Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts recently marked a significant family milestone as her fraternal twins Hazel and Phinnaeus celebrated their 21st birthday. The Academy Award-winning actress shared a heartfelt tribute on social media that quickly captured fans' attention.
Special Birthday Tribute From A-List Mom
On Friday, Julia Roberts took to her social media accounts to post an adorable throwback photograph celebrating her children's coming of age. The image showed Hazel and Phinnaeus as toddlers sitting together in high chairs, highlighting just how much time has passed since their early childhood.
The nostalgic photo appeared to be from one of their earlier birthday celebrations, capturing a precious sibling moment. Hazel could be seen beaming brightly at the camera while Phinnaeus gazed at his sister with a confused yet utterly charming expression. Both children had spilled food on their table, adding to the authentic parenting moment that many families could relate to.
Rare Glimpse Into Private Family Life
The social media post carried particular significance because Julia Roberts and her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, are known for fiercely protecting their children's privacy. The couple rarely shares glimpses of their family life on public platforms, making this birthday tribute especially meaningful for fans who have watched Roberts' family grow from afar.
Alongside the touching photograph, Roberts wrote a heartfelt caption that read: "These game changers, life alterers, [heart] expanders once were 1 and now are 21! That was fast. Happy Birthday my Dears." The message perfectly captured the bittersweet emotion many parents feel watching their children reach adulthood.
Julia Roberts' Family Dynamics
Julia Roberts and Danny Moder have built a strong family foundation since marrying in 2002. The power couple shares three children together - twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, who just turned 21, and their younger son Henry, who is currently 18 years old.
In October, the Pretty Woman star appeared on 'The Late Show with Steven Colbert' where she opened up about her evolving family dynamics and how things have changed in recent years. She expressed her genuine enjoyment of spending time with her nearly-grown children, stating: "I love hanging out with them and spending time with them. Fortunately, we have had lots of visits along the way of this empty nest."
The Moder family has successfully maintained their privacy despite Roberts' global fame, choosing to raise their children away from the Hollywood spotlight. This recent birthday post serves as a rare and cherished window into the loving family life the actress has cultivated with her husband over two decades of marriage.
