It’s a special day in the Roberts-Moder household—Henry, the youngest son of Julia Roberts, has just turned 17! On June 18, 2024, Julia marked this milestone with a heartwarming post on Instagram, something she doesn’t do often since she usually keeps her family life private. But when she does share, it’s always something that leaves fans amazed.
The picture she posted was a beautiful throwback, showing Julia holding baby Henry in her arms. You can see the joy and love in her eyes as she looks down at her son, who, even as a tiny baby, seemed curious and full of life.
Julia’s caption summed up her feelings perfectly: “Happy Birthday, Henry! You are beautiful.” It’s clear that she’s both proud and a little in awe of how much her little boy has grown.
Julia and her husband, Daniel Moder, have always been careful about keeping their children out of the public eye. But every now and then, they share special moments with fans, and these glimpses are always cherished.
Daniel, in particular, loves to post videos of their kids—Henry, along with his older siblings, Hazel and Phinnaeus—having fun together. These videos show just how close this famous family is.
One memorable video that Daniel posted shows Henry showing off his skateboarding skills at a park. The video is in slow motion, capturing Henry as he rides up a ramp on his skateboard. He’s dressed in dark pants and an olive-green t-shirt, and just as he reaches the top, he turns the board around smoothly, bringing his face into view.
The camera zooms in, giving us a close-up of Henry’s bright eyes and handsome face. Daniel shared this video on June 18, 2021, to celebrate Henry’s 14th birthday, proudly captioning it, “Ya Henry.”
Fans couldn’t stop commenting on how much Henry looks like his parents. “He looks just like you. Such a nice kid,” one fan wrote. Another agreed, saying, “He’s exactly like his Dad! Such a lovely boy.” Some even noticed that Henry shares traits with his mom, with one person commenting, “He’s got his mom’s hair.”
The comments were filled with fans joking about how the Moder kids seem to take after their dad more than their mom, with one saying, “This family obviously has no Roberts genes at all!”
Daniel has shared other photos of Henry that have also caught fans’ attention. In one picture from 2018, Henry is seen posing casually by a lighthouse. His long hair falls naturally as he looks down at the camera, and he’s dressed in a cool, laid-back style. Daniel captioned the photo, “Look closely to see the star-spangled shorts.
One cool young person… Happy Fourth of July from a lighthouse near the Cape.” Fans were quick to compliment Henry, with one saying, “Handsome Henry,” and another noting, “He’s got Julia’s eyes.”
While fans love to discuss who Henry and his siblings look like, one thing is clear—Julia adores her kids. She’s often talked about how much she loves being a mom, even more than her successful career.
In an interview promoting her movie “Ticket to Paradise,” Julia was asked how she balances her career and motherhood. She responded with a smile, “When I’m not working, that’s my full-time job.” She admitted that while it’s not always easy, it’s something she’s truly passionate about.
Julia also has a special bond with Henry, who she calls her “breakfast buddy.” She mentioned in the interview, “I love breakfast, and it’s my favorite meal of the day. My younger son Henry is my morning partner.”
The interviewer, knowing how much Julia loves her breakfast routine, joked that the interview was keeping her from her morning meal with Henry. Laughing, Julia replied, “Yes, that’s true! We do love our breakfast!”
But Henry isn’t the only child Julia dotes on. She also has a deep love for her twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel. Julia was especially proud when Hazel, at 16, joined her father at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival to support his film “Flag Day.”
The father-daughter duo captured everyone’s attention, with Hazel looking stylish in a yellow dress with floral lace embroidery and black Mary Janes. Her father, Daniel, looked sharp in a black suit.
Julia couldn’t help but praise Hazel for her confidence and poise at the event. She even shared a funny story about how Hazel insisted on not wearing eyeliner, saying with a chuckle, “That girl is unique.” Julia couldn’t help but admire her daughter’s innocence and strong sense of self.
When photos of Hazel and Daniel at Cannes surfaced, fans were quick to comment on how beautiful Hazel is, though many pointed out how different she looks from her famous mom.
“She’s lovely, but you’d never guess who her mom is… they don’t look alike at all,” one fan commented. Others pointed out that Hazel seems to take after her dad more than Julia, but they all agreed that Hazel is stunning.
While the Roberts-Moder kids might not look exactly like their mom, one thing is certain—Julia’s love for them is beyond measure. Whether she’s sharing a rare family photo or talking about their special moments, Julia Roberts shows that at the end of the day, her family is her greatest treasure.
