Julia Roberts is one of the rare celebrities who lives a relatively ordinary existence. She has been married to cinematographer Daniel Moder for 19 years, and the couple appears to be extremely happy.
he couple has three children: twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, both 16, and a son, Henry, 14.
Both Roberts and Moder try to keep their children out of the public eye, which is why we rarely see them attending public events or sharing images on social media.
However, we saw Hazel in the presence of her father at the Cannes Film Festival in France in July.
The two were there to promote the film Flag Day. Moder was the choreographer, and Sean Penn, was the director.
While Penn’s children played characters in the film, Hazel did not, but she attended the ceremony to support her father’s efforts.
Hazel’s amazing beauty drew everyone’s attention.
While some claim she inherited her mother’s nose, many believe she’s a striking likeness of her handsome father, so it’s no surprise she’s attractive herself. Hazel has blonde hair and blue eyes.
She was dressed in a soft yellow long lace gown and black Mary Jane heels. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her make-up was modest. A true woman!
Moder was clearly proud of his girl and spent the entire evening by her side.
Whether Hazel or her siblings are interested in pursuing professions in the film industry is unknown because their parents rarely speak about their children and prefer to keep them out of the spotlight, which is understandable given Roberts’ grounded nature.
Despite her great income, which is reported to be approximately $250 million, she has never acted like a diva and has always maintained a humble demeanor.
In 2016, Hazel and her brothers played minor roles in Robert’s film Mother’s Day.
In 2018, Roberts told Harper’s Bazaar about her children:
“I don’t think they’ll ever understand (my fame). I think I told you once that when they started figuring it out, they were like, ‘You’re famous?’”
“And I said, ‘I think a lot of people might have seen the movie that I’m in or might know who I am.’”
She then discussed the issues that today’s youngsters experience, saying, “It’s different than when I might have said to my mom, ‘Mom, you don’t know what it’s like to be a teenager today,’ even though she probably did.”
Danny and I have no idea what it’s like to be an adolescent today. When my children ask me questions, I just tell them, ‘I’m going to say no and check into it because I have no idea what we’re talking about.’”
When she got home, she excitedly shared with her parents that she had made a new friend at school: Their surprise was evident when they saw the picture she brought with her
In the late summer of 1997, amidst the bustling halls of a Cape Town maternity hospital, Celeste Nurse awoke to a nightmare. Her infant daughter, cradled closely in her arms just moments before, was now inexplicably missing. A woman disguised as a nurse had stealthily absconded with the child while Celeste dozed off, leaving behind a void that would haunt the Nurses for two decades.
Year after year, they commemorated their daughter’s birthday with bittersweet celebrations, clinging to hope amid the anguish of uncertainty. Then, in a remarkable turn of events in 2015, a glimmer of possibility emerged. With the arrival of a new addition to the Nurse family, named Zephany, hope stirred once more.
Zephany bore an uncanny resemblance to their long-lost daughter, sharing not only her features but also her birthday. Astonished by this revelation, the Nurses wasted no time in seeking confirmation, enlisting the aid of authorities for a DNA test. The results validated their deepest yearnings – Zephany was indeed their missing child.
“DNA is a truth teller. It affirmed what our hearts always believed”, reflected Celeste Nurse on the profound moment of reunion. However, for Zephany, then known as Miché Solomon, the revelation unraveled her world. Despite her birth certificate asserting her origin at Retreat Hospital, records of her birth were conspicuously absent.
As the legal proceedings unfolded, Miché grappled with the revelation that Lavona Solomon, the woman she had always regarded as her mother, stood accused of kidnapping and fraud. Lavona professed her innocence, claiming she had received the baby from a woman named Sylvia, an assertion unsupported by evidence.
Ultimately, Lavona received a ten-year sentence for her crimes, leaving Miché to navigate the complex terrain of her dual identity. Reunited with her biological parents under the guidance of compassionate social workers, Miché wrestled with conflicting loyalties.
“It was a battle waged in the recesses of my mind and heart”, confessed Miché, torn between the families vying for her allegiance. Despite her reunion with her birth parents, Miché found solace in returning to Michael Solomon, the man she still considered her father, following her parents’ separation.
Yet, the reconciliation was fraught with challenges as Miché struggled to reconcile her two identities, opting to retain her given name rather than reverting to Zephany. While she maintains occasional visits to Lavona in prison, Miché endeavors to forge ahead, embracing the truth that, though painful, liberated her from a life built on deceit.
“I am both Miché and Zephany, a synthesis of two worlds”, she declared, embracing the complexities of her past while charting a course towards a future defined by authenticity and forgiveness.
