After The Hunt's Julia Roberts And Danny Moder Married After Latter's Divorce, Became Parents Of 3

First love is always special, and lucky are those whose first partners end up as their lasts. However, failing at a first relationship is a common experience that often leads to a richer, more mature second chance at love. That was the case for After The Hunt actress, Julia Roberts and cinematographer, Danny Moder. Both of them were romantically involved with different people when they met. However, they felt a spark, and love blossomed, culminating in a two-decade-long union.

How did Julia Roberts and Danny Moder meet?

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder met on the set of The Mexican (2001). Danny was the cameraman of the movie, and Julia was the lead actress, starring opposite Brad Pitt. At that time, both Julia and Danny had different partners. She was dating Mother of the Bride actor, Benjamin Bratt, and he was married to makeup artist, Vera Steimberg. But when it comes to matters of the heart, nobody has control over it, nor did Julia and Danny. Eventually, they found themselves developing feelings for each other.

Mentioning it as the reason for their getting together, Julia said:
