Overview
- Danny Moder posted the throwback on Wednesday, October 28, showing him kissing Julia Roberts on the shoulder beside a cake and captioning it, “Celebrating everyday… but october 28 the most. more candles bring more joy. love you so much.”
- Julia Roberts responded in the post’s comments with celebratory emojis and hearts, and fans quickly filled the thread with birthday wishes.
- Emma Roberts, Julia’s niece, added a separate tribute by sharing an unseen photo from her July wedding and writing “Happy birthday Aunt Julia,” giving the moment a family angle.
- The post recalled the couple’s long history—they met on the set of The Mexican around 2000–2001, married privately at Roberts’s Taos ranch in July 2002, and share twins Hazel and Phinnaeus (born 2004) and son Henry (born 2007).
- Media coverage framed the tribute as notable because the pair usually guard their privacy, and outlets used the post to highlight Moder’s own career as a cinematographer with film credits and a Primetime Emmy nomination.
