How is actress Emma Roberts related to Julia Roberts?

Emma Rose Roberts was born in Rhinebeck, New York, to Kelly Cunningham and actor Eric Roberts. Her parents separated when she was a baby. Through her father's marriage, she is the stepdaughter of Eliza Roberts. Through her mother's marriage, she is the stepdaughter of musician Kelly Nickels. She has a maternal half-sister, Grace. Her paternal grandmother was acting coach Betty Lou Bredemus (1934–2015), and her aunts are actresses Julia Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan. During her childhood, Roberts spent time on the sets of her aunt Julia's films. These experiences sparked a desire to follow her father and aunts into the film industry. Her mother initially wanted her to have a normal childhood.

After small roles in films such as Blow (2001), she rose to prominence with her role as Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon television series Unfabulous (2004–07), for which she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and six Young Artist Awards. She released her debut album, which also served as the show's soundtrack, Unfabulous and More in 2005.

Noel Dacanay, sorry but nope. The question is 'HOW is EMMA ROBERTS related to JULIA ROBERTS'. Emma is Julia's niece. Were the question 'HOW is JULIA ROBERTS related to EMMA ROBERTS' the answer would be 'aunt' because Julia is Emma's aunt. I just knew someone would try arguing this in the comments.

Shaumarie Garza Cameron, Noel Dacanay, kleenoslo, The wording is fine and written in English. It asks how Emma Roberts is related to Julia Roberts and the answer is Niece. If it was how is Julia Roberts related to Emma Roberts the answer would of been Auntie .... simples.

kleenoslo, so instead of considering the question more carefully, you reported it because _you_ failed to understand it? Wow. The fault is yours, not the question's. Christ.

JANE CROOKS BRITT you are thinking Emma Stone La La Land & Help

Chris Braun

The question says how is Emma related to Julia, not how is Julia related to Emma. Therefore there is only one correct answer. If you're male with a sister and someone asks how you're related to her, you wouldn't say I'm her sister lol. Similarly aunt and niece aren't interchangeable

kleenoslo, It asks how is Emma related to Julia, not vice versa. Niece is the only answer.

The wording is fine, if the names were reversed the correct answer would be auntie but as is the answer is correct. It's simple grade school english.
