Julia Roberts warmed the hearts of fans once again by sharing a set of rarely seen childhood pictures of her twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, in a social platform where she occasionally posts personal moments. The beloved actress chose the meaningful occasion of their 21st birthday to unveil the sweet throwbacks.
The photos — usually kept far from the public eye — show the twins as toddlers, sitting in their little high chairs while Roberts reminisces about how quickly the years have flown by.
In her affectionate caption, she wrote: “These little life-changers were once one year old — and now they’re 21! It all went by in a blink. Happy birthday, my loves.” The images were featured on the MAX channel. Fans were instantly overwhelmed with nostalgia and admiration, flooding the comments with congratulations.
Fellow actors and friends added their warm messages as well. Roberts shares Hazel and Phinnaeus — along with their 18-year-old brother, Henry — with her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder.
The couple has been together for more than twenty years and is known for fiercely protecting their children’s privacy, rarely allowing them into the spotlight. Just a day earlier, Roberts had spoken about her parenting philosophy in a conversation with George Clooney.
She admitted that she and Danny were always “the strict parents,” famously being among the last to give their kids phones. “This is the boundary of your life, and it doesn’t change…
That’s what creates stability,” she explained. Roberts believes that consistency and shared values with her husband are what make their children feel grounded and secure.
And by the way, Roberts recently confessed that there is one particular actress who leaves her completely starstruck — even to the point of tears. More on that story is available here.
