On the occasion of her twins' 19th birthday, Julia Roberts took to Instagram to reflect on the joy, fun, and wild rumpus of life together with her kids. She shared a sweet black-and-white throwback photo of the twins sitting in her lap as toddlers.
In 2004, Roberts and her husband Danny Moder welcomed Phinnaeus and Hazel, two years after getting married. Their third child, son Henry, arrived three years later. Roberts has given occasional glimpses into her family life, sharing the realities and joys of motherhood during an interview on CBS Sunday Mornings.
In October 2022, Roberts stated that being a full-time mom is her main responsibility when she's not working. She added that while being a parent isn't always easy, it does bring a lot of joy into her life. She also expressed that the life she has built with her husband and children is the most fulfilling part of her life, and coming home to them at the end of the day is a triumph.
Roberts, 54, and Moder have made efforts to shield their family from public attention, allowing their children to maintain a sense of "innocence." When Moder accompanied their daughter, Hazel, to the Cannes Film Festival in 2022, Roberts expressed that the prestigious nature of the event did not faze the teenager, as she was simply "there with her dad."
Roberts noted that her children do not fully grasp her celebrity status, sharing in a 2018 interview with Harper's Bazaar that they have even questioned if she is "as famous as Taylor Swift."
Roberts remembered telling the outlet, "I think I mentioned once when they were starting to catch on, it was like, 'You're famous?'" She continued, "And I said, 'I think many people may have seen the movie I'm in or may recognize who I am.'"
Despite being a global superstar, Roberts has openly expressed that her family is her greatest dream come true. In May 2018, a source told We exclusively that her children are always her "primary focus."
“Julia just adores seeing [Danny] with the kids,” revealed a source to Us. “It only deepens her affection for him.” The insider pointed out that Roberts and Moder are both “actively involved parents” who lead a “down-to-earth [and] relaxed” lifestyle and frequently participate in school functions and community events.

Roberts and Moder prioritize their own relationship as well. Despite facing challenges throughout their over twenty-year marriage, the A-list couple is committed for the long term.
“When you see them together, there is no doubt about it,” the insider said. “They still have crazy passion and love for each other.”
