Julia and Emma share a very close bond. Back in 2013, the Oscar-winner opened up about her relationship with her niece during an interview with Los Angeles Times.
The mother-of-three said: "When Emma comes to stay with us, I always think, 'Please let her be the same,' and she is still the same magical girl she used to be."

Julia added: "I think so much of it has to do with your intentions in taking on a business like this. If you have a pure view of what you want to accomplish, I think you can maintain your sense of self."
It wasn't just her aunt who expressed their love for Emma on her special day, her mother, actress Kelly Cunningham, also took to Instagram and shared a series of photos of herself and her daughter taken over the years.
