Emma Roberts is candidly sharing how motherhood changed her.
The Scream Queens star, 34, recently chatted with Harper's Bazaar Spain as she graced the December issue as their cover star. During the conversation, she opened up about how being a mom to her son Rhodes, 4, has changed her both professionally and personally.
"Motherhood has given me so much depth in my emotions and understanding, both personally and professionally. Seeing everything through his eyes is beautiful and transforms your perspective on the world," she shared. "I also find it inspiring for my work."
"I've had some dark nights postpartum. Using those emotions creatively is interesting," the American Horror Story actress continued. "My son is about to turn five, and I feel like I'm still discovering who I am, as a person and as a mother. I try to do my best, although I don't always succeed, but I try."

Roberts welcomed her son Rhodes on Dec. 27, 2020 with ex Garrett Hedlund. Shortly after they celebrated Rhodes' first birthday, PEOPLE confirmed that Roberts and Hedlund had gone their separate ways in January 2022. In July 2024, Roberts got engaged to her partner of two years, Cody John.
In October, Roberts shared pictures recapping her and her son's recent trip to Universal Orlando. In the photos, the mother-son pair seemingly enjoyed rides, a merry-go-round and more. She also shared an adorable image of the toddler sitting on her leg as she looked at him fondly.
"To say we had the the best time would be an understatement 🧡 🎃 thank you @universalorlando #universalorlandoresort 🌎 🌟," she captioned the carousel of photos.
In July, Roberts shared another photo on her Instagram Stories with her little boy. The Madame Web actress could be seen sitting on a bench with her son, wearing sunglasses and a white sweater tied around her neck.
The proud mom smiled next to Rhodes, who wore a yellow AC/DC T-shirt and looked just like his mom as he smiled. "My bestie," Roberts wrote over the photo.

The mom of one previously opened up on iHeartPodcast's Table for Two with Bruce Bozz about her relationship with her son, noting that she's happy she's able to support her son on her own.
"Now that I have been working so long, I can support myself and I can help out other people. And also with my son, to just know that I can always support him on my own is a very freeing thing that I know is a huge privilege," Roberts said. "And some people can't and I just always want to encourage people to know that they can try."
While Roberts is happy that she can provide for her son, she also expressed feeling "mom guilt" when leaving for work.
"I have such mom guilt. I'm away from my son, working for 12 hours a day and then on the weekend I'm so tired and I feel like I'm not being my best self," she shared. "But the other side of that coin is I know that [he] will always know that his mom works really hard and loves what she does and therefore will always be able to support him."
