Julia Roberts gushes about hubby of 20 years and shares tip for a happy marriage
Hollywood actors and actresses usually happen to start dating other celebrities or people they work with on set, and it’s normal because they tend to spend so much time together while filming.
However, while some of these romances lead to weddings, in many cases the couples end up filing a divorce.
One of the reasons that possibly lead to Hollywood breakups could be too much exposure.
You see, the press can get nosey about famous couples, fans often follow them everywhere, and others spread rumors about them many times without even having any evidence.
And that’s exactly why 13 years of marriage can look “like fifty in Chicago”, as “Extra’s” Mario Lopez once told Julia Roberts.
Roberts and her husband are actually one of the most inspiring celebrity couples and they have never advertised their marriage- not once in the 20 years they have been married.

The couple, who recently celebrated their anniversary, first met in the spring of 2000, while Roberts was starring in “The Mexican” with Brad Pitt, and Danny Moder was a cameraman for the same film.
At the time, Moder was still married to celebrity makeup artist Vera Steimberg, while the Erin Brockovich star was dating Benjamin Bratt.
Less than a year later, Roberts split up with her partner of four years, while by early 2002 Moder had finalized his divorce with Steimberg.

As Roberts has explained in an interview, breaking up with their partners at the time had nothing to do with the two falling in love.
But it seems it had all to do with them being more peaceful inside and ready to fall in love with someone else.
“He sorted his whole thing out, separate and apart from me,” explained to Oprah. “And I sorted my life out, separate and apart from him. I think that’s the only reason we were able to ultimately fall in love with each other and be together.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 2002, today have three children together- twin daughters and a younger son.
As Roberts shared with her fans in an interview a few years ago, the secret to a long happy marriage is kissing.
And it looks like it has worked for her and her husband.

The two never show off their relationship and they hardly ever get caught by paparazzi- especially when they are with their children whom they want to protect.
What is indicative of their wish to keep their private life- well- private, is the fact that Moder himself first posted a photo of him and his wife on social media in 2014, after 12 years of marriage.

For Roberts, Moder is simply her “favorite person on earth”, while their marriage and their life with their children is her “dream come true”.
As she has explained in an interview with CBS, she loves being an actress and being praised for her talent, but nothing can really compare to how blessed she feels when she returns home after a long day to her beloved husband and her children.
She said:
“And that’s the best stuff. … The point is to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.”
