Julia Roberts Chose Family over Fame after Birth of Her Kids – They Don’t Fully Grasp That She’s Famous
Despite a prolific Hollywood career, “America’s Sweethearts” actress Julia Roberts put her family first. Her kids grew up so shielded from the spotlight that they did not realize their mother was a celebrity.
One of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, Julia Roberts is mainly recognized for her leading roles in films ranging from thrillers and action to drama and romantic comedies.
With some of her films ranking among the highest grossing and many more earning over $100 million worldwide, the “Pretty Woman” actress has known nothing but success in her career.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t always so lucky in her personal life. Before finally finding love with her husband Danny Moder, “The Runaway Bride” star was involved in high-profile romances with Dylan McDermott, Liam Neeson, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jason Patric.
Amid her romantic rendezvous, she gave marriage a shot and walked down the aisle with her first husband, Lyle Lovett, in 1993. Unfortunately, the union only lasted two years, and the couple parted ways in 1995.
After several failed romances, Roberts finally found love with her current husband, Moder. The actress and the cameraman met on the set of her film “The Mexican” in 2000.

Though they remain one of Hollywood’s power couples, with a union lasting over two decades, their romance began with a minor scandal. When they met, they were both in serious relationships. Roberts was dating Benjamin Bratt while Moder was married to Vera Steimberg.
A little over a year after they met, Moder divorced his wife and married Roberts. While Roberts denies the rumors, many claimed she was the cause of Moder’s failed marriage to Steimberg.
