Julia Roberts Shares Throwback Baby Photo of Her Twins in Honor of Their 17th Birthday

Julia Roberts may not post on social media often, but when she does, it is always worth the wait.

Yesterday, the Pretty Woman actress celebrated the birthday of her two oldest kids, twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, who each turned 17 years old. It was obviously a special moment for the 54-year-old star, because she marked the occasion with a never-before-seen throwback on her Instagram account.

Roberts uploaded a photo from when her twins were babies, and she captioned the image, “17 of the Sweetest years of life.” In the shot, Roberts is seen smiling in the corner as she peeks over the heads of Phinnaeus and Hazel, who are donning knit hats and fluttering their eyes as they fall asleep.

Emma Roberts, who is the niece of the Notting Hill actress, left a series of red hearts in the comments, while the Be Love apparel brand said, “A beautiful bundle of love!”

Roberts wasn't the only one honoring the important milestone on social media.

Her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, also shared a throwback to his Instagram account. In Moder's post, the birthday kids are a bit older, and they're seen wearing matching Wonder Woman outfits while eating breakfast. In the caption, Moder said, “These rabble rousers… 17 today. thank you for helping me through fatherhood.”

Roberts and Moder first met on the set of the comedy film The Mexican back in 2000, where Roberts starred and Moder worked as an assistant camera member. The pair then wed in 2002 on Roberts's ranch in New Mexico. Along with Phinnaeus and Hazel, the couple have a third child, Henry Daniel (14).

We can't wait to see what throwbacks they share when the twins turn 18.
