Last month, on August 29th, 2025, acclaimed actress Julia Roberts and her husband Daniel Moder, a cinematographer, attended the Venice Film Festival for the world premiere of Roberts' new movie 'After the Hunt'. The couple, who have been married since 2002, made a rare public appearance together as they walked the red carpet.
During the premiere screening, the audience erupted in applause even before the lights went up. Director Luca Guadagnino then stood up and urged his cast and crew to greet the enthusiastic crowd, leading to a standing ovation that lasted for about six minutes. Roberts was seen blowing kisses to the audience as she took in the emotional moment, and at one point, she appeared to wipe a tear from her eye.
Roberts and Moder, who tend to keep their personal lives private, share three children together - 20-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and 18-year-old son Henry. The couple recently celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary in July, with Moder posting a playful selfie of the two on Instagram.
