Acting is not the only dream come true, according to one of the top stars in Hollywood. The simple yet deep joy of coming home to her family at the end of a long day is also one of her greatest dream come true.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Mornings, Julia Roberts shared her feelings about her amazing career journey and her family life. She emphasized that though acting is her dream come true, it never really consumed her. It is not the only dream come true for her.

When asked about her other "dream come true", the Notting Hills actress gushed, "The life that I've built with my husband. The life that we've built with our children. And that's the best stuff. ... The point is to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them."

Love letters even in this millennia

The actress and husband, filmmaker Danny Moder, first met in 2000 on the set of The Mexican. They got married and had been Hollywood's most inspiring couples for over 20 years.

They share 3 kids namely Henry, 15 years old, and twins Phinneas and Hazel, both 17 years old.

Roberts revealed that they are the kind of couple that still writes and sends love letters to each other. It is something that they have "always done," People reported.

In fact, while filming Ticket to Paradise, her recent movie, in which she co-stars with George Clooney, she said that she has been sending her husband love letters.

She even shared that she still has the first ever love letter her husband has written for her. One day she plans to show it to her daughter Hazel and say that this is the kind of man she is looking for, someone like her daddy.

On Motherhood

In another interview with Hoda Kotb in Today, the 5-time Most Beautiful Woman by People's Magazine, boldly shared how she is not afraid to admit her fault as a mother to her children.

She acknowledged that there are times she "gripped with fear" of committing mistakes and missteps in motherhood. However, there are times that she just asked her kids to just take it off the board because she totally blew it.

She then expressed her gratitude that like her husband, her children arrived in her life at the perfect time. She met her husband when she was finally ready, and she had their children when they were ready to "best partner with them."

The actress was filming away from home for 62 days in a bubble in Australia, the longest she ever was away from her family. She cannot help but praise the Clooney family - wife Amal and twins Alexander and Ella, for keeping her sane during those times. She said that the Clooneys saved her from complete loneliness and despair.
