Julia Roberts Shares Rare Look at Twins Hazel and Phinnaeus on 21st Birthday

Julia Roberts has two important sweethearts in her life.

The Pretty Woman actress had a very special birthday message for her and husband Danny Moder’s twins Hazel and Phinnaeus as the duo celebrated their 21st birthday.

“These game changers, life alterers, [heart] expanders once were 1 and now are 21!” Julia wrote on Instagram Nov. 28, alongside a crying emoji. “That was fast. Happy Birthday my Dears.”

The 58-year-old also included an adorable throwback photo of Hazel and Phinnaeus as babies sitting in matching highchairs and eating a snack, with Hazel smiling for the camera as Phinnaeus looked off to his right. 

As if turning 21 wasn’t enough of a reminder, Julia recently shared how different her life looks now that she and Danny who married in 2002 are now empty nesters as Hazel, Phinnaeus, as well as their son Henry, 18, have all moved out.

"It's all fun, honestly," she told Stephen Colbert in October. "It is all so delicious.”

Although she can definitely feel the emotions of not having her kids at home, joking, “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," Julia added. "Fortunately, we have had lots of visits along the way [to] this empty nest."

And of course she took a moment to gush about the trio, saying, “I know everyone thinks their kids are great. Well, my kids are great."

And despite her kids not living at home anymore, the Oscar winner explained that she hasn’t changed her parenting style too much.

"I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house," she said on Today in 2023, "which is, you know, 'Are you getting enough sleep?' And, 'You sound like you're sick.' And 'Are you drinking tea?' And 'Text me when you get home you get home, [so] I can see that you're home safe and sound."

"I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them," the 56-year-old explained, "and it's not eye-rolling and there's a huge amount of understanding."
