Love you so much.” The accompanying photograph depicted Roberts laughing joyously as Moder affectionately kissed her shoulder, standing beside a cake embellished with numerous candles.
Roberts and Moder’s love story began on the set of the film “The Mexican” in 2000. Roberts, who played the lead role opposite Brad Pitt, first crossed paths with Moder, who was working as the film’s cameraman. Their connection blossomed over time, and they eventually married in a private ceremony at Roberts’ picturesque 82-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico, on July 4, 2002.
This past July, the couple celebrated a significant milestone, marking their 24th wedding anniversary. Reflecting on their years together, Roberts shared a joyful selfie on Instagram, resting her head on Moder’s shoulder while enjoying the warm sunshine. She captioned the post with the words, “TWENTY ❤️🤍💙 FOUR. MORE MORE MORE 🤩,” highlighting her fondness for the long-lasting partnership.
Roberts has often praised her marriage to Moder, calling it a pivotal moment in her life. During an appearance on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop podcast in 2018, she described marrying Moder as the “best decision” she has ever made. “Getting married to Danny. That was the first, like, my life will never be the same in the most incredible, indescribable way,” she said, reflecting on how their union transformed her life.
The couple has three children together, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, aged 21, and their youngest son, Henry, who is now 19. Balancing their family life amid dual careers in the spotlight has allowed Roberts and Moder to create a strong family unit that thrives on love and mutual respect.
As they continue to navigate life together, Roberts and Moder remain an inspiring example of a lasting Hollywood relationship. Their affection for one another is palpable, and their ability to celebrate each other’s milestones reflects the depth of their bond.
