TAOS (New Mexico), July 4: Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts began her Fourth of July celebration with fireworks, marrying movie cameraman Daniel Moder on Thursday in a star-studded midnight ceremony at her sprawling ranch in New Mexico.

“I’m confirming that Julia Roberts has married Daniel Molder, but that’s all we’re saying for now,” Roberts’ publicist, Marcy Engleman, said.

The 34-year-old Roberts, who has been married once before to offbeat country singer Lyle Lovett, fell for the married Moder after meeting him two years ago on the set of “The Mexican.

Last month Moder, 33, left his wife of five years — make-up artist Vera Steinberg.

An invitation was intercepted by reporters on Wednesday stating that an annual barbecue was planned. All invited guests, including actors George Clooney and Brad Pitt, were asked to wear white linen.—Reuters
