Emma Roberts Reveals the Family Member She Wants to See On Real Housewives

Emma Roberts is ready to see her family take over The Real Housewives.

The American Horror Story alum admitted she’s had discussions with one of her relatives about joining the Bravo reality series, but not her Oscar-winning aunt Julia Roberts—instead, she’s been pushing her mom Kelly Cunningham to get onboard.

“I want my mom to be on Housewives,” she exclusively told The Rundown’s Erin Lim Rhodes April 12 during the 2025 Revolve Festival, taking place during the first weekend of Coachella, “but she said she doesn’t have the personality for it.”

But Emma, whose dad is Eric Roberts, wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“I said, ‘That’s exactly what makes you have the personality for it,’” she said at the event, which featured performances from Cardi B, Lil Wayne, Tyga and more. “She just says it like it is.”

The 34-year-old also shared that Kelly has actually been approached “in passing” to join the franchise in the past, but noted, “She’s a hard get.”
