Acclaimed actress Julianne Moore stepped onto the red carpet for a special family occasion this week, making a rare public appearance alongside her second husband, filmmaker Bart Freundlich, and their son, Caleb Moore Freundlich. The trio attended the tenth annual Love Rocks NYC concert, held on Manhattan's Upper West Side this past Thursday, to support the charitable organisation God's Love We Deliver.
A Family Affair in the Freezing Rain
The sixty-five-year-old Oscar winner, born Julie Anne Smith, was photographed posing happily between her two favourite men, both of whom towered over her. To combat the winter's freezing rain, her husband and son wore matching black puffer coats, creating a coordinated family look for the evening event.
Moore herself opted for a more casual, dressed-down ensemble, choosing a brown corduroy jacket layered over a simple black sweater. She paired this with matching brown baggy trousers and practical black flats, showcasing a relaxed yet stylish approach to the red carpet.
Natural Beauty and Family Bonds
The star of The Sirens kept her beauty routine minimal for the benefit, wearing no makeup aside from a noticeable application of mascara. She had styled her signature ginger bob straight for the occasion, blowing it out to create a sleek, polished look that complemented her understated outfit.
This public outing highlighted the strong family bonds that Moore has cultivated over decades. She originally met the fifty-six-year-old filmmaker Freundlich on the set of his 1997 film The Myth of Fingerprints, and the couple have now been impressively married for over twenty-two years.
Career Updates and Family Milestones
Freundlich's most recent credited work includes acting in Ken J. Sackheim's twenty-eight-minute short film Always, Already, which premiered at the Athens Film and Video Festival earlier this year. The filmmaker also served as a producer on director Benjamin Caron's con-artist thriller Sharper for Apple TV+ in 2023, a project that Moore both produced and headlined.
Moore was previously married to stage director John Gould Rubin, with their nine-year marriage ending in divorce back in 1995. Her current family life continues to flourish, with son Caleb, a twenty-eight-year-old musician who performs professionally under the name Caleb Moore, preparing to release his debut studio album next month. The young singer, known for his work with the band Dead Yet, is also planning to marry his fiancée, Kibriyaá Morgan, later this year.
Notable Absence and Charitable Mission
One family member was missing from the evening's festivities: the couple's twenty-three-year-old daughter, Liv Helen Freundlich. She works as an assistant to the founder of the independent production company Project Infinity and was unable to attend the concert.
During the event, Moore took to the stage to express her enthusiasm for the cause, stating, 'It's an incredible honor to be here tonight celebrating ten years of Love Rocks New York City, and the fortieth anniversary of God's Love We Deliver!' The organisation, founded in 1985, provides medically tailored meals, comprehensive nutrition care, and education entirely free of charge to individuals affected by serious, life-altering illnesses.
Upcoming Projects and Continued Success
Beyond her charitable work, Moore remains busy with numerous film projects. She executive produced Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh's 2024 film Two People Exchanging Saliva, which is set to compete for Best Live Action Short Film at the upcoming 98th Academy Awards, airing on ABC this March.
Her upcoming slate includes roles in Jesse Eisenberg's untitled A24 musical comedy and Lynne Ramsay's Arctic revenge thriller Stone Mattress, produced by Film 4 and Amazon Studios. This blend of family life, philanthropy, and professional dedication underscores Moore's multifaceted career and personal commitments as she continues to balance Hollywood success with meaningful charitable engagement.
