After a series of failed engagements and a marriage in her 20s, during which she earned the title of a runaway bride, Roberts finally discovered lasting love with Moder. The beginning of their relationship, however, was marked by a minor hurdle – Moder was still married to his first wife, Vera Steimberg, when he and Roberts first crossed paths.

Nevertheless, Moder promptly ended his marriage, solidifying his commitment to Roberts. Their love story has endured for two decades, demonstrating a genuine and lasting connection.
In June 2002, the couple tied the knot, marking an end to Roberts’ escapades as a runaway bride. Public glimpses into their relationship affirm the extraordinary bond they share. In a 2018 interview with Gwyneth Paltrow, Roberts expressed their genuine liking for each other, emphasizing the joy they find in each other’s company.
Several years into their marriage, the couple expanded their family with twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, now 18, and a son named Henry, 15. Roberts openly shares her deep enjoyment of motherhood, emphasizing the timing of bringing children into their lives when they were ready.

In interviews with “Today” and “CBS Sunday Mornings,” Roberts revealed that her greatest dream fulfilled is her role as a mother and wife, relishing the life they’ve built together.
Despite the demands of juggling a career in acting and raising three teenagers, Roberts finds immense satisfaction in her home life, proudly describing herself as a “desperately fulfilled housewife.” She doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the challenges of motherhood but remains appreciative of the joy it brings.
While her onscreen appearances have become less frequent, Roberts prioritizes her family life, engaging in everyday activities like laundry, sewing, school runs, and cooking.

She views cooking three meals a day for her family as a privilege and an honor, emphasizing its significance in fostering family togetherness. Sitting down for meals with her kids daily, Roberts sees it as a valuable time to start and wind down together, underscoring the importance of family rituals in her life.
