Julia Roberts Says She and Husband Danny Moder Were ‘Stricter Parents’: ‘These Are the Rules’

Julia Roberts is opening up about her parenting style, revealing she and husband Danny Moder were among the “stricter parents” in their community.

According to Us Weekly, in an exclusive interview with George Clooney for 72 Magazine, Roberts discussed raising twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and son Henry, 18, in the digital age.

When Clooney asked about managing screen time, Roberts admitted her kids were “some of the last kids in their peer groups to get phones.”

“Danny and I would have been considered some of the stricter parents,” Roberts explained. “Not like we’re laying down the law, but these are the rules and they don’t change. Here’s the boundary of your life and it does not shift.”

The Pretty Woman star, 57, emphasized consistency was key: “You don’t ask me and get an answer and then go ask dad and get a different answer. That doesn’t happen.”

Roberts told Clooney, 64, this approach “creates the stability that then allows them to feel secure because you know there is this fixed world of love and safety that exists unconditionally.”

The actress previously told Today that their family followed “simple rules” like keeping devices at a “charging station” and “no phones at the table.”
