Julia Roberts has spent decades fiercely protecting the part of her life that matters most to her – her family. The mother of 3 is known for keeping her personal life incredibly private. But now that her children are adults, she seems to be putting down the veil.<\/p>\n

\"Phinnaeus\u00a9 Backgrid\/The Grosby GroupPhinnaeus is 21 now<\/p>\n

After being spotted with her youngest son, Henry<\/a>, last week, Roberts<\/a> was spotted on Tuesday on another rare outing. This time with her oldest son, Phinnaeus \u201cFinn\u201d Moder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"They\u00a9 Backgrid\/The Grosby GroupThey walked arm and arm in Manhattan<\/p>\n

Spotted walking arm-in-arm with Finn, Roberts looked effortlessly cool in a loose black button-down tucked into distressed denim shorts, cream sneakers, and oversized black sunglasses, with a burgundy crossbody bag adding a subtle pop of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finn matched the laid-back energy in an oversized navy graphic tee, olive shorts, striped socks, slip-ons, and dark shades.<\/p>\n

For someone whose career has been defined by iconic on-screen love stories, some of Roberts\u2019 most meaningful relationships have always existed far from cameras.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Daniel\u00a9 Christopher Polk\/2026GGDaniel Moder and Julia Roberts are one of Hollywood’s strongest couples<\/p>\n

The actress has long made it clear that motherhood is the center of her world. While she admitted her acting career was a dream come true, she told CBS in 2022, another was, “The life that I’ve built with my husband.” “The life that we’ve built with our children,” she said, adding, “that’s the best stuff.” “The point is to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.”<\/p>\n

Roberts and Daniel “Danny” Moder have been married since July 4, 2002, and will soon celebrate their 24th wedding anniversary. The couple shares Phinnaeus, his twin sister Hazel, and Henry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to InStyle, they were raised between properties in homes in California, Hawaii, New York City, Taos, and New Mexico. She told Oprah in 2018 that her kids grew up very normally, and she was always at home. “I don’t think they will ever have a true sense of [my fame],” she said. They seem to appreciate the privacy, too. None of the kids have followed in a “nepo baby” route or used their parents’ fame for a social media following and life as influencers.<\/p>\n

Their lives remain private, but we do know they have since left the nest. Henry started school in NYC, and in a 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she admitted she was “sobbing” at first. \u201cIt\u2019s all fun, honestly…I love hanging out with them and spending time with them,\u201d she continued. \u201cFortunately, we have had lots of visits along the way to this empty nest.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Julia Roberts has spent decades fiercely protecting the part of her life that matters most to her –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[430,16696,156,16698,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-496725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-families","tag-entertainment","tag-julia-roberts","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
