Richard, at the age of 75, married Alejandra, who’s 41, in April 2018. Since then, the couple has welcomed two beautiful sons into their lives. Their love story is one of deep connection and mutual respect. Alejandra celebrated Richard’s birthday in August with a heartfelt Instagram post. She wrote, "After 11 amazing years together, it still feels like the day we first met. The journey we’ve shared, the beautiful family we’ve built, and the memories we’ve created are more than I could have ever dreamed of. You make my life better in every way, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and happiness together."

While Julia and Danny might seem content now, Richard wants to make sure it stays that way. He’s encouraging Julia to adopt a more Zen approach to life. "He’s urging Julia to be more Zen—to slow down and pause each day for a few minutes to just breathe," the insider explains. "If she follows this foundation, she will find peace and relaxation, and she won’t be stressed out. And neither will Danny."

Bringing Romance Back into the Mix

Richard also reminds Julia to embrace Danny every chance she gets, just like he does with Alejandra. "It keeps the romance alive, and sparks are what every couple needs for survival," the source points out. The goal is simple: to rekindle the flame and reconnect on a deeper level.

In July, another source told Closer that Julia and Danny are working hard behind the scenes to strengthen their bond. "Divorce is not something either of them wants, and they do love each other dearly, but if they’re barely together, it’s not exactly a recipe for a successful relationship," the source said.

Julia’s intense focus on her Hollywood career could be affecting her marriage. "It does really bother Danny that he’s seen as Mr. Julia Roberts and also that she’s been doing her own thing for so long, so she’s vowed to make a big effort to support him when he goes on location for work, even if it means she’s got to just do her own thing at whatever hotel or rental house they get while he’s on set for hours at a time," the source added.

The couple has realized they need to make their marriage a priority again. "Danny and Julia have realized they need to reinvigorate their relationship and reconnect on a different level," the insider explained. To start fresh, they’ve been spending more time together, including a romantic trip to Wimbledon in London.

"Time together is a big priority again," said the insider. "They want to take more romantic trips together, and Wimbledon was a really great start."
