Julia Roberts' Love Journey 💖

Julia Roberts's love story is a fascinating journey, filled with Hollywood romances, high-profile breakups, and, ultimately, finding quiet family happiness away from the limelight.

Julia Roberts' Love Story: From Hollywood Bride to Happy Wife
Julia Roberts, long dubbed the "runaway bride" not only for her iconic role but also for her string of broken engagements and affairs, found true love where she least expected—on set, and not with an actor.

The Era of High-Profile Romances

In the late '80s and '90s, at the height of her fame, Julia was in the spotlight thanks to her relationships with some of Hollywood's most famous actors.

Kiefer Sutherland: One of her most dramatic romances. They met on the set of Flatliners and planned a lavish wedding in 1991. However, just three days before the wedding, Julia called off the wedding and, according to rumors, flew to Ireland with their mutual friend, actor Jason Patric. This episode cemented her image as the "runaway bride" for years to come.

Lyle Lovett: In 1993, to the surprise of many, Roberts impulsively married country singer Lyle Lovett. They met just three weeks before the wedding. The marriage was short-lived: due to their busy work schedules, they spent little time together and divorced less than two years later, although they remained good friends.

Benjamin Bratt: For nearly four years, from 1998 to 2001, Julia was in a relationship with actor Benjamin Bratt. They were one of Hollywood's most beautiful and talked-about couples. When she accepted her Oscar for Erin Brockovich, she gave a touching speech thanking him. However, they broke up soon after, officially due to press pressure and scheduling conflicts.

Fateful Meeting: Danny Moder

Julia met her future husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, in 2000 on the set of The Mexican, in which she starred opposite Brad Pitt. At the time, both were single: Roberts was dating Bratt, and Moder was married to makeup artist Vera Steimberg.

They had an instant connection. Julia later described this meeting as a tectonic shift in her life. She said that with him, her life changed forever. Their romance began after they both ended their previous relationships. This period was difficult and accompanied by intense media attention, particularly regarding Moder's divorce.

Quiet Family Happiness

On July 4, 2002, Independence Day, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder married. The wedding was a secret affair held at her ranch in Taos, New Mexico. Guests were invited to a party, and only upon arrival did they learn they would be witnesses.

This marriage proved surprisingly strong and happy by Hollywood standards. They have three children: twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Finneas Walter (born in 2004), and their youngest son, Henry Daniel (born in 2007).

The secret of their long union, according to Julia herself, is that Danny is her "favorite person" and "reliable support." They deliberately lead a very private life, spending most of their time on their ranch in New Mexico, far from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. Julia Roberts, one of the world's greatest movie stars, has found her ideal role—that of a loving wife and mother, and this, she admits, is where her greatest happiness lies.
