Julia Roberts stands out as an anomaly in the realm of celebrities, leading a remarkably ordinary life alongside her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, for the past 19 years.
Their enduring marital bliss is shared with three children: 16-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, and their 14-year-old son Henry. The couple makes a conscious effort to shield their children from the public eye, rarely making appearances at public events and refraining from sharing family images on social media.
In a departure from their usual privacy, Hazel accompanied her father to the Cannes Film Festival in France last July to support his work on the film “Flag Day”, where Moder served as the choreographer under the direction of Sean Penn.
Despite inheriting her mother’s distinctive nose, Hazel is often recognized for her striking resemblance to her handsome father. At the festival, the 16-year-old garnered attention in a soft yellow lace gown paired with black Mary Jane heels, exuding a poised and elegant demeanor.
The question of whether Hazel and her siblings harbor aspirations in the film industry remains unanswered, as their parents actively maintain a preference for keeping them out of the spotlight.
Julia Roberts, despite her considerable fortune of approximately $250 million, remains characterized by her modest demeanor and grounded nature. In 2016, Hazel and her brothers made brief appearances in Roberts’ film “Mother’s Day”.
Acknowledging the potential challenge, Roberts conceded in a 2018 interview with Harper’s Bazaar that her children might never fully comprehend the extent of her fame.
She emphasized the unique challenges faced by today’s youth, admitting that she and her husband have limited insight into the experiences of adolescents in the modern era.
Despite her celebrity status, Roberts continues to exude down-to-earth values, providing her children with a grounded perspective on fame and the intricate complexities of contemporary teenage life.
