Julia Roberts spotted in New York City with Henry, Hazel and Serge Normant

Julia Roberts was photographed in New York City with Henry and Hazel outside the Jane Hotel, a rare public outing with two of her three children. The sighting brought together Roberts, her son Henry, her daughter Hazel and Serge Normant in one of the few public family glimpses from a home life that is usually kept quiet.

Henry turns 19 in Manhattan

19 is the number attached to Henry now, and it puts the New York City outing in sharper focus. He has been studying at Pratt Institute in Manhattan, while Hazel is 21 and Phinnaeus is 21, both already in college. For a family that rarely shows its children publicly, that changes the frame from a celebrity photo to a real checkpoint in the children’s lives.

The Jane Hotel appearance also showed that Roberts was out with Serge Normant, her hairstylist, while Danny Moder was not seen on the visit. Roberts and Moder have been married since 2002, and the family has stayed notably private even as the children have grown up. A public walk in New York City becomes news here because it is one of the few times the family’s current shape is visible at once.

Rare Roberts and Moder glimpse

May 2025 gave a fuller family picture when Danny Moder posted a Mother’s Day photo on Instagram showing Roberts with all three kids. In November 2025, Roberts posted again for Hazel and Phinnaeus, writing, “These game changers, life alterers, expanders once were 1 and now are 21! That was fast. Happy Birthday my Dears.” Those posts, plus this outing, mark the limited moments when Roberts and Moder let the public see how the family has changed.

The practical takeaway is simple: the family is still keeping its private rhythm, but the children are no longer children. Henry is 19, Hazel and Phinnaeus are 21, and the next time Roberts appears with them in public will likely draw attention for the same reason this one did — it is unusual, and it shows just how far the family has moved beyond the early, tightly guarded years.
