At the age of 56, Julia Roberts continues to captivate audiences with her glowing presence. In a candid January interview with British Vogue, the Oscar-winning actress spilled the beans on her secret to staying youthful. “Good genes play a role, of course,” she said with a laugh. “But I truly believe it’s about living a fulfilling life. And let’s be honest—having the love of a good man makes all the difference.” Julia went on to credit her husband, Danny Moder, for the happiness he brings into her life. “Danny’s love and care make me feel incredibly cherished,” she added. But as it turns out, their marriage is now facing some unexpected challenges.
Just six months after that heartfelt interview, sources close to the couple are revealing that their 22-year marriage is at a crossroads. On July 4, they celebrated their wedding anniversary, but life hasn’t been smooth sailing lately. According to an insider, one of Julia’s recent compromises involved moving her family from San Francisco back to Malibu. “Julia bought a home in San Francisco in 2020, but Danny missed his surfing lifestyle and industry connections,” the source explains. “So, they decided to sell their $11 million property last fall to make things work for him.”
While the move seemed like a solution, it hasn’t fixed everything. Now settled back in LA, the couple finds themselves living separate lives. “Julia is fully focused on her career, while Danny is reconnecting with his beach buddies and industry contacts,” the source reveals. “They even own multiple homes and often live apart, which has created a noticeable distance between them.”

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder: Finding Balance in Their Marriage
As the source explains, Danny is enjoying his renewed social life with friends and professional connections, while Julia is diving headfirst into her career. “Back in the day, Julia would occasionally take on a movie role here and there,” the source says. “But now that their kids—twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 19, and son Henry, 17—are growing up and gaining independence, she’s ready to take on more projects.”
With over three decades in the entertainment industry, Julia Roberts remains a powerhouse. Her last two major films—2022’s Ticket to Paradise with George Clooney and 2023’s Leave the World Behind, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama—were wildly successful and showcased her versatility as an actress. “Julia’s career is thriving, but her work demands so much of her time and energy that it’s affecting her marriage,” the source notes. “She’s achieved so much in such a short span—starring in one of the biggest rom-coms of the past decade and delivering Netflix’s top movie of 2023. It’s incredible, but it’s also taking a toll.”
Can Julia and Danny Rebalance Their Lives?
As they enter this new chapter, the couple faces a critical moment in their relationship. “Julia and Danny have weathered many storms over the years,” the source reflects. “They’ve always managed to find a way to keep their marriage strong. Now, the challenge is balancing her professional ambitions with their personal lives.”
Despite the challenges, both Julia and Danny are committed to making their marriage work. “They don’t want to see their relationship end,” the source emphasizes. “The hope is that they can rediscover the harmony they once had and create a life together that fulfills both of them. After all, they’ve built a beautiful family and shared so many incredible moments over the years. This is just another hurdle they’ll tackle together.”
