Julia Roberts is taking a break from promoting her latest movie, Leave the World Behind (which is coming to Netflix on December 8), to wish her twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel, a happy birthday on social media.

In honor of them turning the big 1-9, the Pretty Woman star shared a super rare throwback photo of her two oldest kids from when they were newborns. 

Yesterday on Instagram, the 56-year-old actress posted a grainy black-and-white picture of herself sitting cross-legged and holding her twin babies, who are both wearing white onesies. Roberts wrote in the caption, “19 [star emojis] There are no words for the joy, the fun, the wild rumpus of life together.”

Fans flooded the comments section with birthday messages. One user commented, “Happiest birthday to both of you! Lots of Love!” Another follower shared their birthday wishes, writing, “Happy Birthdays to you all!!” alongside pink swirling heart emojis. 

Roberts shares Phinnaeus and Hazel with her husband, Daniel Moder, 54, in addition to their son Henry, who just turned 17 back in June. 

Though it’s a rare occasion, this isn’t the first time the Ticket to Paradise alum has posted a throwback baby photo of her two children online. Back in November 2021, Roberts uploaded a snap of her twins as babies. In the photo, she is smiling while holding Phinnaeus and Hazel, who are sporting white knit hats. She captioned the post, “17 of the Sweetest years of life.”

Now if we can just get a photo of the twins now please...
