Julia Roberts' son just reached a special milestone.
On Wednesday, June 18, the Pretty Woman star, 57, shared a rare throwback photo of her son Henry in honor of his 18th birthday. In the snap, a much younger Henry wears a green hoodie and looks directly into the camera.
"In the blink of a joyful eye this beacon of a boy is ⚡️ 18 ⚡️ I love you Henry. #goldenboy #goldenbirthday," Roberts wrote in her caption.
Roberts shares her three kids — Henry and twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20 – with husband Danny Moder.
This past May, Roberts' husband Moder shared a rare photo of his wife and their three kids to celebrate Mother's Day. In the photo, Roberts sat in the middle of her three kids as they all looked at the camera with bright smiles.
"Mothers make the coolest stuff," Moder wrote in the caption. "Love these guys."
During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in December 2023, Roberts opened up about Henry being the only child left at home after his two siblings headed off to college.
"I think it's a good 50/50 split. He's loving it. And I think he misses his people," Roberts said, noting that all three of her kids are doing "great."
The Oscar winner credits her early career success with allowing her to be with them as they accomplish new milestones.
"By the time I had the success of my family life and had a husband and children who wanted to stay at home, I had been working for 18 years. And so I felt that I had the luxury. I didn't have to pick one or the other," she told British Vogue in January.
The ability to focus on her kids is something she called a "luxury."
"It was easy to pause work life to nurture my home life. And so, because I have girlfriends who were having to juggle being at work and having to go into the bathroom, and you know, get out that breast pump, I sort of went through that with them by proxy," she told the outlet. "To be allowed the luxury of staying home and being with my family, I had a deep gratitude for that time."
