Julia Roberts, known for her down-to-earth lifestyle, rarely exposes her family to the public eye. However, her 16-year-old daughter, Hazel, recently made waves with her inaugural appearance on the red carpet.
Accompanied by her father, cinematographer Daniel Moder, Hazel attended the Cannes Film Festival to support her father’s work on the film “Flag Day,” directed by Sean Penn. Despite not having a role in the film, Hazel’s striking beauty captivated onlookers.Dressed in a soft yellow lace gown and black Mary Jane heels, Hazel exuded elegance with her modest makeup and ponytail hairstyle.
Her resemblance to her parents drew admiration, with some noting her mother’s nose and others highlighting her father’s handsome features.While Hazel’s future aspirations remain undisclosed due to her family’s preference for privacy, Julia Roberts has emphasized the importance of shielding her children from the spotlight.
Despite her own fame and fortune, Roberts maintains a grounded demeanor and prioritizes her family’s well-being.In past interviews, Roberts has shared her children’s curiosity about her celebrity status, highlighting the generation gap in understanding fame. Nonetheless, she remains committed to providing guidance and support to her children as they navigate adolescence in today’s world.
She saved letters from her husband to show Hazel
When Julia was in Australia for a few months filming Ticket to Paradise, she wrote letters home to Danny and her children — a tradition she’s upheld for years. She told CBS Sunday Mornings that while emails may be easier, she was saving the sweet love letters she and Danny had once written each other to share with her daughter when she’s older.
“It’s something Danny and I have always done,” Julia said. “The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have it tucked away. One day I’ll show it to Hazel and say, ‘That’s what you’re looking for.’ ”
Julia has attempted to keep her kids’ lives private as much as possible
Julia has always been protective of her children’s privacy, rarely posting pictures of them on her social media.
“We try to protect our kids,” she told USA Today in 2013. “We just want to have our family life and not have that intruded upon.”
When the twins turned 19 in November 2023, Julia shared a rare photo of the two from when they were babies.
“It is something to be celebrated, and I know Instagram is a place where people like to share happy things,” she explained to Extra in December 2023 about why she decided to give a glimpse of her kids. “I love them so much and I really did just happen to come upon this cute picture. It allows me to share something as a proud parent of them without infringing on their privacy at all.”
