Julia Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder almost got divorced years ago because of the actress’s unique relationship with Richard Gere.
In its July 5 issue, OK! magazine claimed that Moder was very jealous of Gere because he had a flirty relationship with Roberts.
The A-listers starred in Pretty Woman together. And they became so close even after the filming wrapped up.
At one point, Moder allegedly confronted Roberts about her relationship with Gere and their fight escalated.
“They’d been having problems for a while and their fights led to him moving into a guesthouse on the property of their Malibu compound. He’d go surfing alone and take out his frustrations on the waves while Julia chauffeured the kids to school and all of their activities,” the source said.
The couple also stopped being in sync during this time. And they had to snap out of it all so that Moder could be more present for his children. And Roberts, on the other hand, had to take a break from her acting career so that she could focus on her marriage.
Today, the couple’s relationship has reportedly improved. Roberts is also more comfortable in her skin, and this helps her relationship a lot.
Meanwhile, Roberts is busy filming for Ticket to Paradise alongside George Clooney.
And even though she’s busy with her work, the actress decided to bring her husband and kids with her on location.
“Julia and Danny have turned the trip into a second honeymoon of sorts. They’re having so much fun you can practically hear her laughter for miles. It’s clear they’ve pulled their marriage back from the brink. Julia is so happy,” the source said.
This isn’t the first time that Moder and Roberts were rumored to have had some marital problems.
Two years ago, multiple tabloids also published a similar story about Roberts and Gere. Others also claimed that Moder is jealous of Clooney.
And when the actress decided to buy a house outside the city, the tabloids speculated that it was because Roberts was trying to get away from her husband and kids.
However, what the tabloids forgot to mention was Roberts and Moder have been married for years. And their union wouldn’t last this long if they are having a lot of problems in their relationship.
By the looks of it, the tabloids are just making up all sorts of lies about the couple.
