At 56, Julia Roberts finds herself in contemplation as her twins, Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter, turn 19. In a simple yet sentimental gesture, the iconic actress shares a throwback photo in black and white, portraying the infant twins seated on her laps. The accompanying caption, devoid of any embellishments, merely states, “✨✨19✨✨ There are no words for the joy, the fun, the wild rumpus of life together 💕.”
The actress, known for her roles in films like Notting Hill, is not only a mother to Hazel and Phinnaeus but also to a 16-year-old son named Henry Daniel, born of her marriage to husband Danny Moder.
In a candid interview with Hoda Kotb on Today, joined by George Clooney, Roberts delves into the perennial concerns that accompany parenthood, acknowledging the occasional fear of making mistakes. The actress even shared instances when she directly communicated with her children, admitting, “Sometimes I get gripped with fear of blowing it. And sometimes I’ve just said to my kids, ‘So today, me as a mom? Can we just take that off the board because I blew it.'”
In another interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Roberts sheds light on her evolving perspective, emphasizing the significance of family life. “The life that I’ve built with my husband,” she stated, “The life that we’ve built with our children. And that’s the best stuff. … The point is to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.”
For Roberts, family triumphs over the glitz and glam of a Hollywood career, a sentiment she has embraced in recent years. The grayscale throwback and her straightforward words provide a glimpse into a celebrated actress finding fulfillment in the simple, genuine moments of life with her loved ones.
