Who is Julia Roberts husband Daniel Moder? Bio, facts, net worth.

Over the years, Daniel Moder has had a series of different roles but all behind the camera. Moder has worked on the creative side of things all his life, ranging from cameraman to cinematographer. His association with movies is also how he met his future wife, Julia Roberts. An A-lister actor who needs no introduction, Roberts is known for her role in the romantic comedy film Pretty Woman (1990). Since then, Roberts has named three Golden Globe Awards, from eight nominations, and has been nominated for four Academy Awards. She ultimately won the award for Best Actress for her performance in Erin Brockovich (2000). Despite her professional success, Roberts had her fair share of personal troubles, which lasted until she met Daniel Moder.

Daniel Richard Moder was born on the 31st of January, 1969, to producer Mike Moder and Patricia Ann Watz. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Moder spent most of his siblings, John, Jyl, Jane, and Debbie. Given his parent’s association with Hollywood, it is not surprising that Daniel made a name for himself in the same field.

Primarily a movie guy, Moder has also had a few works in TV series including Extraordinary Moms (2011), The Normal Heart (2014), Animal Kingdom (2016), The Last Tycoon (2016), and Dead to Me (2019).

While Moder has been recognized for his work, he doesn’t have to show much in terms of awards. He was nominated for the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie for The Normal Heart. He was also nominated for the 2014 OFTA Television Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Series for the same.

Personal Life:

Daniel Moder has been married to Julia Roberts and the pair have been together for 18 years. Before his marriage to Roberts, Moder was married to Vera Steimberg. However, the pair’s marriage lasted only for a total of 5 years from 1997 to 2002. Moder first met Roberts on the set of the 2000 movie, The Mexican. When Moder’s divorce was finalized, he wasted no time proposing to Roberts and the pair tied the knot on July 4, 2002, in a small ceremony on Roberts’s ranch in Taos, New Mexico.

In their 18 years of togetherness, the pair gave birth to three children, twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus Walter born November 28, 2004, and another son, Henry Daniel born June 18, 2007.

While Moder rarely gives interviews, Julia Roberts has been more than open about her marriage and credits Moder for helping her get through some of the most difficult phases in her career.

“He truly, to this day, to this minute is just my favorite human. I’m more interested in what he has to say or his point of view just than anybody. Really, we’re so lucky in that way. We just really, really like each other and we just enjoy each other’s company.”
