Julia Roberts has declared she is 'invested' in finding Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais a romantic partner. The 54-year-old actress made the comment after running into Beauvais at Saturday's HISTORYTalks event in Washington, D.C.
Beauvais recounted the encounter to Entertainment Tonight, saying: 'I just met Julia Roberts. She said, "Oh my god, I need to find you a boyfriend. I'm invested in this."' The Jamie Foxx Show alum was so starstruck that she later remarked: 'I can die now. I don't even need the boyfriend.'
In a separate interview, Roberts told a news reporter: 'She needs a boyfriend. I'm gonna be thinking about it all day.' The Oscar-winning actress is happily married to cinematographer Daniel Moder, with whom she shares three children.
Beauvais, a former model and actress, has been married twice: to Daniel Saunders from 1991 to 2000, and to Michael Nilon, whom she divorced in 2011. She is mother to three sons: Oliver Saunders, 31, and 14-year-old twins Jax and Jaid Nilon.
In 2020, Beauvais wrote an essay for People about dating as a single mother, explaining she had taken herself 'off the market' to focus on herself and her children. She noted that while she is not rushing into a relationship, her heart is 'much more open' to meeting someone emotionally healthy.
