Julia and Daniel’s first kids were twins, born in November 2004. Hazel Moder, 19, has grown up quite a bit, and looks just like her mom! Julia’s look-alike daughter made her in July 2021, when she accompanied her dad to the premiere of his movie Flag Day at the Cannes Film Festival. She looked exactly like Julia in an off-white dress and black shoes, with her hair in a ponytail. Besides looks, Hazel does seem like she’s following in her mom’s footsteps to a degree. She made her big screen debut with a tiny role in Julia’s 2016 movie . She played the “cartwheel kid,” according to her.

Hazel and her dad also have a strong bond. The cinematographer posted a selfie of the teen on his and raved about his little girl. “So lucky this girl is my daughter…and that she takes these awesome selfies on my phone. Staying gnarly,” he wrote in the caption.

When Hazel and Phinnaeus on November 28, 2023, Julia posted a sweet Instagram tribute featuring a when they were babies. “There are no words for the joy, the fun, the wild rumpus of life together,” she wrote in her caption.

Like his twin sister Hazel, Phinnaeus Moder is also 19-years-old. While his sister made her film debut a few years ago, it seems like the older Moder son shares interests with his dad. The two were spotted out in matching white t-shirts back in June, and it looks like Phinnaeus is a bit of a skater dude.

Julia Roberts’ kids were actually the reason that she got on Instagram, she told Oprah in a , but the Academy Award-winner rarely posts pictures of her children on the app. Her husband does occasionally share glimpses into the family’s life, and he has shown that he and Phinnaeus have a lot in common. Danny has posted photos of himself catching waves, and he’s also occasionally shared of his son on a skateboard. The cinematographer also sometimes shows his great photography skills with photos of his kids, like when he posted a of Phinnaeus throwing a bottle in the desert in June.
