When she discovered the impact Roberts’s marriage has had on her life, Oprah was just as relentless as Paltrow. To us, money and a great, successful career seem enough to make one happy, however, Roberts never paid attention to all of these. Maybe because they came fairly easily to her.
Just like her non-Hollywoodian fans, she wanted to know what Moder has added to the life of someone who seemingly had everything. Roberts emphatically responded that with him, she doesn’t need to alter herself or pretend to be someone she’s not. She can just be as comfortable as she pleases. There was no need for acting.
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!
Her Rock
Not only does he make her feel comfortable, but he also helps her overcome her own personal fears and challenges. One example of that is Roberts's fear of heights. In 2018, she posed in evening gowns for a Harper's Bazaar photoshoot.
Oh, and she did it while hanging by a rope from the side of a rock. When Oprah met her for a later interview, the actress confessed that Moder was the one who talked her into it and talked her through it. So not only is he the perfect human being for her, but he also manages to help her overcome big challenges that she may face. That's what we call being someone's rock.
Real Life Happy Ending
And now, for the question you've all been waiting for — how does a marriage work between a rich and famous Hollywood star and a not-so-famous person? Well, it does. Roberts and Moder are living proof. Perhaps this is one of the secret ingredients for a successful marriage to thrive in Hollywood. Maybe it’s best that not both parties are ultra-famous.
Just like in "Notting Hill" — the answer is yes. For those of you who don't know, in "Notting Hill," Roberts plays the part of a famous actress who falls in love with a simple bookseller. So, for once, a silver-screen happy ending has successfully made its way into real life.
