Julia Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder, share twins, who have each developed unique personalities and life paths. Although they prefer to keep their children out of the spotlight, they sometimes offer a glimpse into their personal lives on social media.
Julia Roberts recently offered a refreshing glimpse into her life, bridging the glamour of Hollywood with the warmth of family ties. Amidst her illustrious career, Roberts finds inspiration and joy not just in her professional achievements but also in the personal milestones she shares with her family. A testament to this is her deep admiration for Elizabeth Taylor, not just as an icon of style but as an influence on her appreciation for the artistry behind jewelry.
Roberts shared her awe of Taylor, saying, “I think the first time anybody sees Elizabeth Taylor, you kind of go, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ … Of course, you can appreciate the craftsmanship and just the dazzle of it. It’s so magical.” This admiration for Taylor’s iconic style has not only shaped Roberts’ perspective on jewelry but has also trickled down to her daughter, Hazel, albeit in a distinctly unique manner.
At 19, Hazel is carving out her own path in the world of fashion and accessories. Roberts revealed, “She’s more bohemian in her aesthetic,” highlighting a divergence from her own tastes yet sharing an intrinsic love for jewelry. Despite their differing styles, Hazel enjoys the privilege of raiding her mom’s closet, a gesture Roberts warmly affirms with a “She can, yeah!
This intimate peek into their relationship extends beyond fashion into heartfelt moments of celebration. Recently, Roberts took to social media to post a loving Valentine’s Day tribute to her husband, Danny Moder, sharing her anticipation for a beautiful date night. “My husband just wrapped a movie and we get in the car and drive home together, so that will be nice,” she noted, weaving her professional life with personal joy seamlessly.
Central to Roberts’ narrative is a fierce dedication to her family’s privacy. “We try to protect our kids. We just want to have our family life and not have that intruded upon,” she explains. This protective stance is a cornerstone of her philosophy as a mother and a public figure, balancing the limelight with the sanctity of family life.
The ethos of sharing yet protecting is evident in Roberts’ approach to social media. Reflecting on sharing photos of Hazel on her 19th birthday, Roberts conveyed, “It is something to be celebrated, and I know Instagram is a place where people like to share happy things and I love them so much and I really did just happen to come upon this cute picture and I thought… That allows me to share something as a proud parent of them without infringing on their privacy at all.”

Hazel made her parents proud, especially her mother, who said her daughter carried herself well. Upon recalling the rare moment, Julia praised her daughter and joked about their back and forth over her look and assertiveness with not wanting to wear eyeliner:

When fans saw pictures of Hazel on her dad’s arm, many complimented the young lady on how she looked and called her pretty but noted the difference in physical appearance between Hazel and Julia. One fan commented:
“She’s lovely but you’d never guess who her mum is…they really are not alike at all.”

While others agreed about the difference between Hazel and Julia, some asserted that she looks more like her dad. Another person reiterated:
“She doesn’t look anything like her Mum.”
Although many feel that Hazel and Julia do not look alike, they still complimented the 18-year-old on her beauty. Most people believe Hazel resembles her father, Danny, more so than her mom, Julia.
