Still thriving! Julia Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder have been going strong for over 20 years.
As a star, the Pretty Woman actress had many relationships in Hollywood : Lyle Lovett, Matthew Perry, and Liam Neeson. She was even a runaway bride to Keifer Sutherland just days before their wedding.
But the one relationship that’s stuck has been the one to Danny. That has to count for something! Here, we take a closer look at their beautiful love story.
You all know Julia Roberts.
She is one of the most famous actresses in the world, after all. But people don’t know too much about her relationship with Danny Moder.
Thankfully I am here to help you. Let’s walk through their story of love, shall we?
Spring 200: They meet
The pair met on the set of The Mexican where Julia was the star, Danny the cameraman. At the time, though, Julia was dating Benjamin Bratt while Danny was married to Vera Steimberg.
Due to these circumstances, there have been reports that Julia broke up Danny’s marriage.
Roberts was famously photographed wearing a homemade t-shirt at the time that read, “A Low Vera.”
This was allegedly a message about Danny’s wife, Vera, refusing to grant Danny a divorce so he and Julia could get married.
Roberts has always adamantly denied claims about being the mistress.
“I’m an easy person to point the finger at — ‘she did it’ — and I see that,”
Roberts said in December 2003. “I don’t begrudge people the easy finger-point. It just doesn’t happen to be so.”
July 2002: They get married
After Danny was granted his divorce, the pair were in the clear to cement their love.
Their wedding was on July 4 at Roberts’ ranch in Taos, New Mexico. The wedding was a top-secret affair.
Guests were being told that they were celebrating Independence Day with the couple.
Honestly, I am kind of obsessed with that idea. I think more people should send out invites without telling people what the actual occasion is.
November 2004: They welcome twins
The couple was seeing double when they had their twins , Hazel and Phinnaeus. They also have another son named Henry. You won’t see much of them, though, since the family is notoriously private.
Heck, her kids don’t really understand how famous she is.
“I don’t think they will ever have a true sense of that,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2018. “When they were starting to figure it out, it was like, ‘You’re famous?'”
“And I said, ‘I think a lot of people might have seen the movie that I’m in or might know who I am.'”
“Maybe an hour goes by. ‘Are you more famous than Taylor Swift?'”
November 2018: Julia gushes about her marriage
Paying a non-celeb really paid off. “He truly, to this day, to this minute is just my favorite human,” she said on Gwyneth Paltrow’s podcast.
She added that their connection “just gets deeper” as time progresses.
“I’m more interested in what he has to say or his point of view just than anybody.”
She continued: “Really, we’re so lucky in that way. We just really, really like each other and we just enjoy each other’s company.”
July 2021: They celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary
The Pretty Woman posted a rare selfie of her and her husband to mark the big occasion. “19 years. Just getting started!” she wrote in the caption of a photo of them snuggling on the beach.
Danny also celebrated the big day!
“Today we start our 20th year of marriage,” he wrote. “This photo was on a dusty road before that big idea …”
“Just holding on to this beautiful girl one day at a time.”
“One epic day at a time,” he concluded.
Seriously, I’m obsessed with them, and so happy that they are LIVING their best d**n lives!
