Julia Roberts marked her 22nd wedding anniversary with husband Daniel Moder by sharing a nostalgic throwback photo. The actress posted a sweet and surprisingly sultry picture of them kissing, captioned simply with “Twenty two years!” along with various emojis including hearts, a bride and groom, disco dancers, and the US flag.
This isn’t the first time Roberts has publicly shown affection for her cinematographer husband. She has made it a tradition to share a kissing photo each year, celebrating their relationship milestone. Their journey began with a secret wedding ceremony on July 4, 2002, in New Mexico, disguised as an Independence Day celebration at her ranch in Taos, attended by guests like George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
Roberts and Moder met in 2001 on the set of “The Mexican,” shortly after her divorce from Lyle Lovett and while Moder was separated from makeup artist Vera Steimberg. In a nod to her humorous side, Roberts famously wore a shirt in 2002 with the phrase “A Low Vera,” referencing Steimberg.
Reflecting on their 22 years together, Roberts credits “lots of making out” as the secret to their successful marriage—a sentiment mirrored in their annual tradition of sharing affectionate photos. In the spirit of classic romantic comedies, their love story continues to inspire.
