Emma Roberts’ secret hobby has been revealed as the star made an appearance at Fanatics Fest 2025 on Friday in New York City.
The American Horror Story actress, 34 – who turned heads at the Zimmermann Summer event this week – joined other celebrities during the festivities, such as retired NFL player Tom Brady.
The mom-of-one is no stranger when it comes to the world of sports, and has dropped hints about one of her passions: collecting trading cards.
Earlier this year in January, Roberts jumped to her Instagram stories to reveal that she pulled a Jackson Holliday Topps Chrome card. Holliday is an infielder for the Baltimore Orioles.
She uploaded a snap of herself at the time as she held the card and placed one of her hands over her mouth in excitement.
In text added towards the top of the photo, Emma penned to her followers: ‘the face of pulling my most covered 1/1. #1of1day @topps.’

And earlier this year in April, the beauty shared a photo dump onto her main page – and showcased more cards that she had pulled.
One of them included an autographed Caleb Williams card – who is known as the quarterback of the Chicago Bears.
Roberts was pictured sitting at a table inside what appeared to be restaurant with cards and unopened foil packages placed in front of her.
She gave a look at the Williams card by holding it up towards the camera and held a big smile on her face.

Her locks were styled into two braids and she also carried a fashionable bag in her hands to hold items she needed during the event.
Emma additionally sported a pair of large shades to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine at the venue near the ocean.
And one day earlier on Monday, the star was spotted posing for a brief photo session on a sandy area near the water.
She wore a semi-sheer dress that fell down past her ankles at the Zimmerman Summer event. Other stars were also in attendance including actress Olivia Wilde.
While Roberts recently revealed her passion for trading cards, the star has another known hobby: reading books.
Back in 2017, she notably launched the online reading community Belletrist with close friend Karah Preiss.

The actress is also mom to son Rhodes, four – whom she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund
During an interview with People last year, Emma opened up about choosing books for the club and admitted that ‘there is no formula.’
She added, ‘It’s genuinely whatever moves us. But I will say this…we try to pick books that we read and then need to talk about. That’s what makes a good Belletrist pick. You read it and you’re like: I gotta talk to someone about this – now!’
Roberts has been in a relationship with actor Cody John since 2022, and the couple announced their engagement last year in July.
The actress is also mom to son Rhodes, four – whom she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund.
