Julia Roberts Celebrates ‘Beautiful’ Son Henry’s 17th Birthday: A Rare Glimpse of Her Youngest

A warm Happy Birthday shoutout is due for the son of Hollywood stars Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder! Henry Moder, the youngest in their family, turned 17 on June 18. His loving mom celebrated the occasion with a sweet mother-son post, sparking a wave of positive reactions online.

In the “Pretty Woman” star’s photo, her eyes radiate love and happiness as she gazes down at baby Henry. Cradled in his mom’s protective arms, the curious infant seems captivated by something off-camera.

Expressing her pride and amazement, Julia wrote a brief but heartfelt caption: “Incredible that this baby is now a towering 17-year-old wonder! Happy Birthday, beautiful Henry.”

While Julia and Henry’s dad, Daniel, usually prioritize their children’s privacy, they occasionally share exclusive photos and videos. Daniel, in particular, has posted touching family moments, often showcasing Henry, Hazel, and Phinnaeus Moder enjoying activities like biking and skating.

One such Instagram post from Daniel shows Henry displaying his skating skills at a skate park. The slow-motion video captures the teen, dressed in dark jeans and an olive-colored t-shirt, maneuvering his skateboard up a ramp.

At the top of the ramp, Henry swivels his board around, revealing his handsome face to the camera. The video zooms in for a closer look at his features and striking eyes.

Daniel shared this impressive video on June 18, 2021, celebrating Henry’s 14th birthday. “Turning 14… turning in the air… summer’s turn. Ya Henry,” wrote the proud dad.

The comment section buzzed with praise and compliments for the now-17-year-old, with followers debating which parent Henry resembles more. “He looks just like you. Handsome boy,” one fan noted.

Another added, “Looks just like his Dad! Beautiful children.” Someone else chimed in, “Has mom’s hair. No denying that child. Lol.”

Conversely, one Instagrammer remarked, “Obviously NO Roberts genes at all in this family!” When Daniel posted an older picture of Henry on social media, followers flocked to the comments again.

In the 2018 photo, Henry poses in casual-cool attire at a lighthouse, looking down at the camera with his long hair framing his face.

Daniel captioned, “Look closely to see the star-spangled shorts. One cool kid… happy 4th of July from a lighthouse in the Cape.” Admirers commented, “Handsome Henry,” and “Julias eyes.”

Whether or not Henry resembles Julia, it doesn’t affect the love she has for him and his siblings. She often boasts about them and prioritizes her role as their mother above all.

In a past interview discussing her then-new movie “Ticket to Paradise,” Julia was asked about describing herself as a homemaker. She replied, “When I’m not working, that is my full-time job. And it isn’t, you know, rainbows and kittens every day, but it does bring me a lot of joy.”

She also shared about her special bond with Henry as her breakfast buddy. “I love breakfast, it’s my favorite meal. My younger boy, Henry, he’s my breakfast partner,” Julia revealed.

The interviewer, noting Julia’s love for breakfast, joked about keeping her from enjoying the meal with Henry due to the interview. “Yes! We love our breakfast!” Julia agreed with a smile.

Besides Henry, Julia also dotes on her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus. When Hazel attended the 2021 Cannes Film Festival with her dad to support his film, “Flag Day,” Julia fondly spoke about her.

For the event, Hazel, then 16, wore a yellow button-down dress with floral lace embroidery and black Mary Janes with chunky heels, tying her blonde hair in a ponytail. Daniel wore a classic black suit.

Julia praised Hazel’s poise, recalling their playful disagreement over her look, especially Hazel’s choice not to wear eyeliner, joking, “She is a one-of-a-kind, that girl…I mean, it’s just sweet, just the innocence…”

Fans, seeing photos of Hazel with her dad, complimented her looks, noting the difference between Hazel and Julia. “She’s lovely but you’d never guess who her mum is… they really are not alike at all,” one fan said.

Another echoed, “She doesn’t look anything like her Mum.” While many noted the differences, they still complimented the 19-year-old on her beauty.
