  • Julia Roberts and Husband Danny Moder in Therapy?

    Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder are reportedly attending couples therapy. Fans needn’t worry, however. The Pretty Woman star and her cameraman hubby aren’t headed to divorce court.

    “The marriage is not in trouble,” a family member said during a recent interview. “But the second Julia noticed they were growing apart, she warned Danny that divorce was not an option.”

    Julia Roberts and her costar Richard Gere have been celebrating the 25th anniversary of Pretty Woman this month, and when she read a report that said her marriage was headed for divorce, she considered all the time she was spending away promoting the anniversary. As soon as she returned home she set up counseling sessions.

    “They don’t want that spark between them to fade, and the counseling sessions are more of an intentional meeting so they don’t grow apart,” the source explained. “Now they have a committed time and day where they show up at their therapist’s office and talk. It’s often the only time all week that they’re together alone.”

    Julia Roberts and Danny Moder are the parents of three children. Twins Hazel and Phinnaeus are 10, and Henry is seven. Between their careers and their kids, they–like so many couples–often feel like they’re drifting apart.

    Roberts did something big for their marriage–in addition to scheduling couples counseling–when she agreed to star in an upcoming film called The Secret in Their Eyes. She convinced Danny Moder to sign on as cinematographer–and he agreed. That means Julia Roberts will get to be on set and spend time with her husband, too.

    Are you impressed with how Julia Roberts refuses to allow her 12 year marriage to grow stale? If the two are in fact talking with a counselor and making plans to spend scheduled time communicating, then she has taken steps neither of them will ever regret.

  • Julia Roberts Will Celebrate ‘Pretty Woman’ 25th Anniversary on ‘Today Show’

    Julia Roberts will join Richard Gere and other stars of the 1990 film Pretty Woman to celebrate its 25th anniversary on the Today Show this coming Tuesday, March 24th. Costars Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo, as well as director Garry Marshall will also join in the celebration.

    The release of Pretty Woman set Julia Roberts and her acting career soaring straight to bona fide stardom. Roberts earned her second Oscar nomination and her first Oscar for her role as hooker Vivian Ward. Vivian is hired in Pretty Woman to serve as an escort for Edward Lewis, a wealthy businessman played by Richard Gere. Ward and Lewis eventually fall in love, but not until a transformation akin to a modern day version of the one that takes place in My Fair Lady transpires.

    The celebration that airs on Today this Tuesday will feature a reunion of sorts. Jason Alexander, who played the rather sleazy Philip Stuckey, and who later became famous for his role on Seinfeld, is noticeably absent, however. When the gang gets together for their interview with Matt Lauer, lots of fun and laughter is in store for everyone–both on the set and for those watching at home, too.

    Julia Roberts and the rest of the cast, along with Garry Marshall, will reportedly share their favorite moments from Pretty Woman.

    Julia Roberts was just 22 when she starred in Pretty Woman, and the only big credits under her acting belt at that time were Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias.

    Will you be tuning in to the Today Show on NBC on Tuesday morning to see Matt Lauer interview Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and more as they celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pretty Woman?
