JULIA'S MARRIAGE TO DANNY MODER IS IN CRISIS
By MICHAEL GLYNN
Julia Roberts' three-year
marriage to cameraman
Danny Moder is on the
rocks. Sources say the
couple have been spending
more and more time apart
since the birth of their twins almost
a year ago.
Now, amid constant fighting, they
plan to live apart — and friends fear
it could destroy their relationship
forever!
Sources close to the couple told The
National Enquirer the pressures of
parenthood have put an intolerable
strain on their marriage, which
began so promisingly with an
Independence Day wedding in 2002.
Their sex life is believed to have
suffered, say insiders, and Danny has
objected to the way his Oscar-winning
wife calls the shots at home
over everything from kids to careers.
"There is something wrong and
neither wants to talk about it," said
a source very close to the pair.
"Danny is distant and Julia wants to
be on her own. I think something is
definitely amiss." Pretty Woman
star Julia, 38, has been spending
more time with the children at her
$5 million ranch in Taos, New
Mexico — while her husband has
remained in Los Angeles.
Now she intends to live in their
New York apartment with the
twins while she appears in a
Broadway play. In the meantime,
Danny, 36, will stay in
Malibu, California, and oversee
multi-million dollar renovations
to their ocean-view home.
The sources say tension has
been brewing in the marriage
since son Phinnaeus and
daughter Hazel were born last
November.
"Julia and Danny love each other
deeply, but the pressures of a new
family have pulled them apart," said
the family friend. "They hope that
by spending some time apart they
will get their marriage exactly back
on track.
"So while Julia is in rehearsal in
New York for her Broadway play,
Three Days Of Rain, Danny will be
all the way across the country in
Malibu. That way, he can also surf
to his heart's content and look for
film work at the same time. Julia
really loves those children, but she
hasn't been working as hard as
she'd probably like on movies,
which is very new to her. It's been a
tough year."
