Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are creating unforgettable memories for their little one. The **Unfabulous** actress and **Tulsa King** star, who split in 2022 after two years of dating, reunited to give their son Rhodes a special birthday gift: a trip to Universal Resort in Orlando.
"So nice, we had to go twice!" Emma, 34, wrote in her Jan. 16 Instagram post. "The best belated birthday trip for Rhodes #5."
To truly celebrate the occasion, the Nickelodeon alum shared a glimpse of their kid's full itinerary. Indeed, the trio visited Toadstool's Cafe at Super Nintendo World inside Universal Epic Universe, The Lorax and Cat in the Hat adventure at Universal's Islands of Adventure, as well as E.T.'s colorful tunnel. In between their adventures, Emma and Garrett, 41, also took a few selfies with Rhodes, even giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Garrett noted in the comments of Emma's Instagram post that the outing was "The Greatest!!!" This trip comes shortly after the **Scream Queens** actor—who's now engaged to **Midsummer** actor Cody John—and her son celebrated the holidays together. In December, she posted a cozy photo of her and Rhodes smiling as they played in the snow on Instagram, captioning the moment "Merry merry."
When Emma's not documenting their bond on social media, she's reflecting on how much he's impacted her view of the world. "Motherhood has given me so much depth in my emotions and understanding, both personally and professionally," Emma told **Harper's Bazaar Spain** earlier that month. "Seeing everything through his eyes is beautiful and transforms your perspective on the world."
She continued, "I feel like I'm still discovering who I am, as a person and as a mother. I try to do my best, although I don’t always succeed, but I try."
Meanwhile, Garrett’s exploring his relationship to fatherhood through acting—specifically, his role in the 2025 film **Barron’s Cove**, which sees his character Caleb kidnapping the boy he believes caused his child's sudden death. "It really posed the question of, ‘How far would you go for your child?’" he explained to **E! News** last June. "And for that, I could really relate to the character I play, because there would be no bounds, no limits."
In fact, the **Country Strong** actor embodied this devotion that summer, as he was able to mostly clear his schedule to spend quality time with Rhodes. "It’s looking beautiful for me," he explained. "If I was working every single day that week, the little man was gonna come down and we’d journey all throughout Georgia. But it looks like it might be a nice little getaway to the farm."
