Emma Roberts hints at mom joining 'Real Housewives'
Emma Roberts expressed her desire for her mother, Kelly Cunningham, to join 'The Real Housewives,' citing her straightforward personality as a perfect fit. However, Cunningham feels she lacks the right personality for reality TV. Roberts, who recently got engaged to actor Cody John, also mentioned she isn't ready to join the series herself, as she isn't a housewife yet.
Actress and singer Emma Roberts shared that she wants her mother, Kelly Cunningham, to be seen on the reality TV franchise 'The Real Housewives'.
"I want my mom to be on Housewives," she said during the 2025 Revolve Festival, adding, "but she said she doesn't have the personality for it," according to E! News.
She shared, "I said, 'That's exactly what makes you have the personality for it,'" adding, "She just says it like it is."
Emma, who shares son Rhodes Robert Hedlund, 4, with ex Garrett Hedlund, was also hesitant about joining the series.
"I'm not married," the actress, who announced her engagement to actor Cody John in July, added. "I'm on my way, but I'm not a housewife yet. I don't know. Maybe when I'm a little bit more mature, " according to E! News.
Roberts has received various accolades, including a Young Artist Award, an MTV Movie & TV Award, and a ShoWest Award.
After making her acting debut in the crime film Blow (2001), Roberts gained recognition for her lead role as Addie Singer on the Nickelodeon television teen sitcom Unfabulous (2004-2007).
