Julia Roberts marries boyfriend

Academy Award winning actress Julia Roberts married her cameraman boyfriend Daniel Moder early today at her estate outside Taos, New Mexico.

The wedding was Roberts’ second trip down the aisle. The star of Runaway Bride and My Best Friend’s Wedding was married for 21 months to country and western singer Lyle Lovett.

The darkness of the cool New Mexico morning concealed the details of Roberts’ wedding but provided the perfect backdrop for the midnight ceremony.

‘‘Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder married during a midnight ceremony before family and friends at their home in New Mexico,’’ Roberts’ publicist, Marcy Engelman, said about an hour after the ceremony.

Engelman declined to give any details about the couple’s nuptials, the bride’s attire or the guest list, saying, ‘‘This is all we are going to release at this time.’’

A big white tent was seen on Roberts’ estate yesterday afternoon and the town was crowded with photographers and reporters, some of whom camped outside her gate.

A pitch-black sky was dotted with sparkling stars as music, and laughter could be heard coming from Roberts’ home into the early morning hours.

The rumours heated up this week when reports in The Daily Mail said 50 guests were being flown from Los Angeles to New Mexico for some sort of celebration at Roberts’ estate.

The paper said George Clooney, Roberts’ co-star on Ocean’s 11, was to be among them and that guests were to wear white linen.

Pretty Woman, released in 1990, remains Roberts’ biggest hit, but her other big hits include Notting Hill, and Erin Brockovich, for which she received a best actress Oscar in 2001.

Roberts’ love life has been tabloid fodder for years. She broke up with actor Benjamin Bratt last year after dating him for nearly four years. He went on to marry actress Talisa Soto in April.

Roberts broke up with Kiefer Sutherland in 1991 on the eve of their wedding. She also was linked to Jason Patric, Dylan McDermott, Matthew Perry and Liam Neeson.
