Who is Phinnaeus Moder?
Being a celebrity child for many means that they don’t have a private life, and that the paparazzi are always following them around. However, Julia Roberts, the famous “Pretty Woman“ actress, has managed to keep her children’s lives away from the public eye.
That doesn’t mean that we couldn’t find out the naked truth about her son, Phinnaeus Moder, and share it with you through this article.
Phinnaeus was born on 28 November 2004, in Los Angeles, California USA; he holds American nationality while he comes from a family of Swedish, German, English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh descent from his mother’s side, while from his father’s side, Phinnaeus has Austrian heritage.
Raised by his protective parents, Julia and his father Daniel ‘Danny’ Moder, Phiennaus has rarely been seen in public, but what we do know is that he’s a big fan of extreme sports, especially skateboarding. His father once shared a video featuring Phinneaus doing some tricks with his skateboard; he also likes surfing and riding BMX.
Siblings
Phinneaus has a twin sister, Hazel, and a younger brother Henry, who was born on 18 June 2007. Hazel is the couple’s only daughter, and both Daniel and Julia are very private about her life, too.
However, in her interview for InStyle back in 2017, Julia shared that Hazel cut her hair and donated it to the organization called Wigs for Kids. Hazel was most recently seen on the red carpet at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival with her father, and people commented on how beautiful she is, saying that she inherited her mother’s recognizable smile.
Speaking of Henry, the youngest one, he’s also well-protected from the public eye, although Daniel once shared a video featuring Henry doing a backflip on a trampoline, and judging by some other photos and videos, Henry is also into extreme sports as his brother Phinnaeus.
