1. Henry Moder Rewore Julia Roberts’ Iconic Golden Globes Suit

The most shocking and delightful piece of news about the Moder sons in recent times involves the youngest, Henry Daniel Moder. In a candid interview in late 2025, Julia Roberts revealed that her son Henry, then 18, had reworn one of her most famous red carpet looks. The outfit in question was the oversized, beige Giorgio Armani suit that Julia Roberts wore to the 1990 Golden Globes awards. This suit is considered one of her most iconic fashion moments, cementing her status as a style rule-breaker early in her career. The fact that Henry, now a young man, chose to borrow and wear this piece of fashion history speaks volumes about his own style sensibilities and his deep connection to his mother’s legacy. This revelation was a major public move for the notoriously private Henry Moder. It showed that while the Moder children live a quiet life, they are aware of their family's unique position in pop culture. The moment highlighted Henry's growing interest in fashion, following in his mother’s footsteps in a surprisingly literal way.

2. Phinnaeus and Hazel are Officially College Students

The twins, who turned 21 in November 2025, have been the subject of much curiosity, and their transition to college life marks a significant milestone. Julia Roberts has often spoken about the importance of being present for her children, even pausing her career for a time to focus on motherhood. The twins' departure for college is a testament to the success of their grounded upbringing. While the specific university names remain private, the fact that they are pursuing higher education confirms the family’s priority on a normal, intellectually rich life away from the Hollywood machine.

3. Daniel Moder Shares Rare Glimpses of Henry and Phinnaeus

While Julia Roberts is known for her discretion, her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, occasionally offers rare, heartfelt glimpses into their family life on social media. These posts are often the most reliable source of current information about the boys. In recent years, Daniel Moder has shared videos celebrating Henry’s birthday, often capturing him in slow-motion, showing off his athletic side. For Phinnaeus, Daniel shared a clip of his son skateboarding, illustrating that the 21-year-old is fully grown and pursuing typical young adult activities. These small, authentic moments confirm that the Moder sons are leading healthy, active lives, embracing interests like skateboarding and sports, far from the red carpets.

4. The Moder Sons’ Private Life is Their Mother's Priority

The commitment to keeping the lives of Henry, Phinnaeus, and Hazel private remains the most consistent fact about the Moder family. Julia Roberts has repeatedly stated that her children are the "most important thing" in her life. This dedication to a normal life is why the few public details that emerge are so newsworthy. The family primarily resides on their ranch in Taos, New Mexico, a conscious choice to raise the children in an environment that values nature and normalcy over celebrity culture. This private upbringing has allowed the boys to develop their own identities, free from the constant scrutiny that often plagues celebrity children.

5. Phinnaeus Has Shown Interest in the Film Industry

While both sons are generally private, there have been hints that Phinnaeus "Finn" Moder may be considering a path in the entertainment industry, perhaps following in the footsteps of both his mother, the actress, and his father, the cinematographer. Reports have suggested that Phinnaeus has an interest in acting and may have even starred in a small project. Given his father's technical expertise behind the camera and his mother's star power, it is natural that the film world would hold an appeal. However, like all things Moder-related, any potential career moves are being handled with the utmost discretion, ensuring that Phinnaeus can explore his interests on his own terms. His twin sister, Hazel, also made a rare public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival with her father in 2021, suggesting a cautious dipping of toes into the public sphere for the next generation.
