Julia Roberts, one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, captivated audiences in the 1990s and remains a major star. Yet, before finding lasting love, her personal life had its share of ups and downs.

Roberts was romantically linked to several high-profile actors before meeting “the one.” She dated Liam Neeson in 1987, then Dylan McDermott, to whom she was briefly engaged. Later, she got engaged to Kiefer Sutherland, but their relationship also ended. In 1993, Roberts surprised fans by marrying musician Lyle Lovett, though they divorced in 1995.

In 2000, Roberts met cameraman Danny Moder on the set of The Mexican. Despite Moder being married at the time, his relationship ended, and he and Roberts grew closer. The couple married in 2002 and now share three children—twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and son Henry. Roberts spoke of Moder as a “seismic shift” in her life, expressing deep love and respect for him.

In 2018, Roberts described him as her “favorite human,” highlighting their strong bond. An insider later noted their “soulmate” connection, sharing that their chemistry is vital to their happy marriage. Roberts and Moder’s enduring love story is a heartening example of lasting Hollywood romance.
