Julia Roberts in rare picture with all three of her grown-up kids

Despite her A-list status, Julia Roberts usually manages to keep her three kids well away from the spotlight.

They grow up so fast.

Julia Roberts’ cinematographer husband, Danny Moder, gave a rare look at their three children in his Mother’s Day tribute to the famous actress.

Moder, 56, shared a picture on Sunday of Roberts, 57, surrounded by her twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 20, and son Henry, 17, reports the New York Post.

“Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys,” Moder captioned the post.

Fans commented on the tribute and gushed over Roberts’ happy family.

“They are all grown up! Wow time flies,” one person wrote.

“Lovely photo, beautiful family,” someone else said.

A third person commented, “Bunch of cuties! Yeah — mums do make the coolest stuff!”

“What a beautiful family! Mother at the centre of course, surrounded by love. As it should be,” a different fan wrote.

Roberts met her husband on the set of The Mexican in 2000 and they got married two years later. The couple welcomed their twins in 2004 and their younger son in 2007.

The “Pretty Woman” actress has kept her kids out of the spotlight, though she did make an exception for her twins’ 19th birthday in 2023.

She shared a black-and-white throwback Polaroid of herself with Phinnaeus and Hazel at the time, writing in her caption, “There are no words for the joy, the fun, the wild rumpus of life together.”

The following month, Roberts spoke to Extra about why she posted her twins on social media.

“It is something to be celebrated, and I know Instagram is a place where people like to share happy things and I love them so much and I really did just happen to come upon this cute picture and I thought … That allows me to share something as a proud parent of them without infringing on their privacy at all,” she explained at the time.

Roberts is also private about her relationship with Moder, occasionally celebrating their wedding anniversaries on Instagram.

In 2022, Roberts told CBS Sunday Morning that being a successful actor is “not my only dream come true.”

“The life that I’ve built with my husband. The life that we’ve built with our children,” she gushed. “And that’s the best stuff, to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.”

In a different 2022 interview with the New York Times, Roberts said she’s chosen to prioritise her family over her career.

“I just take it all as it comes,” she shared. “I try to be super present and not plan, and I don’t have any upcoming acting jobs. Getting back to a routine feels really good.”

Roberts added: “And I love being at home, I love being a mum.”
