Presently, Julia Roberts is not dating anyone but she is not single either. She has been living in marital bliss with her husband – cameraman Daniel Moder for the past 15 years which is like a lifetime as far as Hollywood relationships go.

Moder is best known for the TV film, The Normal Heart for which he received his first Primetime Emmy nomination. She met Daniel Moder on the set of her film The Mexican in 2000. She was still dating Benjamin Bratt at the time and Moder was husband to Vera Steimberg.

Apparently, they saw a bright future with each other which led Moder to file for divorce after which he married Roberts on July 4, 2002. The wedding ceremony took place at her ranch in Taos, New Mexico.

They have been together for close to two decades and share three children together – twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter Moder, born November 28, 2004, and a son named Henry Daniel Moder who joined the family on June 18, 2007.

Regardless of her current relationship status, the pretty woman has had her fair share of the hurdles that may come with falling in love in the past. Below is a complete list of all the men she dated before finding her safe haven.

Roberts dated Irish actor, Liam Neeson back when she was about 19 years old. The 16 years age difference between them was not a turn-off for the actress who was reportedly living with Liam at his Venice, California, home. They were costars in Satisfaction and were happy together until she met Steel Magnolias co-star Dylan McDermott.

Roberts and Dylan took their Steel Magnolias characters a bit too seriously and continued their on-set romance in the real world. They even got engaged before ending the relationship which was rather brief.

Still keeping it in the family by dating actors, Roberts and her Flatliners co-star Kiefer Sutherland dated briefly before getting engaged in 1990. Sadly, Kiefer’s interest in a certain stripper – Amanda Rice, became the last straw that broke the camel’s back, among other habits he portrayed, drinking was inclusive.

He was one of her short flings and also served as her knight in shining armor who rescued her from marrying Kiefer Sutherland. Roberts ran off with actor Jason on the day she was supposed to tie the knot with Kiefer; just like in the movies. Well, unlike in the movies, the romance faded away in no time with no happily ever after in view.

Daniel Day-Lewis (1995)

Though she ran off on what would have been her first wedding day, the actress later braced it up and got married to someone else in the entertainment industry; not that we are surprised. Though he is best known as a country singer-songwriter, Lyle Lovett is also an actor. They met on the set of The Player and three weeks of romance later, they eloped and said ‘I Do’ at the St. James Lutheran Church in Marion, Indiana in June 1993. Barely two years after getting married, tight schedules – due to their blooming careers, ripped them apart. They divorced in 1995 but remained friends.
