Evan Peters shot to fame for his role as Detective Colin Zabel in American Horror Story and he has since gone on to star in the latest Netflix hit series, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, as the American serial killer.
However, before he bagged his leading roles, Evan Peters was in a relationship with Hollywood actress Emma Roberts.
The niece of Julia Roberts made a name for herself in children’s Nickelodeon series Unfabulous before landing roles in Scream Queens, Wild Child and American Horror Story alongside her now-ex boyfriend.
But how did the couple meet and how did their ‘toxic’ relationship come to a bitter end? Here’s everything you need to know:

Evan and his ex-girlfriend Emma Roberts met on the set of indie comedy Adult World and they soon began dating in the summer of 2012.
Over the duration of their relationship, the pair featured in multiple Ryan Murphy projects together, including on American Horror Story.
Evan told People in 2014 that he enjoyed working with his then-girlfriend. He said: “It’s really amazing.
“You’re at set and you’re in a city that you don’t really know that well. It’s nice to have your best friend there to go to dinner with and check out the city.”
When did the couple get engaged?

The Dahmer actor got down on one knee and proposed to Emma just one year into their relationship in 2013.
The couple were engaged for two years before their initial split in 2015, but this was short-lived as they were soon spotted holding hands two months later.
They rekindled their romance and went on to spend New Years Eve together but they seemed to keep their relationship more private than before due to backlash from fans.
Why was Emma Roberts arrested?

The Scream Queen’s actress was arrested in 2013 after a passer-by reportedly heard a dispute coming from the couple’s hotel room in Montreal and called authorities.
When the Canadian police arrived at the hotel, they allegedly discovered Evan with a bloody nose and a bite mark.
The pair later released a joint statement to People addressing the incident.
The statement read: “It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.”

In 2019, the couple called off their engagement after an on/off seven year relationship.
Rumours began to circulate of the split after Us Weekly reported that Emma was seen kissing Troy actor and soon-to-be-boyfriend, Garrett Hedlund, during a night out.
A source later told the publication that Evan and Emma’s relationship came to an end due to being “toxic”.
The source said: “Evan was so in love with Emma and their relationship became very toxic.
“They had the highest highs and then would not speak for days. He took a long time of figuring himself out again before he was ready to date.”

Evan moved on with singer Halsey following the split but sadly this was short-lived as Evan was later linked to model Pixie Geldof and actress Alexandra Breckenridge.
Whereas ex-girlfriend Emma recently split from Garrett after a three year relationship and they now co-parent their one-year-old son, Rhodes, together.
