- Julia Roberts recently shared a rare photo with her husband to celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary.

If you grew up watching Hollywood films in the 1990s, you would know how Julia Roberts rose to fame after playing the role of Vivian Ward in the 1990 romcom, “Pretty Woman.” She made it to the Oscar nomination for her stellar performance as the lead character in the film.
In 2000, Roberts gave another mindblowing performance in the film “Erin Brockovich,” which was based on a true story. Not only did she make it to the Oscar nominations this time, but she also won the award.
While enjoying a successful career being one of the best actresses of her time, Roberts dated many men and even tied the knot with Lyle Lovett in 1993, but things did not work out between the couple, and they parted ways in 1995.
Roberts’ love life only stabilized once she began dating her now-husband, Daniel Moder, who she married in 2002. Roberts recently shared a rare photo on Instagram to celebrate her wedding anniversary.
In the photo, the couple can be seen passionately kissing. Roberts captioned her photo “21”―the number of years she has spent as Moder’s wife. The “Runaway Bride” actress believes her husband is her “true love.”
How Did Julia Marry a Simple Man after Famous Ex Left Her?
Finding true love was a challenging journey for the actress. She had to go through a difficult time before meeting the man who made her feel special. Before tying the knot with Moder, Roberts dated Benjamin Bratt for a few years.

Her relationship with the “Miss Congeniality” actor ended after the actor began feeling bothered by her fame. He compared her popularity to a “mosquito that buzzes in your ear when you’re trying to sleep at night.”
After parting ways with her, Bratt tied the knot with Talisa Soto, while Roberts became friends with Moder, who was working as a cameraman when they first met. At that time, Moder was married, but his relationship with his ex-wife was growing weaker.

Soon, he filed for divorce and began working on his relationship with Roberts. The couple spent time together at their houses instead of meeting in public. They got to know each other and soon decided to tie the knot.
However, their friends and family did not know about their plan. Instead of telling everyone they were getting married, the couple invited their close ones to Roberts’ ranch for an Independence Day celebration.
