Roberts shares son Henry, 16, with husband Danny Moder, as well, who she also gushed about while promoting the new Netflix movie.
"Well, it all starts with Danny Moder, you know?" Julia said while speaking about her family on The Today Show. "He's just really our anchor and our person. And in the most beautiful way, the captain of our ship, you know, truly."
She continued, "And its not, like, giving it all away to him. It's just that for me, understanding how deeply felt life could be really started with him."
The pair have been married since 2002 after meeting on the set of the movie The Mexican. They would go on to welcome Hazel and Phinnaeus in 2004, and Henry three years later in 2007.
