Julia Roberts recently opened up about how she parents her children now that they are growing into adults in an interview with Today while promoting her film "Leave the World Behind." Roberts shares three children with husband Danny Moder: 19-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 16-year-old Henry. "I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house, which is, 'Are you getting enough sleep? You sound like you're sick. Are you drinking enough tea? Text me when you get home. I can see that you're home safe and sound,'" she said. "And I have immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them, and it's not eye-rolling. There's a huge amount of understanding." In the interview, Roberts was joined by her "Leave the World Behind" co-star, Mahershala Ali, who asked her "Is it a different discomfort, you leaving and traveling for work and all that? Compared to them leaving and going to college?" Roberts responded saying, Yeah. And it's funny too, right now me being away," Roberts replied. "And so Henry and Danny are home, and then I'm in another time zone, and then Phinn is somewhere and Hazel is somewhere, and we were all on a FaceTime the other day — together, all of us. And it was so fun. I might have had a towel on my wet head. We were all so happy to be together that way that we still are so deeply in love."

Roberts and Moder met while working on "The Mexican" in 2000 and tied the knot two years later. They welcomed their twins in 2004 and Henry in 2006. "He's just really our anchor and our person," Roberts said of Moder during the "Today" interview. "And in the most beautiful way, the captain of our ship, you know, truly. For me, understanding how deeply felt life could be really started with him."
