Julia Roberts, honored with an honorary César in 2025, has seamlessly balanced her successful acting career with her role as a mother. With three children, Phinnaeus, Hazel, and Henry, she has always prioritized their privacy while cherishing the joys of motherhood. Despite her global fame, she remains deeply dedicated to her family, embracing the journey with love and devotion.
Recently recognized at the 50th César ceremony at the Olympia, Julia took a moment to reflect on what she considers her most important role—being a mother. Although she has spent decades in the spotlight, she has worked hard to keep her family life as private as possible.
Known for her iconic performances in films like Pretty Woman and Notting Hill, Julia has been married to cinematographer Daniel Moder since 2002. Their love story began on the set of The Mexican, and together they have built a life centered around their three children. Twins Phinnaeus and Hazel were born in 2004, followed by their younger brother Henry in 2007.
Despite the intense media attention surrounding her career, Julia and her family have remained close, keeping their personal lives away from the public eye. Now 20 years old, Phinnaeus and Hazel are pursuing their studies at university, a milestone that Julia finds both exciting and deeply meaningful. Having never attended university herself, she has expressed immense joy in witnessing her children embrace this experience. In a 2023 interview, she shared how proud she is to see them thrive in this new chapter of their lives.
Julia has always prioritized being a present and supportive mother. She has spoken about her love for being at home, ensuring her children feel supported without overly structuring their lives. No matter how bright the Hollywood lights shine, her family remains at the heart of everything she does.
