Emma and Cody got engaged in July after meeting two years ago through mutual friends. 

The Nancy Drew actress shared a photo with her arm around Cody with the ring on her left hand very visible.

The sighting comes as Emma’s father, actor Eric Roberts, 68,  has released his memoir in which he laments his lack of a relationship with his daughter and his sister, Julia. 

Roberts called losing custody of a young Emma the biggest consequence of his drug use and something he feels acutely now that Emma has a son.

He also offered an apology to his Academy Award-winning sister for saying, ‘If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts.’

He wrote: ‘I hope Julia will accept this public apology. It was an asinine thing to have said.’
