AceShowbiz - Julia Roberts, 56, and Danny Moder, 55, who met on the set of the 2001 film "The Mexican, have created a strong and lasting partnership that spans over two decades. In her Instagram post, Roberts captioned the picture with "TWENTY TWO YEARS" and added bride, groom, and American flag emojis, touching upon their secret wedding on July 4, 2002, at her Taos, New Mexico ranch.
Relatives and friends, including notable figures like George Clooney and Brad Pitt, were invited to what they believed was a simple Independence Day celebration. Donning a black strappy dress and her husband in a coordinating black suit with a striped shirt, the couple looked stunning in their nostalgic anniversary photo.
Julia and Danny's romantic journey began uniquely, with both being in different relationships at the time they met. Over time, each resolved their previous relationships separately before coming together, which Roberts believes was crucial for their union.
Their private wedding was also low-key - with Julia choosing a pale pink cotton halter dress embroidered with pearls and antique beads, and Danny opting for a red ruffled shirt and tan pants.
Aside from their loving partnership, the couple has grown their family and are proud parents to twins Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia, 19, and a 17-year-old son named Henry Daniel. Throughout the years, they've maintained a relatively private relationship, but Roberts couldn't help but publicly express her admiration for Moder on several occasions.
During an appearance on the "Today" show in December 2023, Roberts referred to Moder as the "anchor" of their family, stating, "It all starts with Danny Moder. He is our person and, in the most beautiful way, the captain of our ship." She added, "For me, understanding how deeply felt life could be really started with him."
Roberts also shared her secret to a successful marriage with E! News, jokingly revealing it to be "making out. Lots of making out." When separated by work, the couple writes letters to each other, a tradition they've maintained since the beginning of their relationship.
Julia Roberts and Danny Moder's marriage stands as a testament to the power of love and commitment, and it's clear that their journey together has only deepened their bond.
