Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund have split.

The “American Horror Story” actress, 30 and “Mudbound” actor, 37, broke up a few weeks ago, multiple sources told People, with one noting the actors “are trying their best to co-parent” their son Rhodes Roberts Hedlund, who they welcomed in December 2020.

“It’s sad,” the insider told the magazine. “It’s been hard.”

The pair started dating in March 2019 and last month celebrated Rhodes’ first birthday with a rodeo-themed party, which Roberts said she “loved every second of” in an Instagram post.

“I can’t believe you’re #1?? ?? ??,” Roberts subsequently captioned a snap of herself holding Rhodes in another post.

“Having a newborn in the pandemic has been a lot harder than either of them expected, but they’re really, really trying their best to figure things out,” a source previously told People, noting that Hedlund “totally stepped it up” after the couple welcomed their son.

Hedlund joined Instagram on Monday to promote new music and so far only follows five musicians. Roberts, who also sings, is not among those he follows.

Hedlund as of Friday is facing a personal-injury lawsuit for negligence in relation to a head-on car crash he allegedly caused in January 2020.

The actor, according to Marina Venegas and daughter Jennifer Castillo’s suit obtained by E! News Friday, was allegedly drunk when he “passed out behind the wheel of his vehicle and ran a solid red-light at a high rate of speed,” hitting the car that held Venegas, Castillo and two children. All four suffered “severe and permanent injuries,” according to the suit.

“As if the excessive drunkenness and speeding were not enough, Hedlund also began weaving in and out of his lane, speeding and passing vehicles” just before the crash, according to the suit.

He was charged at the time with driving under the influence, according to the filing.

Prior to her relationship with Hedlund, Roberts was engaged to Evan Peters, who she was with from 2012 to 2019. Hedlund was previously with Kirsten Dunst from 2012 to 2016 and the two were engaged for a short time.

Neither Roberts nor Hedlund have so far commented on their reported split.
