Julia - who is a global ambassador for the luxury jewelry brand - took part in a 12-episode digital series for the campaign which gave a closer glimpse at her life in Hollywood. The mini short films were directed by James Gray and in one snippet, Myrtle could be seen jumping up next to the actress while on set. A release at the time described the BTS moments as the star 'spreading her joy and larks.

Love these guys.' During an interview with Today in 2023, Julia opened up about her children now that they are older. 'I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house, which is, you know, "Are you getting enough sleep?" 'And "You sound like you're sick." And "Are you drinking tea?" And "Text me when you get home you get home (so) I can see that you're home safe and sound."' The star added, 'And I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them and it's not eye-rolling and there's a huge amount of understanding.' Roberts also previously talked about her kids to Extra and said daughter Hazel takes clothing from her closet. However, the pair differ when it comes to taste in jewelry and explained, 'She's more bohemian in her aesthetic.' 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added Julia also made rare comments about her husband Daniel during an interview with British Vogue last year. While on the topic of how she maintains her 'lustrous youth,' the actress gave a special shout out to Moder. 'Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this - and I say it usually as kind of a joke - but I do believe in the love of a good man. 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added.
