Much like other mothers in showbusiness, Roberts was asked about her mothering skills and about what she believed was the proper way to educate and teach. She even spoke about it when getting interviewed by Oprah.
According to her, she has her ups and her downs, just like with everything else in life, and with motherhood. Some days she feels like she’s got it, and other days — not so much. As she puts it, there is no such thing as mastering motherhood, and people need to know that before they decide to embark on a parenting journey, otherwise, they may be in for some big surprises.
Handling Rumors
Starting a rumor is incredibly easy in Hollywood, and Roberts knows all about it. Every once in a while, tabloids or online pseudo-journalists pop up with a rumor that she and Moder are about to break up, and that their marriage may end in divorce.
According to her, it can sometimes do nothing but hurt her feelings because she takes such pride in her marriage, and rightfully so since Roberts have been going strong for over 20 years now. But her number one priority is to make sure her children know the truth — mommy and daddy are very much in love and by no means are separating.
Insta Mom
Despite being regularly targeted by the paparazzi and tabloids alike, Roberts and Moder are known to lead a pretty private life out of the spotlight when possible. So joining Instagram was a big step for her when she finally made her account in the summer of 2018. However, it was a necessary step that helps her take better control over false rumors about her marriage.
Her opening an Instagram account was actually an idea offered by her children. Now featuring over 11 million followers, she's still learning how to balance Instagram with her private lifestyle. She is definitely not as active as most celebrities but at least she gets to control her narrative slightly.
There's Nothing Wrong With Reaching Out
Parenting, as we all know, is easier when done by two parents, as opposed to a single mom or single dad doing the job alone. Roberts made it a point that she believes women shouldn't be responsible for every single thing all the time if they have a loving and supporting partner.
During her interview with Oprah, she said there is nothing wrong with reaching out to a partner, friend, or even your own children if you need a hand for whatever reason. We think everyone can take a page out of Julia’s book, considering how hectic things can get at times.
Shout It From the Rooftops
There is no doubt that Roberts's best relationship is the one she has with Moder, and she speaks about it very proudly and openly. He is the love of her life, and he is, without a doubt, her best friend and the only person that she’s been able to stick with for such a long time.
She was interviewed about it not only by Oprah but also by actress and friend Gwyneth Paltrow on her podcast, "Goop." The podcast interview was open and candid, and she wasn't afraid to gush over her husband and let the world hear all about it.
