Julia Roberts’ rarely-seen adult son made his first solo public appearance over the weekend.
The actress, 58, and her husband Daniel “Danny” Moder, share twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 21, and younger son Henry, 19, all of whom are currently college students.
Over the Labor Day weekend, the pair’s older son Phinnaeus was seemingly photographed at the 2026 US Open in New York City, marking his very first solo sighting and a rare public appearance altogether.

The strapping young adult was spotted out and about in New York City in June with his mom, although the actress and her cameraman husband usually aim to keep their kids out of the spotlight.
Julia opened up last year to her friend and former co-star George Clooney about herself and Daniel being seen as two of the “stricter” parents in their group, especially when it comes to something like screen time and internet use.

“I’m worried about my kids; we keep them off the internet as much as we can,” the Syriana star, who shares twins Ella and Alexander with wife Amal Clooney, noted. “But, you know, some of their homework is done on a computer. And they do like to watch a good Snoopy movie and things like that. But I wonder what your version of it is.”

“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. You know, you don’t ask me and get an answer and then go ask dad and get a different answer. That doesn’t happen. It will never happen.”
She continued: “I think that is what 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.”
