"Pretty woman" Julia Roberts blessed with a baby boy

Pretty woman Julia Roberts and her cinematographer hubby Daniel Moder have got lucky the third time. The couple is celebrating the birth of their new born child, a boy named Henry Daniel Moder.

The Academy award-winning star has given birth to her third child at a Los Angeles hospital on Monday, Roberts’ representative, Marcy Engelman said. Henry is her third child with husband Danny Moder, after their two-year-old twin children, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus Walter.

"The Moder family is doing great," celebrity news magazine People quoted Engelman as saying in its online edition. The new born baby weighed 3.86 kilograms, the publicist added.

The news of Julia’s pregnancy surfaced in media in December and her spokeswoman Engelman later confirmed it, revealing that the baby is due this summer.

Julia met Daniel Moder in 2000 on the sets of her movie ‘The Mexican’. Daniel was married to Vera Steimberg Moder, but they eventually divorced. Roberts, 39, and husband Danny Moder, 38, tied the knot on July 4, 2002, at Roberts' ranch in Taos, New Mexico.

On November 28, 2004, they became proud parents of twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus.

Before meeting Moder, Roberts was hooked up with Kiefer Sutherland, her co-star in ‘Flatliners’ in 1990. They had even announced plans for their wedding, but eventually broke up when Roberts discovered that Sutherland was having an affair with a striper named Amanda Rice.

The star of "Pretty Woman" and "Erin Brockovich" walked down the aisle with country singer Lyle Lovett, but the couple divorced after two years.

She has also dated television actor Benjamin Bratt, ‘Friend’s’ star Matthew Perry, actor Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson.

Born as Julie Fiona Roberts, on October 28, 1967, she embarked on the journey of stardom as a supporting actor in her early teens. She garnered her first Oscar nomination for the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for the movie ‘Steel Magnolias’.

Her career sprang up in late 1990’s with the release of her romantic comedy ‘Pretty Woman’, opposite Richard Gere. Her role in pretty woman bagged her Oscar nomination for the ‘Best Actress’.

Her next triumphant project was ‘Sleeping with the Enemy’ (1990), which has become quite a classic. Other esteemed roles during the 1990s were in movies like ‘The Pelican Brief’ (1996), with Denzel Washington, ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ (1997), as well as 1999’s ‘Notting Hill’, with Hugh Grant. After this, Roberts became the highest paid actress in the world, topping the ‘Hollywood Reporter's’ annual power list of top-earning female stars for four successive years, from 2002 to 2005.

The American film actress and former fashion model finally won an Oscar in 2001 for her critically acclaimed role in the movie ‘Erin Brockovich’.

Often referred to as "America's Sweetheart" because of her fame and wholesome image, Julia has taken a break from acting in recent years. She was last seen in Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's 12" in 2004.

Last year, she made her Broadway debut as Nan in ‘Three Days of Rain’ opposite Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd, at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in midtown-Manhattan.

She will next be seen in Afghanistan war drama "Charlie Wilson's War", directed by Mike Nichols. Julia is starring as “Joanne Herring” in the drama film alongside Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The film is due for release later this year.
