Julia Roberts’ Twins Hazel and Phinnaeus: All Grown Up in 2026
Time flies in the Roberts-Moder household. In November 2025, Julia Roberts’ fraternal twins, Hazel Patricia Moder and Phinnaeus Walter Moder (often called Finn), celebrated their 21st birthday — officially stepping into adulthood. Born on November 28, 2004, the twins are now young adults navigating life away from the intense glare of Hollywood, thanks to their parents’ deliberate choice to raise them with as much normalcy as possible.
Julia Roberts, who turned 58 in 2025, marked the milestone with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring an adorable throwback photo of the twins as toddlers sitting in high chairs. She captioned it: “These game changers, life alterers, ❤️expanders once were 1 and now are 21! That was fast 😭 Happy Birthday my dears.” The emotional post reflected every parent’s bittersweet feeling of watching their children grow up too quickly. At the 2025 Gotham Film Awards, Julia described the experience of seeing her twins reach 21 as “amazing,” acknowledging how fast the years have passed.
Hazel and Phinnaeus have largely stayed out of the spotlight. The family has prioritized privacy, splitting time between homes in California, New Mexico, New York, and Hawaii. While many celebrity children pursue entertainment careers, Julia and husband Danny Moder have encouraged their kids to explore their own paths. Reports suggest the twins began college around 2022, with one reportedly interested in fine arts and the other in computer and information sciences. Hazel, in particular, has shown creative inclinations and made a rare red carpet appearance with her father at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival for his film Flag Day.
Now in 2026, the twins represent a new chapter for the Roberts-Moder family. With younger brother Henry (born 2007) also moving toward college life, Julia has openly discussed the transition to an emptier nest. Yet she remains deeply involved and proud, often calling motherhood her most important role. Danny Moder occasionally shares touching family moments on social media, offering rare glimpses of the close-knit bond the five share.
Despite Julia’s global fame, the twins grew up relatively grounded. They were homeschooled at times and traveled with their parents, but were shielded from early exposure to celebrity culture. Julia has credited Danny’s steady presence and their shared values for creating a stable, loving environment.
As Hazel and Phinnaeus turn 22 later this year, they stand as a testament to successful private parenting in a very public world. While the world may be curious about their next steps — whether in arts, tech, or something entirely different — one thing is certain: they have a strong foundation built on love, privacy, and unconditional support from one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples.
In many ways, the twins embody what Julia has always valued most — not fame or fortune, but the quiet, profound joy of family. As she often says, watching them grow has been one of life’s greatest adventures.
