actor — like his girlfriend and her aunt Julia Roberts — and has appeared on TV shows including Wu-Tang: An American Saga.

The pair have been dating since at least late August, when they went Instagram official on Cody's page with a sizzling black and white kiss pic. 

Cody showcased his musclebound shirtless torso and Emma flashed the flesh in a frilly bikini as they locked lips for the camera during a boat ride. 

A source said in October that they were 'taking it slow' as far as introducing Cody to Rhodes, whom Emma shares with her ex Garrett Hedlund.

'Emma is cautious about bringing her son around new people, but knows the day will come soon,' the insider divulged to E! News, adding: 'Emma loves Cody's personality. He's really funny and they have been having a good time together.'

News emerged in January that Emma had split up with Garrett after a three-year romance, during which they welcomed little Rhodes into the world. 

They evidently retained an amicable co-parenting relationship, as Garrett showered Emma with praise on Instagram for Mother's Day.
