Those of you who watched Roberts in the movie “Eat Pray Love” know that finding love is often what you need to find happiness. Roberts obviously has that. She has it all. Is there even anything that she doesn’t have?
The actress opened up about the issue in an interview she gave on Oprah’s O Magazine. She stated that she is the happiest she’s ever been and that the joy comes from being content with what she has. To be fair, a solid bank account, a loving partner, a beautiful family, and a successful career do sound very satisfying. What more could you possibly wish for?
Owning Her Destiny
Those who listened to Paltrow's "Goop" podcast may have noticed she turned out to be quite a persistent interviewer, not really shying away from asking questions that may seem rather private to some. Paltrow took advantage of the situation and wanted to hear some more, and really got down to asking her some deep questions about her marriage and relationship with Moder.
She asked Roberts if Moder was the first real shift for her, to which she answered, "I think that what I felt was that I really had a sense of ownership of my destiny. I’ve never said that before." This kind of love really does sound incredible.
A True Gush-Fest
You thought the gushing was over? Think again. Just when we thought that all nice things could be said about a relationship, Roberts took it a step further. Apparently, Roberts couldn't stop coming up with new ways to describe just how much she loves that hubby of hers. She loves him in a way anyone would want to be loved.
She called her marriage to Moder the best decision she's ever made. In the background, listeners of the podcast could hear Paltrow being audibly touched by her friend's words. There are not many successful relationships in Hollywood, and if cupid strikes your way, it must be cherished.
Love and Marriage
Oprah obviously had some follow-up questions. After all, it seemed that Roberts has found the formula for happiness, and it was Oprah's duty as a journalist to share it with the world.
When inquiring about the reason that made her so content, Roberts confessed that it is largely thanks to her marriage. Not her career, not her money — just love. Pure true love. With such a successful marriage that’s been going strong for over two decades, we guess you can’t really go wrong. We just hope that things will stay as happy as they are with the pair until the end of their days.
Shining a Light
Roberts's interview for O Magazine quickly turned into a hymn praising her husband for all the glory and love that he brings to Roberts and their family. "My husband Danny has really shined the light for me," she said. She spoke greatly of him and wasn't shy to confess that she adores him.
"Because of being married, I’ve met people and experienced all these little things that have nurtured my life. Not so much changed it, just nurtured it in a way that’s astounding." It sounds like Roberts and Moder really have the best thing going in Hollywood. How touching!
