(Nov. 28) - Julia Roberts has given birth to twins – a boy and a girl – in a Los Angeles hospital, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The 37-year-old actress, who is married to cameraman Danny Moder, 35, gave birth at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning, a source tells PEOPLE. No other details are immediately available. (Roberts publicist could not be reached for comment.)
Late last month, Roberts was admitted to an L.A. hospital after experiencing a series of early contractions. The condition was not serious, and the contractions eventually stopped, but doctors advised bed rest until she gave birth.
Roberts and Moder have kept a low profile since marrying on July 4, 2002, at her 82-acre ranch in Taos, N.Mex. The decidedly private couple split time between their homes in Taos, Venice, Calif., and New York City.
Twins, it turns out, run in Roberts' family: Her great grandmother and a pair of cousins are twins.
Roberts has two movies opening next month: Oceans Twelve, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and ' Closer,' an adult drama directed by Mike Nichols.

Yes, I thought so too. She was having early contractions and was on bedrest. Guess she didn't make it to term.

Re: Julia Roberts Gives Birth to Twins
When we were in Bevelry hills, Ca we were told at the restuarant we ate at, that she also had a house in Beverly hills, and frequented the restaurant, but since she was on bed rest she ordered out a lot. What strange names... maybe it is after someone in her family........

Good for her...the names aren't so strange they are just really Old. Those would have been popular names 100 years ago.

Re: Julia Roberts Gives Birth to Twins
I'm not a huge fan of the name Hazel - my friend has a daughter named Hazel so it's been growing on me.
I dont know if Julia Roberts is a big reader but I would guess that the name Phineas, if it's not a family name, is named after the character in A Separate Piece by John Knowles. . . such a great book, anyone else read it in high school?
