Celebrities really are just like us! Announcing a pregnancy is a pretty big deal, especially if it's your first child. Not only is the timing of the announcement very personal but when you're a celebrity it isn't always something you want to be made public, especially if that celebrity is trying to have a more low key pregnancy. Actress Emma Roberts recently revealed that she was forced to block her own mother (just temporarily!) on Instagram after the well-meaning grandma to-be revealed Emma's pregnancy to the public.

In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Roberts explained how her own mother "spilled the beans" about her low key pregnancy. The American Horror Story actress told the talk show host that her mother, Kelly Cunningham, had only owned a flip phone in the past so for Mother's Day, she bought her an iPhone. "I was, like, 'Now we can FaceTime and iMessage. And like, how sweet.' And it was just such a love fest," Roberts told Kimmel before explaining, "And it was the worst thing I ever did."

The expectant mother revealed that she first realized her thoughtful gift may have been a bad idea after her mother set up a Google Alert for her admitting she thought, "This was a bad idea." She explained that Cunningham then got Instagram and soon her follower count began to grow. She explained that her mother's lack of knowledge about the social media site first led her to be catfished by someone posing as Jackson Browne and led to her interacting with fans of the young star. She was then thanking fans for their well wishes about Roberts' pregnancy despite the fact that Roberts hadn't yet actually announced she was pregnant.

"It was a disaster," Roberts said. "And I found it all out on a plane. So, I couldn't get to her. Like, I couldn't call her or attack her. I could just iMessage with her and DM her and ask her to please stop." The actress said her friends were sending her screenshots of entire conversations her mother was having with her fans, telling them how excited they all were about the pregnancy. "When I said to her, 'Mom, you revealed my pregnancy,' she goes, 'Emma, you announced it,'" Roberts told Kimmel. "I said, 'No, I didn't. That was a tabloid.' And she's like, 'Oh, that wasn't clear.'"

Roberts seemed to have a good laugh about the situation but did explain that the entire exchange resulted in her blocking her mother after the two "kind of got in a fight" about it. "It was my only weapon," she explained, adding, "She texted me at 2:00 a.m., 'Queen, did you block me? Question mark. Sad face.' I was like, 'Yes, I did block you.' Then I unblocked her." She went on to say that it's definitely a story she won't forget. "It's been an Instagram war with my mother that I never saw coming. A good story to tell the baby."

Roberts also confirmed that she is expecting a boy with her boyfriend actor Garrett Hedlund. Something tells us she will be taking her mom's phone when she has the baby, at least until she gets a chance to make the birth announcement herself!
