This sounds serious! But it’s only Star Mag so it’s probably not true. Still, if I told you that I was having some weird feelings about Julia Roberts’ marriage, wouldn’t you say to yourself, “I bet she’s right”? Julia and Danny Moder have never been big on the public displays of affection or anything like that. Have they ever walked a red carpet together? I don’t think so. Not that public displays are indicative of anything, I was just sitting here trying to remember if we’ve ever been like, “Oh, they seem so in love.” So they’ve made it 12 years together, they have three kids and now Star is saying that it’s pretty much over.
The warning signs have been there for years: countless public squabbles, questions about fidelity and serious tension with the in-laws. And now, after almost 12 years of marriage, friends fear that Julia Roberts and Danny Moder are finally ready to call it quits.
Trust has been an issue with the couple since they first got together — in large part because Danny was married to another woman when he and the actress first got together.
“Julia’s whole M.O. is to keep Danny by her side, because she’s petrified he’ll cheat,” a source tells Star. “So she treats him like a child, checking his phone, looking for emails and texts from other women and monitoring who he socializes with and when. She rules the house with an iron fist and uses the fact that she brings in the bulk of their income to control Danny.”
The drama at home couldn’t come at a worse time for the August: Osage County star. Her half sister, Nancy Motes, committed suicide in February, and reportedly left a suicide note bashing her famous sister — and Danny didn’t agree with the way Julia treated Nancy, either.
“Nancy’s death really made Danny realize how heartless Julia can be,” an insider explains.
Still, image maintenance for Julia means that the couple may not be able to split right away, and for the sake of their three children, Danny has been sticking around.
Star also says that Danny wanted to do some work on a documentary about ocean pollution and Julia’s first response was “I’m not funding it.” I don’t know y’all… doesn’t this sound like Julia? I have no problem believing that Julia keeps Danny on a tight leash and that she’s in charge of everything, and when Danny tries to do anything apart from her, she’s not happy. But does all of that mean “divorce”? Or does it just mean they have a crappy marriage? A Low Vera indeed.
