Julia Roberts' husband, Danny Moder, is not very active on social media, but he made an exception on July 4 to honor his wife.
The cinematographer, 56, hasn't posted on Instagram since May 16, but on Friday, he uploaded a fun snap of himself and Julia to celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary.

Relationship history
Julia and Danny met on the set of The Mexican back in 2002. Both were in relationships at the time, as Julia was dating Miss Congeniality star Benjamin Bratt, and Daniel was married to make-up artist Vera Steimberg.
But both relationships fizzled before they became a couple, with Julia previously stating: "He sorted his whole thing out, separate and apart from me."

The pair tied the knot in 2002 after Danny proposed with an emerald engagement ring worth a reported $4,000 – a modest price compared to other celebrity engagement rings.
They wed at Julia's 82-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico, but none of their guests knew they were attending their wedding until they arrived.

Julia didn't opt for a big, bold dress either and kept it simple. At the time, People reported that she wore "a pale pink cotton halter dress embroidered with pearls and antique beads and hand-painted with flowers".
Meanwhile, Danny donned "a red ruffled shirt and tan pants, exchanging simple handwritten vows".
Following their wedding, Julia and Danny grew their family and are now proud parents to 20-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and son Henry, 18.

"It's something Danny and I have always done," she confessed. "The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have it tucked away. One day I'll show it to [my daughter] Hazel and say, 'That's what you're looking for.'"
She added: "The life that I've built with my husband. The life that we've built with our children. And that's the best stuff, to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them."
