While the couple has kept a low-profile for decades, Moder has been notably absent from Roberts' side during recent events, sparking concern for their marriage.
In February, the mother-of-three was in Paris, where she was awarded an honorary Cesar during the French equivalent of the Oscars. She also received the prestigious insignia of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture.
Despite the significant event and his wife's high honors, Moder was nowhere to be seen.
An insider shared: "Everyone's gotten used to Julia flying solo, but this was a big deal and it was kind of sad to see Danny wasn't there to see such a historic event.
"It would have been lovely for him to be there, but Danny's always felt like he's in a cage on the red carpet.
"This is nothing new for premiers and Hollywood events, but to skip a prestigious award like this one raised eyebrows."
Moder was seen by his wife's side was at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2022.
The source added: "Julia wants nothing more for him to have success without relying on her name, but it's been a decade now and it's clearly making it more and more difficult for him to engage with her, even on a professional level."
