Julia Roberts is one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, yet she remains deeply private about her family life. She and her husband, Danny Moder, have been married for over 20 years and rarely share glimpses of their personal lives. Their three children are almost never featured on Roberts’s social media accounts, keeping their childhood away from the public eye.
However, on June 18, Roberts broke her usual silence to celebrate a special milestone. She shared a rare photo of her youngest son, Henry, in honor of his 18th birthday. Accompanying the post was a heartfelt message: “In the blink of a joyful eye, this beacon of a boy is 18,” along with lightning bolt emojis and hashtags #goldenboy and #goldenbirthday. The image was paired with the uplifting Beatles song, “Here Comes the Sun.”
The photo featured a younger Henry wearing a white t-shirt and green hoodie, his blond hair falling to his shoulders much like his father’s. Within moments, celebrity friends such as Jennifer Aniston and Rita Wilson filled the comments with warm birthday wishes and congratulations. The post quickly became a cherished moment for fans and friends alike.
Roberts also shares 20-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and previously marked Henry’s 17th birthday with a baby photo. Though she keeps her children largely out of the spotlight, Roberts once revealed on The Tonight Show that Henry is enjoying being the only child at home, while admitting he sometimes misses his siblings. This glimpse into their family life shows how much she cherishes these private moments.
