Julia Roberts sent some sparks flying on July 4 as she took to Instagram to thrill her more than nine million fans about her happy marriage with cinematographer, Daniel Moder.

The “Pretty Woman” actress rarely posts photos with Moder, 52. But on Sunday, the two celebrated an important milestone in their lives -- 19 years of marriage.

With the caption, "19 years… Just getting started," the 53-year old Academy Award winner proudly told her fans about her exciting relationship with Moder whom she met on the set of her film, “The Mexican,” in 2000.

In her holiday weekend selfie with Moder at the beach, Roberts wore an orange cap and sunglass with her arm wrapped her arm around her husband. The photo has since garnered nearly 600,000 likes from her fans.

Roberts and Moder tied the knot on July 4, 2002, in Taos, New Mexico.

The “Eat, Pray, Love” star and Moder are parents to 16-year old twins, Hazel and Finn, and son Henry, 14.

Roberts gushed about their relationship with her husband in an interview with People magazine in 2017. "I mean every day my husband walks in the door it's like a recurring dream," she told the outlet at the time. "I'm like, 'Ah, he's back!'"

On the evening of July 4, Moder had also posted on Instagram a photo of him and Roberts in their younger days, to celebrate the memory of their long-time relationship as husband and wife.

“Today we start our 20th year of marriage,” Moder said in the Instagram post. “This photo was on a dusty road before that big idea…just holding on to this beautiful girl one day at a time. One epic day at a time.”

Roberts was first named as People’s Most Beautiful Woman in 1991 at the age of 23. She again won the title in 2017 at the age of 49.

The actress told People in 2017 that she is able to maintain her astounding beauty because of “happiness, humor, and healthy living”. She described a perfect day as being with her family “running around and playing. Just sharing time together.”
