Julia Roberts, the iconic Hollywood star, recently celebrated a special milestone—her youngest son, Henry, turned 17 on June 18, 2024. Julia, who usually keeps her family life private, surprised everyone by posting a beautiful picture of Henry on Instagram.
This rare moment delighted fans, as Julia and her husband, Daniel Moder, have only occasionally shared glimpses of their children. But whenever they do, people are left in awe of how wonderful their family is.
The birthday post was filled with love and pride. In the photo, Julia, the famous “Pretty Woman” actress, is seen gazing down at baby Henry with eyes full of joy and affection. Henry, just a tiny baby in the picture, seems captivated by something off-camera, cradled safely in his mother’s arms. It’s a moment of pure love and tenderness.
Julia added a heartfelt caption that captured her amazement at how much her son has grown: “Happy Birthday, Henry! You are beautiful.” It’s clear she’s both proud and astonished at how quickly her little boy has turned into a remarkable young man.
Even though Julia and Daniel are protective of their children’s privacy, they sometimes share special family moments online, giving fans a glimpse into their lives. Daniel, in particular, has shared videos of their children—Henry, and his older siblings, Hazel and Phinnaeus—having fun and making memories together. These posts show the joy and love that fill their home.
One memorable video that Daniel posted on Instagram showed Henry at a skate park, showing off his impressive skateboarding skills. In the slow-motion clip, Henry glides up a ramp, dressed in dark pants and an olive-green t-shirt. At the top, he smoothly turns his skateboard, bringing his face into view.
As the camera zooms in, Henry’s bright eyes and handsome features are highlighted. Daniel shared this cool footage on June 18, 2021, to celebrate Henry’s 14th birthday, proudly captioning it, “Ya Henry.”
The video quickly drew comments from fans, who couldn’t help but notice how much Henry resembles his parents. “He looks just like you. Such a nice kid,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “He’s exactly like his Dad! Such a lovely boy.” Others pointed out his resemblance to Julia, with one person saying, “He’s got his mom’s hair.” It’s clear that Henry is a perfect mix of his parents, though some fans jokingly noted, “This family obviously has no Roberts genes at all!”
This wasn’t the first time people noticed how much Henry looks like his famous parents. In a 2018 photo that Daniel shared, Henry is seen posing casually near a lighthouse. His long hair falls freely as he looks down at the camera, exuding a cool and relaxed vibe. 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 couldn’t help but admire Henry, with one commenting, “Handsome Henry,” and another noting, “He’s got Julia’s eyes.”
Despite the discussions about who Henry and his siblings resemble, there’s one thing everyone agrees on: Julia is a proud and loving mother. She often talks about how much she loves her children and how being a mom is the most important job in her life.
In an interview promoting her movie “Ticket to Paradise,” Julia was asked how she balances her career and motherhood. She replied, “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 deeply passionate about.
Julia also shared a special bond with Henry, calling him 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 even joked that the interview was keeping her away from her breakfast 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 dapper in a black suit.
Julia praised Hazel for her poise and confidence during the event, even recalling a playful argument they had about Hazel’s decision not to wear eyeliner. “That girl is unique,” Julia said with a smile. “Her innocence is just so lovely.”
When photos of Hazel and Daniel at Cannes surfaced, fans were quick to comment on Hazel’s beauty, though many noted how different she looked 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 how much Hazel resembles her father, but still praised her for being beautiful.
While Julia and her children might not all look exactly alike, the love and pride she feels for them are undeniable. Whether it’s sharing a rare family photo or talking about their special moments, Julia Roberts shows us all that, at the end of the day, family is what matters most.
