Julia Roberts Shares Rare Photo of Son Henry on His ‘Beautiful’ 17th Birthday

Henry, Julia Roberts’ lovely son, turns 17 today: a peek at her youngest. Julia Roberts marked her youngest son’s 17th birthday on Instagram with a lovely photo. Even though the image was surprising—Julia usually keeps her kids private—she and her husband have before shared amazing photos of Henry Moder that have amazed everyone.

A very happy birthday to the child of Hollywood’s most famous couple, Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder! Henry Moder, the youngest in their family, became seventeen on June 18. His loving mother left a stream of supportive comments on social media and celebrated with a series of touching mother-son posts. In the photo, the “Pretty Woman” star gazes down at Henry, who is still an infant. Her eyes sparkle with joy and love. The sweet and fascinating baby looks intently at something off-camera, nestled in his mother’s safe arms.

Julia shared her pride and surprise in a brief yet sweet caption she wrote for the photo. She finds it amazing how this little boy has grown into a wonderful 17-year-old. She penned, “Happy Birthday, Henry! You are beautiful.” Though Julia and Henry’s dad, Daniel, guard their kids’ privacy, sometimes they share special photos and videos of their kids. Daniel has been particularly active on social media, posting videos of Henry, Hazel, and Phinnaeus Moder having fun and showing dear family moments.

Daniel uploaded a video on Instagram of Henry demonstrating his skateboarding skills at a skate park. In the slow-motion video, the boy is seen skating up a slope in dark pants and an olive t-shirt. Henry manages to spin the board at the top of the ramp, bringing his handsome face into the camera’s view. Then, as the camera zooms in, his striking eyes and face appear up close. Daniel posted this remarkable video on June 18, 2021, to celebrate Henry’s 14th birthday. The springs twist and turn, swaying fourteen times in the air. “Ya Henry,” Daniel captioned the video proudly.

In the comments of the post, followers of the now-17-year-old were applauding and commenting, along with sharing their thoughts on which parent Henry resembles more. “He looks just like you. Nice boy,” said one of his fans. Another agreed, “Looks just like his Dad! Lovely boy.” While acknowledging the father-son similarity, another person also noted Henry’s resemblance to his mother, commenting, “Has mom’s hair.” There’s no denying that boy. Hehe. Meanwhile, an Instagram user noted, “This family clearly has no Roberts genes at all!” Once again, after Henry’s dad-lookalike shared an earlier photo of his son on social media, people flocked to the comment section.

Henry is featured in the 2018 photo casually stylish at a lighthouse. The boy on skates looked down at the camera, his long hair flowing freely around his face. “Look closely to see the star spangled shorts,” Daniel captioned the surreal photo. One cool young man… Happy Fourth of July from a lighthouse near the Cape. Below the photo, a fan commented, “Handsome Henry,” and another, “Julia’s eyes.” Whether or not Henry and his siblings look alike, Julia still adores them. She frequently boasts about them and prioritizes her motherly duties.

In an interview promoting her latest movie, “Ticket to Paradise,” Julia was asked how she views herself as a homemaker. “When I’m not working, that’s my full-time job,” she responded. Though it’s not always easy, she really loves it.

She also talked about her special connection with Henry, whom she calls her breakfast buddy as they both enjoy the most important meal of the day a lot. “I love breakfast, so it’s my favorite meal. My morning buddy is my younger son Henry,” Julia commented. The interviewer was so aware of the “Notting Hill” actress’s fondness for breakfast that they joked about the interview keeping her from her breakfast date with Henry Moder. “Yes, indeed! We love our breakfast time!” Julia Roberts answered with a smile.

Julia cherishes her twins Phinnaeus and Hazel as well as Henry. As her only daughter accompanied her father, a cinematographer, to the 2021 Cannes Film Festival to promote his movie “Flag Day,” Julia spoke fondly of Hazel. The audience was struck by the father-daughter interaction and surprised by how much Daniel resembled her. Hazel, then sixteen, was dressed stylishly yet casually for the famed event. She wore black high-heeled Mary Janes and a yellow button-down dress adorned with floral lace. Her light hair was also styled into a ponytail. Her father, on the other hand, was sharp in a black suit. Hazel’s parents, especially her mother, were proud of her excellent behavior. Reflecting on the memorable event, Julia commended her daughter and joked about their debates over her fashion choices and her firm refusal to wear eyeliner, saying, “That girl is unique.” The innocence is truly beautiful.

When fans saw photos of the young lady with her father, they praised Hazel’s looks and called her pretty, but they also noted the physical differences between Julia and Hazel. “She’s lovely but you’d never guess who her mom is…they really don’t look alike at all,” a supporter commented.

Another said, “She doesn’t look anything like her Mum.” While some noted that Hazel looks more like her father than Julia, others remarked that the two are not similar. Although many observed that Hazel and Julia don’t look alike, many still complimented the 19-year-old’s beauty.
