Emma Roberts, known for her roles in “American Horror Story” and “Scream Queens,” recently revealed a unique keepsake from an ex-boyfriend that she decided to hold onto after their breakup. In a video shared by Architectural Digest, the 33-year-old actress shared the story behind a special book she received as a gift from her former flame.
The book in question is Charles Portis’ 1966 classic Norwood, which Roberts discovered is worth a significant amount of money. While she didn’t disclose the exact value of her copy, similar editions have been listed for $3,360 on a website. Roberts humorously admitted that after realizing the book’s worth, she decided to keep it for herself.
In contrast to the book from her past relationship, Roberts also shared a heartwarming gift she received from her current boyfriend, Cody John. John surprised her with a vintage Leggy Jill doll, adding to her collection of dolls that she is “madly obsessed with” and “in love with.”
Roberts expressed her love for creating a whimsical, dollhouse-like atmosphere in her Los Angeles home, filled with memories and love for her and her son. She joked about her lack of minimalism, stating that every house she has lived in feels like a “cabinet of curiosities.”
The actress’s story of holding onto sentimental items from past relationships and cherishing gifts from loved ones adds a personal touch to her Hollywood lifestyle, showcasing her appreciation for nostalgia and unique treasures.
