Julia Roberts is one of the most iconic actresses in the world, with her films dominating the box office since the 1990s. Despite her success, her personal life had ups and downs before she found lasting love.
Roberts, often cast in roles where her characters were hesitant about marriage—like in Runaway Bride—had a similar struggle in real life. She was famously engaged to actors Liam Neeson and Kiefer Sutherland, but both relationships ended before marriage. In 1993, she surprised many by marrying singer Lyle Lovett, though the marriage ended in divorce two years later.
Her love story took a turn in 2000 when she met cinematographer Danny Moder on the set of The Mexican. Though Moder was married at the time, his marriage ended, and he and Roberts began a relationship. They tied the knot in 2002 and have since welcomed three children: twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, and son Henry.
Roberts has remained private about her personal life but opened up in 2018 on Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP podcast, calling her marriage to Moder a “seismic shift” and saying, “He’s just my favorite human.” She added that marriage deepens over time and that “he’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”
In 2020, an insider described them as soulmates with strong chemistry and a shared commitment to their relationship. It’s inspiring to see Roberts thriving in both her career and love life.
