Emma Roberts and Evan Peters Recall Their Awkward First Sparks on the Set of Adult World

During interviews, both Emma Roberts and Evan Peters admitted that their connection began almost instantly on the set of Adult World.

Roberts joked on Chelsea Lately in 2014 that she tried to flirt, but it came across as awkward: “I would try to flirt with him, which ended up looking like I had something in my eye.” She also recalled feeling far from glamorous on set, wearing no makeup and sporting a rough haircut.

Peters later told Vulture that he also had a crush but struggled to express it, describing himself as introverted and “awkward” around her. The playful missteps eventually gave way to romance, sparking a relationship that would last, on and off, for seven years.

Beyond their on-again, off-again romance, Emma Roberts and Evan Peters often drew attention for their coordinated appearances, from laid-back festival outings to polished red-carpet looks.
