Exes Emma Roberts and Evan Peters made a rare joint appearance nearly seven years after their breakup.
Roberts, 35, and Peters, 39, were spotted sharing the stage at the Disney upfront presentation on Tuesday, May 13, per social media, where they promoted the upcoming 13th season of American Horror Story.
Both actors are staples across AHS seasons, even sharing the screen in multiple iterations of the horror anthology. In real life, Roberts and Peters dated on and off from 2012 to 2019.
One year into their relationship, Roberts was arrested for alleged domestic violence after an altercation with Peters.
“It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding,” a rep for Roberts and Peters told Us Weekly in a joint statement. “Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.”
Roberts was eventually released before the charges were dropped. She and Peters continued to date, getting engaged in 2014. The duo, however, called it quits for good in 2019.

“Emma and Evan were heading for a split and now are just friends,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “Evan has moved out. It wasn’t a bad breakup.”
Roberts subsequently moved on with actor Garrett Hedlund, welcoming son Rhodes in 2020. The pair broke up in 2022.
“I’m at a place where I can say, ‘I may not have got everything right, but I like who I am more than I ever have,’” the actress told Tatler later in 2022. “My life has changed more in the past two years than it did in the 28 years beforehand and I love where I’m standing now at the age of 30.”
Emma Roberts and Cody John have been packing on the PDA since their first social media post as a couple. “Sweet sweet,” John captioned an August 2022 Instagram post of him kissing the Holidate star on a boat. The intimate snap came less than a year after Us Weekly confirmed Roberts’ split from Garrett Hedlund […]
According to Roberts, she was focused on raising Rhodes to be an “utmost gentleman.”
“I want him to be respectful and intelligent at school but also in life,” the Belletrist founder stated. “What it means to be a man is being rewritten right now and I hope my contribution to the world can be raising an amazing boy who turns into an amazing man. I want him to feel that there’s nothing he couldn’t ask or tell me.”

Roberts eventually found love again with Cody John, and they got engaged in 2024.
“Putting this here before my mom tells everyone ❤️,” Roberts joked via Instagram in June 2024, sharing a photo of her diamond ring.
As for Peters, he has been linked to the likes of Halsey and Natalie Engel after his split from Roberts.
