Julia Roberts Shares Rare Insights About Her Three Grown Children
Julia Roberts shared heartfelt insights about her children, offering a rare look into her family dynamics.
During the episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert aired on Wednesday, October 1, the 57-year-old actress reflected on motherhood now that her kids have reached adulthood. (Roberts is the mother of twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, both 20, and her 18-year-old son Henry with husband Danny Moder, 56.)
“It’s all fun. Honestly, it has been an absolute joy, and I know everyone believes their kids are exceptional… well, I feel the same way!” she expressed. “I truly enjoy spending time with them, and thankfully, we’ve had plenty of visits despite the emptiness.”
For her late night appearance, Roberts donned a suit reminiscent of the one she wore at the Golden Globes in the 90s. This 1990 Armani outfit holds a sentimental place in her family’s history.
In an interview with Extra on September 30, Roberts mentioned that she not only still owns the iconic outfit but that her son Henry “had it on just recently.”
She reminisced about initially trying on outfits in the women’s section at Armani before heading to the men’s section, where she discovered the suit that became one of her standout red carpet looks.
“After trying on several pieces, I went upstairs to the men’s department. I distinctly remember wearing the suit and absolutely loving it,” she recalled. “I felt stunning.”
Roberts married Moder in 2002 at her ranch in Taos, New Mexico, after meeting two years earlier on the set of the 2000 film The Mexican.
The Pretty Woman actress expressed to CBS Mornings in 2022 how much she cherishes the life she has built with her husband and children.
“The life I’ve created with my husband and the one we share with our children is truly a dream come true,” she shared. “That’s the best part, coming home victoriously to them at the end of the day.”
Although Roberts and Moder tend to keep their family life private, the Erin Brockovich star shared in an interview with 72 Magazine on September 10 that they were fairly strict parents while raising their children.
“Without a doubt, they were among the last kids in their friend circles to get phones and similar devices. During their early years, Danny and I would have been classified as stricter parents,” she explained. “Not in a harsh way, but we maintained clear rules and ensured that they were consistent. Asking me a question and then turning to dad for a different answer was never an option. That simply wouldn’t happen.”
She added, “I believe that is what cultivates stability, allowing them to feel secure within a fixed world of love and safety that is unconditional.”
