Julia Roberts is one of the rare celebrities who lives a relatively ordinary existence. She has been married to cinematographer Daniel Moder for 19 years, and the couple appears to be extremely happy.
he couple has three children: twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, both 16, and a son, Henry, 14.
Both Roberts and Moder try to keep their children out of the public eye, which is why we rarely see them attending public events or sharing images on social media.
However, we saw Hazel in the presence of her father at the Cannes Film Festival in France in July.
The two were there to promote the film Flag Day. Moder was the choreographer, and Sean Penn, was the director.
While Penn’s children played characters in the film, Hazel did not, but she attended the ceremony to support her father’s efforts.
Hazel’s amazing beauty drew everyone’s attention.
While some claim she inherited her mother’s nose, many believe she’s a striking likeness of her handsome father, so it’s no surprise she’s attractive herself. Hazel has blonde hair and blue eyes.
She was dressed in a soft yellow long lace gown and black Mary Jane heels. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her make-up was modest. A true woman!
Moder was clearly proud of his girl and spent the entire evening by her side.
Whether Hazel or her siblings are interested in pursuing professions in the film industry is unknown because their parents rarely speak about their children and prefer to keep them out of the spotlight, which is understandable given Roberts’ grounded nature.
Despite her great income, which is reported to be approximately $250 million, she has never acted like a diva and has always maintained a humble demeanor.
In 2016, Hazel and her brothers played minor roles in Robert’s film Mother’s Day.
In 2018, Roberts told Harper’s Bazaar about her children:
“I don’t think they’ll ever understand (my fame). I think I told you once that when they started figuring it out, they were like, ‘You’re famous?’”
“And I said, ‘I think a lot of people might have seen the movie that I’m in or might know who I am.’”
She then discussed the issues that today’s youngsters experience, saying, “It’s different than when I might have said to my mom, ‘Mom, you don’t know what it’s like to be a teenager today,’ even though she probably did.”
Danny and I have no idea what it’s like to be an adolescent today. When my children ask me questions, I just tell them, ‘I’m going to say no and check into it because I have no idea what we’re talking about.’”
My Husband Caught Me in Bed with Another Man but I Didn’t Cheat On Him — Discovering Who the Man Was Floored Me
When Eloise stumbles upon her husband Ben’s twin brother in their bed, the startling discovery sets off a chain of events that unveils hidden family ties and unspoken bonds. As she navigates this newfound reality, will it strengthen her relationships or lead to unforeseen complications?
I’m Eloise, and I work in the hospital as a nurse. My schedule includes night and day shifts, which can be exhausting, but I love my job.

My husband, Ben, and I have been married for two years now. We met in college during a volunteer program at a community health fair. He was kind and had this infectious energy that drew me in. We hit it off instantly and have been inseparable ever since.
Ben works as an EMT, so he understands the demands of my job better than anyone. We’ve always supported each other through the odd hours and the long nights. He’s my rock, and I couldn’t imagine my life without him.

We share a small apartment close to the city, and even though our schedules are hectic, we make it work. Our life together is filled with love, laughter, and the occasional date night whenever we can squeeze it in.
Last night, I came home around 11 p.m. after a grueling shift. I was exhausted and just wanted to crawl into bed. As I opened the bedroom door and switched on the light, I saw Ben sleeping there.

I was surprised because he was supposed to be on a night shift. Not wanting to wake him, I quickly turned the light off.
“Ben?” I whispered, but he didn’t stir. “I guess your shift got canceled,” I murmured to myself, feeling a bit relieved to see him home.
I took a shower to wash off the day, made myself a sandwich since I was starving, and then watched some YouTube videos to unwind. Finally, feeling the weight of the day catching up with me, I headed to bed.

I kissed Ben gently on the cheek, whispered a soft “goodnight,” and fell asleep almost immediately.
At around 5 a.m., I was jolted awake by someone yelling, “What the HELL is going on?”
Groggy and disoriented, I struggled to open my eyes. Standing at the bedroom door was Ben, looking furious.
“WHY ARE YOU YELLING?” I managed to ask, my voice thick with sleep.
“You dare to ask me?! What is he doing here?” Ben shouted, pointing behind me.

Confused, I turned my head and felt a chill run through me. Lying next to me, also wide awake now, was…Ben? No, it couldn’t be. My mind raced, trying to make sense of how Ben could be both in the bed and at the door.
The man in the bed stirred and opened his eyes, mirroring my confusion. It was like seeing double. Panic gripped my heart as the reality of the situation sank in. This wasn’t Ben. This was someone who looked exactly like him.

“Who are you?” I demanded, my voice quivering with fear and confusion.
The man sat up, rubbing his eyes. “I’m Tom,” he said slowly, clearly just as bewildered as I was. “Ben’s brother.”
My jaw dropped. Ben had a twin brother? He had never mentioned this before. Memories flooded back — Ben had said something about his brother visiting, but I had been so caught up with work that it completely slipped my mind.

“I left you a message about Tom coming,” Ben said, his anger giving way to exasperation. “But I guess your phone’s battery died, and you never got it.”
I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, my hands shaking as I turned it on. The battery icon blinked red. Sure enough, there were several missed messages from Ben explaining the situation.

The shock slowly began to wear off as I processed what had happened. Tom, Ben’s twin brother who lived in Australia, had come to visit. I had never met him in person before, and in my exhausted state, I had mistaken him for Ben.
“I’m so sorry,” I said, feeling a mixture of relief and embarrassment. “I had no idea.”
Tom looked just as apologetic. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I was just so tired after my flight that I went straight to bed.”

Ben sighed, rubbing his temples. “Well, this is certainly a way to start the day. But now that we know what’s going on, let’s just forget about it and go back to sleep.”
Tom nodded in agreement, and I couldn’t help but laugh a little at the absurdity of the situation. We all needed some rest, and tomorrow, we’d have a lot to talk about.

As I lay back down, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. This was a misunderstanding, not the end of my marriage. And as crazy as it was, it made me appreciate my family even more.
The next morning, I woke up to the smell of coffee brewing and the sound of voices in the kitchen. Stretching and yawning, I made my way downstairs to find Ben and Tom deep in conversation.
“Morning,” I said, sliding into a seat at the table.
“Morning, Eloise,” Tom replied with a warm smile. “Sorry again for the confusion last night.”

“No, really, it’s fine,” I said, waving it off. “I just feel silly for not recognizing you weren’t Ben.”
Ben chuckled. “I guess I can’t blame you. We are identical after all.”
Tom grinned. “Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve been mistaken for you, though.”
“So, Tom,” I started, pouring myself a cup of coffee, “what brings you here from Australia? I thought you were swamped with work.”
Tom’s expression turned serious. “Actually, that’s part of the reason I’m here. I needed a break. Things have been… tough lately.”
Ben leaned forward, concern etched on his face. “Tough how?”

Tom sighed. “Work has been really stressful, and… well, I broke up with my girlfriend a few months ago. I just needed to get away, clear my head.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” I said softly. “Breakups are never easy.”
Tom nodded. “Yeah, it’s been rough. But being here, seeing you two, it helps. Reminds me what’s important.”
Ben reached over and gave his brother a reassuring pat on the back. “You’re always welcome here, Tom. Stay as long as you need.”

The rest of the day passed in a blur of catching up and sharing stories. Tom and Ben were inseparable, reminiscing about their childhood and filling me in on all the twin antics they used to get up to.
It was heartwarming to see them together, and I felt a deep sense of family bonding.

As the days went by, Tom settled into our routine. He helped around the house, joined us for meals, and even came along on a few of our date nights, turning them into fun family outings. One evening, after a particularly enjoyable dinner at our favorite restaurant, we decided to take a walk along the river.
“This place is beautiful,” Tom said, taking in the view. “I can see why you guys love it here.”
“Yeah, it’s our little escape,” Ben replied, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

We walked in comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds being the gentle lapping of the water and the distant hum of city life. Finally, Tom spoke up again.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said, stopping to look at us. “Maybe it’s time for a change. Maybe I should move back here, be closer to family.”
Ben’s eyes lit up. “Really? That would be amazing!”
I smiled. “We’d love to have you here, Tom. Family is everything.”

Tom nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face. “Yeah, it is. And after everything that’s happened, I realize how much I need you guys.”
As we continued our walk, I felt a deep sense of contentment. The misunderstanding that had started with confusion and fear had brought us closer together. Family, in all its forms, was what mattered most.
When we got back home, we sat around the living room, talking late into the night. The bond between us had grown stronger, and I knew that no matter what challenges came our way, we would face them together.

Ben squeezed my hand, and I looked at him, my heart full. “I love you,” he said softly.
“I love you too,” I replied, knowing that our love, our family, would always find a way to overcome any obstacle.
Tom smiled at us, a look of peace on his face. “Here’s to new beginnings,” he said, raising his glass.

“To new beginnings,” we echoed, clinking our glasses together. And as we sat there, surrounded by love and laughter, I knew that this was just the start of a new chapter, one filled with hope, joy, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
Sometimes, life surprises us in ways we never thought possible. Don’t you agree?
