It's very sad, now they are focused on raising a child in new circumstances, it's not easy,

- one of the insiders shared.

Emma and Garrett are raising a son, Rhodes, who was born in December 2020. In an interview, the actress admitted that pregnancy was a big surprise for her, because for many years she struggled with infertility and even froze her eggs.

Another anonymous source previously told People that Garrett was very supportive of Emma, who gave birth at the height of the pandemic, and tried to be a good partner and father.

They both did not expect how difficult it would be with a newborn during the pandemic, but they are trying their best to be good parents. Garrett definitely proved himself when Emma was recovering from childbirth. He made sure that the house had everything necessary for her to feel comfortable.

Last month, the couple celebrated Rhodes' first birthday with a rodeo-style party.

Roberts and Hedlund started dating in 2019, but never officially married.
