Other than meeting and marrying Moder, Roberts has had different turning points in her life. She’s been there and done that when it comes to the Academy Awards. She’s not only had children but twins at that. Another one of those big turning points was turning forty. Now in her 50s, she has a full perspective on that event in her life.
She spoke to Paltrow about the great benefits that came with the age. Roberts admitted that this was when she started to find self-acceptance and inner strength — something that she believes many women go through when they enter their 40s.
Even After All These Years
We are all familiar with the different stages that relationships go through, and we all know that time is a huge factor to consider. Danny and Julia have had their ups and downs, they have yelled at each other and been disappointed by one another, however, they never lose the way home.
Paltrow asked her friend about their decades spent together and Roberts said that the years have been kind to them and brought them closer together. After spending all this time together (over 20 years, to be more precise), their relationship is deeper and more complex in the best way possible.
The Power of Differences
When asked to elaborate on the things that make her and Moder work so well together, Roberts had her answers all locked and loaded. She was prepared for everything, and there was no surprising her with questions that could potentially put her on the spot. No siree.
She explains that they do things differently and that their differences create a certain harmony between them. You know how it goes, It’s almost like they finish each other’s sentence, and one's yin is the other's yang. To put it simply — they complete each other and are a match made in heaven.
Knowing Her Priorities
After starring in iconic films and being famously known as the most beautiful woman in the world (a staggering five times), you'd think everyday events wouldn't be very exciting for Roberts. But being such a modest woman, even smaller things still manage to touch her and send her into a frenzy of excitment.
After all, the woman's successful career has taken her far and wide on Hollywood’s doorstep, all while banking her some serious cash. That's more than most of us even dream of. Still, the actress considers her 40th birthday epiphanies and relationship with her husband far more monumental.
Half a Century
If you thought turning forty was the last of Roberts's meaningful birthdays, you are sadly mistaken. The celebration of her fiftieth birthday was just her kind of incredible. The initial plan was to get away with her hubby for five days and have no contact with the outside world whatsoever, and just bathe in and enjoy each other’s company.
However, halfway through these five days of bliss, she realized that she was actually missing her kids terribly. Being the perfect hubby that Moder is he then secretly arranged for all three of them to come and surprise their mom, which moved her to tears.
