Julia Roberts celebrates husband Daniel's birthday with sweet PDA post
Washington, February 1
Actor Julia Roberts marked her husband Daniel "Danny" Moder's birthday with an affectionate public display, sharing a warm post on Instagram.
The Oscar-winning actor celebrated Moder's 57th birthday on Saturday, January 31, by posting a photograph of the two embracing.
"My fav day. My fav man," Roberts, wrote in the caption.
Roberts and Moder first met while working on the 2001 film 'The Mexican' and married a year later in 2002.
Over two decades on, the couple share three children- 21-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and their youngest son Henry, 18.
Despite her global fame, Roberts has consistently kept her family life largely private, occasionally offering glimpses into her marriage through interviews and social media.
In the years since their wedding, the 'Pretty Woman' star has spoken openly about the importance of affection and communication in their relationship.
Ahead of their 20th wedding anniversary in 2022, Roberts said the couple planned to celebrate with "more kissing," adding during an interview, "That's the secret never stop kissing," as per People magazine.
Later that year, she revealed on CBS Sunday Morning that she and Moder write letters to each other, and that she has kept the very first letter he ever wrote to her.
She described it as something she hopes to one day share with her daughter, Hazel.
Most recently, in a December 2023 interview, Roberts praised Moder as the steady centre of their family.
Calling him "the anchor," she said, "It all starts with Danny Moder... the captain of our ship," as quoted by People magazine.

They seem to have a beautiful, grounded relationship. Writing letters to each other is such a sweet and personal touch in this digital age. More power to them!
While it's lovely to see, I sometimes feel these curated social media posts create an unrealistic standard for relationships. Real marriage has its ups and downs, not just perfect birthday posts.
Julia Roberts has always carried herself with such grace. Keeping the family life private yet sharing these little moments feels very balanced. A true icon!
"Never stop kissing" – what a simple yet profound secret to a long marriage! It's all about keeping that spark alive. More couples should focus on these small gestures of affection.
It's refreshing to see a celebrity marriage that has lasted. Their kids are all grown up now! Time flies. Wishing Danny a very happy birthday.
