In a refreshingly candid departure from her normally guarded private life, screen legend Julia Roberts has offered a rare window into her world as a mother of three. The 57-year-old Oscar winner, who fiercely protects her family from the public eye, shared intimate details about life with her husband of 22 years, Danny Moder, and their teenage children.
The key to their long-lasting Hollywood marriage? Roberts credits a foundation of deep friendship and unwavering mutual support. "It's about having a true partner," she revealed, emphasising the strength they draw from one another away from the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown.
Motherhood in the Spotlight
Roberts spoke with particular warmth about her three children: 19-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and 16-year-old son Henry. She described the profound journey of motherhood as her "primary focus," prioritising their normal upbringing above all else.
Her parenting philosophy is strikingly down-to-earth. "It's not about raising 'celebrity kids'," she explained. "It's about raising good, kind, grounded human beings. We've worked very hard to give them a childhood that is as normal as possible, despite the unusual circumstances."
Protecting Privacy in a Digital Age
The actress acknowledged the unique challenges of raising a family in the modern era, where social media and constant connectivity pose a threat to privacy. She and Moder have been deliberate in their efforts to shield their children, a task she admits requires constant vigilance.
"Our family is our sanctuary," Roberts stated. "That's the space we've fought to create and protect. It's the most important role I'll ever have."
This rare insight from one of cinema's most beloved stars offers a touching portrait of a woman who has masterfully balanced global superstardom with the simple, profound joys of family life.
