Julia Roberts gave a special shout-out to her husband Danny Moder in honor of their 24th wedding anniversary on Saturday.
The Pretty Woman star, 58, marked the occasion by posting a rare photo to Instagram that showed her leaning into her man and sweetly resting her head on his shoulder.
It captured a moment of contentment between the two, who both wore dark shades against the glare of what looked like an afternoon sun.
‘TWENTY FOUR. MORE MORE MORE,’ the actress wrote in the caption.
The couple married in a surprise Fourth of July ceremony in 2002 at Roberts’ 32-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico after meeting on the set of The Mexican, an action-comedy starring Brad Pitt as a bumbling criminal and Roberts as his frustrated girlfriend.
Roberts, who was recently spotted in New York City with her elder son Phinnaeus, was an international movie star while Moder worked quietly behind the scenes as a cinematographer, but they connected deeply over their shared love of filmmaking, surfing and an eco-friendly way of life.

Their 6,000-square-foot bluff-top home in Malibu is equipped with rooftop solar panels, greenhouses and beehives.
They have three children, 21-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, who are both attending college, and 19-year-old Henry, who is currently studying art and design in Manhattan.
Roberts isn’t one to saturate the internet with family pictures, which makes her latest post all the more special.
It drew gushing responses from celebrity friends such as Rita Wilson who wrote: ‘Happy happy happy anniversary Moders!!! Love rules! Love wins!!!’
Ali Wentworth echoed that sentiment with a statement of her own: ‘Happy Anniversary to the ultimate couple!!! Sending you loads of love!’
Last year, while promoting the movie After the Hunt, Roberts told Entertainment Tonight that Moder remained the greatest source of joy in her life.
‘Never changes. Never changes! Sometimes more. Sometimes medium,’ she said.
The A-lister previously opened up about her family life in October 2022 during an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning.

‘When I’m not working, (being a homemaker) is my full-time job,’ the Pretty Woman said in 2022
‘When I’m not working, (being a homemaker) is my full-time job,’ Roberts said. ‘It isn’t rainbows and kittens every day, but it does bring me a lot of joy. It’s just never consumed me, being an actor. It is my dream come true, but it is not my only dream come true.
‘The life that I have built with my husband (and) the life that we’ve built with our children, that’s the best stuff. To come home at the end of the day, triumphantly, to them.’
She also described the way she and Moder keep their connection alive when apart.
‘(Writing handwritten notes is) something Danny and I have always done,’ she revealed. ‘The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have it tucked away. One day, I’ll show it to Hazel and say, “That’s what you’re looking for.”‘
