Emma Roberts’ five-year-old son had the honour of walking his mother down the aisle on her wedding day, amid the mysterious absence of her famous father Eric.
Photos from multiple US outlets show little Rhodes – who Emma, 35, shares with her ex Garrett Hedlund – walking hand-in-hand with his mother in her wedding dress as she exchanged vows with Cody John last weekend.

She wore a custom Monique Lhuillier gown in off-white for the occasion, while her son matched her in a white tuxedo.
Thr latest revelation comes days after Eric, 70, issued a terse statement to the media after being noticeably absent from her nuptials.
“I love my daughter, always have, always will,” said the Oscar nominee as he addressed his absence in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday.
“It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants.”
The day after Emma and Cody said ‘I do’ in their intimate Idaho wedding, Eric was spotted over 1,000 kilometres away from where his famous daughter tied the knot.
Instead, the Runaway Train actor was photographed leaving a Los Angeles-based gym.
Several Hollywood friends witnessed the wonderful ceremony including Demi Moore, Kristen Stewart and her partner, Dylan Eyer, co-star Sarah Paulson, Ashley Benson and more.

Emma’s famous aunty, Julia, was spotted sitting in the second row with cinematographer and husband Daniel Moder.
The Pretty Woman star was seen wearing a flowing, navy-blue polka dot dress.
Eric did not provide a reason for his absence. He welcomed Emma in 1991 with actor and ex Kelly Cunningham.
Speaking on the Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson podcast in April, the Oscar nominee said his relationship with his daughter looked “complicated through outside eyes”. He, however, claimed they were not estranged.
