How old are Julia Roberts' twins now?

While the couple has kept their children largely out of the spotlight, a few details about the twins have made it into the public eye over the years. Here's a closer look at each of them.

Hazel Patricia Moder

Julia Roberts' twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus Moder, celebrated their 21st birthday on 28 November 2025. Hazel is the only daughter of Julia and Danny and the most publicly visible of the three children.

Hazel's first red carpet came at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021, when she joined her father for the premiere of Flag Day, which he shot as cinematographer. She looked exactly like Julia in an off-white dress and black shoes, with her hair in a ponytail.

She made her big screen debut with a tiny role in Julia's 2016 movie Mother's Day, playing the "cartwheel kid", according to her IMDb.

Julia also revealed that she brought Hazel to the 2017 Women's March in Washington, D.C.

Roberts has spoken warmly about what she hopes Hazel will one day understand about love. The Pretty Woman star once told CBS Sunday Morning that she was saving the love letters she'd received from Danny for her daughter. "The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have tucked away. One day I'll show it to Hazel and say, 'That's what you're looking for.'"

Phinnaeus Walter Moder

Phinnaeus, widely known by his nickname Finn, shares a birthday with his twin sister Hazel and a love of skateboarding with his younger brother Henry. In August 2025, Phinnaeus was seen impressively riding his skateboard in a video shared on Moder's Instagram.

The Pretty Woman actress had a special birthday message for her and Danny Moder's twins as the duo celebrated their 21st birthday: "These game changers, life alterers, expanders once were 1 and now are 21!" Julia wrote on Instagram on 28 November 2025.

How Julia Roberts has raised her kids out of the spotlight

Keeping three children private while being one of the world's most famous actresses is no small feat. Roberts and Moder made a conscious, united decision.

Well, I think that the luckiest aspect of my work life/family life is that the success of my work life came earlier. So by the time I had the success of my family life and had a husband and children who wanted to stay home, I had been working for 18 years.

Roberts continued:

It was easy to pause work life to nurture my home life. To be allowed the luxury of staying home and being with my family, I had a deep gratitude for that time.

Roberts has also spoken about how she worked to protect her children so they could enjoy a normal life away from the Hollywood limelight. The children rarely make red carpet appearances or appear on their mother's Instagram.

Latest news: Julia Roberts becomes an empty nester

The biggest family milestone of recent months has been Roberts officially becoming an empty nester. The Oscar-winning actress revealed that her youngest son, Henry, moved out of home during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she admitted she was still getting used to the change.

When the topic arose, Roberts joked,

I don't know if sobbing now is the best jumping-off point to our interview. I love hanging out with them and spending time with them. Fortunately, we have had lots of visits along the way (to) this empty nest.

With more time on her hands, Roberts has revealed what she plans to do next.

I think I'd like to do another play. Now that my kids are out of the house, I think that I could devote that kind of laser focus again to something like that.
