Julia Roberts appreciates a simple life by doing everything herself, including driving her kids to school, walking her adorable puppy, and cooking for her family which she values more than an Oscar.

Unlike other Hollywood celebrities, Julia Roberts is unique. She doesn’t regularly update Twitter with where she goes on vacation, where she stays, or cute pictures of her kids. She is a woman who longs to live a solitary life, fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife and mother without the attention of social media or her fans.

“Unglamorous” life

Julia Roberts was lucky enough to reach the peak of her popularity at an early age. At least once a year, her acting produced a big box office hit. She lived a very glamorous lifestyle, frequenting fashion boutiques and luxury restaurants in Manhattan. Turning her life upside down, she met Daniel Moder when she was at her brightest.

Julia Roberts became a very popular actress from the day she started her film career. She could become the dream princess of many young people. But because of her popularity, all romantic relationships were broken, before meeting Daniel Morder. It was because none of them had a heart big enough to take on her achievements. But her success was not a problem for her true love. He has fully embraced it and won Hollywood beauty’s heart. Roberts moved into his modest apartment in Los Angeles. When she became famous, she loved to go for long walks hand in hand with her infamous boyfriend.

The actress fell fast into the “unglamorous” lifestyle. She quickly removed her pricey designer dress on the day of their wedding so that she could rejoin her guests wearing a pair of casual jeans and begin serving them. The attendees said that it was exactly like a backyard BBQ at any American home.

Friends of the couple participated in the celebration in a positive way. A harmonica player was Bruce Willis, for instance. Roberts started the disco around midnight and started dancing. You must admit that it is an odd ceremony for Hollywood celebrities. Yet, their wedding served as a wonderful prelude to what their relationship would become.

“Timely” motherhood

The actress had her first child two years after getting married at age 35. Roberts explained why she waited so long to start a family in an interview, saying, “By the time we had kids, I had done things and felt secure about that portion of my life, I was so delighted moving into the family phase of my life in a real way.”

Not many actresses managed to get back on track after pregnancy. The “beautiful woman,” however, saw no danger in this. She was being approached by filmmakers with offers to star in their movies. But Julia, who was totally absorbed in parenting, thought they could wait.

The actress was not eager to start working again after giving birth to twins. She said, “I don’t need to seem cool, fascinating, weird, or on the edge. Roberts merely dreamed of escaping with her husband and twins to a ranch in New Mexico, away from everyone and enjoying a new era of her life. She invested so much time in adjusting to the new motherhood that three years later, she gave birth to a second kid.

The actress was not eager to start working again after giving birth to twins. She said, “I don’t need to seem cool, fascinating, weird, or on the edge. Roberts merely dreamed of escaping with her husband and twins to a ranch in New Mexico, away from everyone and enjoying a new era of her life. She invested so much time in adjusting to the new motherhood that three years later, she gave birth to a second kid.

Instead of loud applause, listen to children laughing, and make the small ones’ clothes instead of acting in front of the camera. Who would have imagined it, but Julia Roberts turned out to be a jack-of-all-trades? She’s mastered the sewing machine, she explains, to keep her head solid. And as a bonus, she’s got special pieces in her wardrobe “My kids say I make great food!”” That’s one of the achievements the actress proudly shares with the world. Presently, her eldest children are 18, and her youngest is 15. Although maternity leave was in the past, she continued to be a housewife and devote a lot of time to her family.

In Roberts’ eyes, being a housewife is more important than being an actor. There are days, she continues when you barely finish cleaning the kitchen after breakfast and have to start preparing lunch, and then, before you know it, dinner is on the horizon. This scenario is probably familiar to most parents with several children. On the other side, Julia notes, occasionally the whole family gets part in the home tasks, turning the day into one big celebration.

The idea, according to the actor, is to immerse yourself entirely in the role of a mother. Therefore, why take it on at all? “You don’t want to be spending time with your kids while having one eye on your phone. You want to be able to have undivided attention with them,” the actress explains her life philosophy with this simple example. By making a conscious effort to separate her work from her children, she has created an impenetrable barrier.

In contrast to what is typical in Hollywood, Julia and Daniel never brought their young children on the red carpet. Every aspect of the couple’s private lives was kept secret. Their daughter, who was then 17 years old, did not make her Cannes Film Festival debut with her father until 2021.

According to Julia Roberts, she didn’t decide to have children until she found the ideal partner for starting a family. They have proven to be a genuinely cohesive team now, more than 20 years later.

And yet, at times, like any mom, the actress is troubled by the question: “Sometimes I become gripped with the anxiety of blowing it. And sometimes I’ve just started to my kids, ‘So today, me as a mom? You have to confess that it helps to have someone there who will tell you, “You’re doing everything perfectly. Can we just remove that off the board?”
