At 55, Julia Roberts leads a private life centered around family in her eco-friendly Malibu home. Roberts shares the sprawling beach house with husband Danny Moder,54, and their three children – 18-year-old Phinnaeus and 15-year-old Henry and Hazel.
Designed by the actress, the sustainable property features solar panels, drought-resistant landscaping and four beehives producing fresh honey. A skate park, tire swing and trampoline delight her adventurous brood.
Though Roberts continues to star in acclaimed films, home remains her haven and top priority. Friends speak of her dedication to her tight-knit family and hands-on approach to parenting. Despite fame and fortune, Roberts maintains a modest lifestyle focused on togetherness, humor and life’s simple pleasures.
Roberts attributes her longevity and success in Hollywood to the stability provided by her 18-year marriage to Moder. Their partnership, built on mutual trust and respect, has withstood the test of time.
Through all of life’s ups and downs, their commitment to one another remains steadfast.
At the height of her success, Roberts chose love and family over career. That pivotal decision continues to anchor her world today. By leading with her heart, she found her greatest rewards.
While the spotlight still follows Roberts, home is where she’s most fully herself – barefoot and carefree, surrounded by loved ones who keep her humble, fulfilled and smiling wide as ever.
After over three decades in the public eye, Roberts maintains an attitude of gratitude and zest for the everyday beauty in the world.
At 55, Roberts is a reminder that what matters most can’t be bought or sold. And real, lasting joy is built not on fame or fortune but on the simple gift of being fully present and embracing each moment as it comes. For Roberts, that means making her way back home and tucking her world in close once more.
Decades into an iconic career and life, Roberts continues dancing to the beat of her own drum. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
And the same invitation to enjoy Julia and Danny’s incredible property apparently extends to adult members of the family’s friendship circle, which is mostly made up of trusted members of Danny’s Malibu surfer crew

Julia and Danny met on the set of her film The Mexican in 2000, while she was still dating actor Benjamin Bratt. At the time, Danny was married to Vera Steimberg. He filed for divorce a little over a year later, and after it was finalized, he and Julia wed on July 4, 2002, at her ranch Taos, New Mexico.

They continued: ‘She prefers to spend time with them over the Hollywood types, and her house is a revolving door of guys in wetsuits with surfboards under their arms.
Julia wouldn’t have it any other way.’
The family’s outdoorsy lifestyle is complete with a small pool on the patio of their main household, but it’s widely known that most of the wave-loving clan, who count pro surfer Kelly Slater as one of their closest pals – prefer getting out in the ocean below them.

Last September Julia opened up about her relationship with the cameraman.
‘You know what? He’s an awesome human being. We have so much fun,’ she gushed to .
In 2017, she told Harper’s Bazaar U.K. that before Danny came into her life, she was a ‘selfish little brat, running around making films. I was my priority.’ But that meeting her ‘person’ changed everything.
‘When I think about what makes my life my life, and just makes sense, and just shines inside of me, it’s him. Everything has come from that.’
These new images show Julia has recently erected beehives and luxury greenhouses at her main home, plus a yurt in her back garden, ideal for camping outside
The Hollywood superstar owns adjacent mansions in the A-list seaside retreat, having purchased a $7 million ranch-style house in 2015 which is a stone’s throw from her long-time main residence, a 5-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion which she bought for $6.4 million in 2003
The second property is noticeably less maintained and its garden appears to have fallen into a state of disrepair
