Rumors began to circulate in June that Roberts was pregnant, though the couple didn't offer any comment. Roberts and Hedlund were first photographed together in March 2019, holding hands in New York City, as People reports. News of the blossoming relationship emerged after sources confirmed that Roberts and ex Evan Peters had called off their engagement for a second time.

Roberts and Hedlund's relationship has evidently developed over the course of the year—in January, an insider told Us Weekly that the pair were "having fun and enjoying each other," without any pressure or expectation of future commitment. "They are not talking an engagement or marriage at the moment," the source said. "They like hanging out and going out together, and their relationship is more fun than serious."
