When featured in Paltrow’s podcast, Roberts described the impact her husband had on her life as a “seismic shift.” She couldn’t visualize her life without him, and he was, many times, her better half that she couldn’t do without, especially when times get tough and life gets too hectic. He has always remained her rock.
According to her, meeting him was the first time she felt like her life has changed forever in the best way possible. With more than 20 years of being in a relationship together and three gorgeous children later, they still keep getting closer and better together.
There's Nothing Wrong With Reaching Out
Parenting, as we all know, is easier when done by two parents, as opposed to a single mom or single dad doing the job alone. Roberts made it a point that she believes women shouldn't be responsible for every single thing all the time if they have a loving and supporting partner.
During her interview with Oprah, she said there is nothing wrong with reaching out to a partner, friend, or even your own children if you need a hand for whatever reason. We think everyone can take a page out of Julia’s book, considering how hectic things can get at times.
Shout It From the Rooftops
There is no doubt that Roberts's best relationship is the one she has with Moder, and she speaks about it very proudly and openly. He is the love of her life, and he is, without a doubt, her best friend and the only person that she’s been able to stick with for such a long time.
She was interviewed about it not only by Oprah but also by actress and friend Gwyneth Paltrow on her podcast, "Goop." The podcast interview was open and candid, and she wasn't afraid to gush over her husband and let the world hear all about it.
What's Their Secret?
So, after failed relationships, including a divorce and a broken-up engagement in the past, what makes Moder so special and their relationship work so well? As the separation rate is so high, especially in Hollywood, what makes this work? There is probably a lot more to it than the interview, but Roberts told Paltrow all about it.
She calls him her "favorite human" and says she is more interested in his opinion or point of view than anybody else's. They have a great friendship, and they just enjoy being together, no matter where they are. It is purely as simple as that.
Even After All These Years
We are all familiar with the different stages that relationships go through, and we all know that time is a huge factor to consider. Danny and Julia have had their ups and downs, they have yelled at each other and been disappointed by one another, however, they never lose the way home.
Paltrow asked her friend about their decades spent together and Roberts said that the years have been kind to them and brought them closer together. After spending all this time together (over 20 years, to be more precise), their relationship is deeper and more complex in the best way possible.
