The actress and husband Danny Moder share three kids together: twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, as well as son Henry Daniel, 19.

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbertin October, the After the Huntstar opened up about how her three kids have all officially moved out of the house. When the topic was brought up at the start of the segment, she jokingly said, “I don’t know if sobbing now is the best jumping off point to our interview.”

After commiserating with Colbert about the sadness of her kids moving out of the house, Roberts shared that being an “empty nester” will never stop her from being close with her children.

“It’s all fun, honestly,” she said. “It’s also delicious. My kids — I know everyone thinks their kids are great, well… I think my kids are great.”

“I love hanging out with them and spending time with them,” Roberts continued. “Fortunately, we have had lots of visits along the way of this empty nest.”

Roberts has always prioritized her family, even as her career has earned her an Academy Award and dozens of acting credits. In October 2022, the proud mom of three told CBS Sunday Morningthat while being an actress was her “dream come true,” it wasn’t her “only dream come true.”

“The life that I’ve built with my husband,” she told the outlet of another dream that had come true. “The life that we’ve built with our children. And that’s the best stuff, to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.”

Roberts also revealed that she sent letters home while away in Australia for 62 days filming Ticket to Paradise. She noted that writing letters is something she and Moder have “always done” and she plans to one day show her children.

“I have the first letter he ever wrote me … And one day, I’ll show it to Hazel and say, ‘That’s, that’s what you’re looking for,’ ” said Roberts.
