It's hard to believe that actress Julia Roberts' twins are 17 years old. It definitely doesn't seem like she welcomed them that long ago, but it's true. Hazel and Phinn just celebrated their 17th birthday, and their mom gave them an adorable shout-out on Instagram.
Julia posted a super-cute throwback pic of Hazel and Phinn as babies. The actress was obviously feeling all of the emos on her twins' birthday.
"17 of the Sweetest years of life ✨ ♥️ . ," she captioned the adorable throwback.
It seems especially hard to believe that Hazel and Phinn are practically grown because, well, we've hardly ever seen them. The two have been basically off the radar since their birth. At least now we're getting to see baby pictures. Finally!
Julia and her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, are also the parents of son Henry Daniel, 14. But none of the kids really make it on Julia's social media that often. Still, we're happy to catch a glimpse whenever she gives us one.
Julia is also very close with her niece, actress Emma Roberts. Emma responded to her aunt's post in the comments and showed the twins a bit of love. She left three simple heart emojis in the comments.
Prior to the throwback pic, Hazel did make an appearance alongside her dad at the 74th Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Flag Day. It was actually her red carpet debut. Given that a lot of celebrities start bringing their children to red carpets as babies, that's really saying something about how far out of the spotlight the twins have managed to stay.
As for Julia and Danny, they're happy to show off on social media. Julia just posted a cute pic of the two of them, snuggled up on a beach. It was shared in honor of their 19th anniversary. They look as in love as ever.
Julia is definitely a proud mama and a happy wife, as well as an advocate for many marginalized communities. It'll be interesting to see if her twins become more engaged with the public and start using their voices, too, now that they're practically grown adults. Only time will tell!
