JULIA’S ROMANTIC ITALIAN VACAY

With almost two decades of marriage under their belts, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder have certainly surpassed Hollywood standards of a long union. And by the looks of their recent Italian holiday, the couple are still just as loved up as when they tied the knot back in 2002.

The 53-year-old actress and her cinematographer husband, 52, were spotted packing on the PDA in Positano, Italy, on August 12. Lapping up the sun aboard their luxury yacht, the couple appeared very affectionate as they stopped throughout the day for several sweet embraces.

They also decided to add a little thrillseeking to their idyllic European vacation, jumping onto a jetski together to explore the dreamy surrounds of the Italian coast.

It was a rare sighting of the pair together, having long preferred to keep their romance out of the spotlight. Despite constant whispers in recent years that their marriage is on the rocks, the couple proved that not only is their relationship surviving, but thriving, almost 20 years on.

Last month, the pair celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary with two equally heartfelt posts on Instagram. Alongside a loved-up snap of the pair, Roberts shared they are “just getting started!” Meanwhile, Moder added a touch of nostalgia to his sweet tribute. “Today we start our 20th year of marriage,” he captioned a throwback snap. “This photo was on a dusty road before that big idea … just holding on to this beautiful girl one day at a time.”

TRUE LOVE While the couple’s romance got off to an interesting start – Moder was married to Vera Steimberg and Roberts was coupled up with actor Benjamin Bratt when they met on the set of The Mexican in 2000 – their union has stood the test of time.
