Who is Julianne Moore’s husband of 20 years, Bart Freundlich? The May December star is 9 years older than her beau, and they share 2 children, including her lookalike Bulgari model daughter Liv

Julianne Moore and her husband Bart Freundlich are the epitome of couple goals. They’ve been married for 20 years and are still going strong – from posing on red carpets together to sharing loving tributes for one another on social media.

Last week, the May December actress took to Instagram to wish her long-time hubby a blissful birthday. In the post, she wrote, “Happy birthday @freundlich96. I am in awe of your compassion, your talent, and the way you move through the world. You make an impression on everyone you meet. I’m grateful for the life we have built together and I love you so much!”

In one recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Moore shared: “I feel grateful I have a relationship that’s as rewarding as it is, because it’s something I really wanted to have,” adding that the secret to her happy marriage is “not to spend too much time apart”.

It’s clear that these two are inseparable and continue to support each other; earlier this month, Freundlich joined his wife at the Golden Globes, where she was nominated for best supporting actor for her role in May December, and they were all smiles as they walked the red carpet.

Moore recalled how she arrived late for a meeting with Freundlich and was in a bad mood because her boyfriend at the time had just crashed her car.

“I asked [Freundlich], ‘Why do you see me in this character?’ And he said, ‘Because you look like you’re two different people when your face is in complete repose and when you smile. You have a duality to your physicality.’ And I went, ‘Oh! OK alright!’”
