Julia Roberts is one of the few celebrities who manages to live a relatively low-key life. She’s been married to photographer Daniel Moder for 19 years, and they still appear to be a happy couple.
The pair has three children: 16-year-old twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel, and a 14-year-old son, Henry. Both Roberts and Moder make a concerted effort to keep their kids out of the public eye, which is why they rarely attend high-profile events or share much on social media.
However, Hazel did make an appearance with her father at the Cannes Film Festival in July. They attended the event for the film Flag Day, which was directed by Sean Penn. Moder worked as the cinematographer, though Hazel didn’t have a role in the movie. She was there simply to support her dad, and many were struck by how stunning she looked.
People commented on Hazel’s striking resemblance to her father, though some say she inherited her mother’s nose. With brown hair, blue eyes, and a natural beauty, Hazel turned heads at the event. She wore a soft yellow lace dress with black Mary Jane shoes, her hair styled in a ponytail, and minimal makeup—a simple, elegant look. Moder, clearly proud, spent the evening by her side.
It’s unclear whether Hazel or her brothers will follow in their parents’ footsteps in the entertainment industry, as Roberts and Moder have always prioritized keeping their children out of the spotlight. This aligns with Roberts’s down-to-earth nature, despite her immense success and a net worth reportedly around $250 million. She has always remained humble and grounded.
In 2016, the Roberts-Moder kids had small cameo roles in their mom’s movie Mother’s Day. But Roberts has been candid about her children’s disinterest in her fame. In a 2018 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she recalled a moment when her kids learned about her celebrity status: “I don’t think they’ll ever really understand it. When they found out, they asked, ‘Are you famous?’ And I said, ‘I think a lot of people might know who I am or have seen a movie I’m in.’”
She also reflected on the challenges of parenting in the digital age, noting how different it is compared to her own youth: “Danny and I have no idea what it’s like to be teenagers today. When my kids ask me something, I sometimes have to admit, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about, so I’m going to say no and then figure it out.’”
