Emma Roberts has confirmed she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund.

The couple made the announcement on Instagram, revealing that they are expecting a baby boy.

The 29-year-old actress was first reported to be pregnant in June.

Her post on Sunday night confirmed the news.

Alongside three pictures, the American Horror Story star said: "Me...and my two favourite guys."

Roberts is pictured in the first image on a window seat, cradling her baby bump.

Her boyfriend makes an appearance in two of the photos, and the pair are pictured holding hands and laughing together.

The post has been liked by 1.2 million people, with thousands sending their congratulations to the pair.

In a reference to the VMAs on Sunday night, MTV commented: "I WAS SO BUSY I MISSED THIS."

Roberts' auntie, Julia, commented: "Love you."
