Roberts had fertility issues before she got pregnant and had been living with undiagnosed endometriosis since she was a teenager. Roberts froze some of her eggs, "but the moment that I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant."
However, her fertility struggle "felt so permanent, and oddly, I felt like I had done something wrong," she told Cosmopolitan when she graced the cover with her baby bump. "I was so grateful to find out I was not alone in this. I hadn’t done anything 'wrong' after all. It sounds cheesy."
Roberts regularly showed off her baby bump during the pregnancy but kept the sex of her baby to herself before his arrival. A source told Us Weekly in July that both Roberts and Hedlund’s families were "surprised, shocked and happy at the same time" about their bun in the oven.
In fact, Roberts’ mom, Kelly Cunningham, was so excited that she accidentally leaked the news, which resulted in Roberts' blocking her on Instagram.
Roberts and Hedlund — who got together in March 2019 — kept their relationship under wraps for a while.
The American Horror Story star was previously engaged to Evan Peters.
Congrats to the happy couple!
