RUMOR: Julia Roberts to name Oprah new baby’s godmother
Julia Roberts has only recently confirmed her second pregnancy and already she is thinking about her new baby’s future. The Oscar winner has reportedly chosen her close friend, media mogul Oprah Winfrey to be the baby’s godmother. And Oprah has accepted!
"Picking Oprah as the godmother was a no-brainer," an insider says. Julia is said to be planning a nondenominational ceremony following the baby’s birth with Oprah’s participation.
This will be the third child for Julia and her cameraman hubby Danny Moder. The couple already have their twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus.
If true, one thing we can guarantee is that this baby will want for nothing, as Oprah recently made headlines as the richest woman in entertainment. According to Forbes, she is worth an estimated $1.5 billion!

I bet Oprah has a lot of god-children. I’d ask her too if I knew her!

Me too Heather – She’d be a good god-mother. If it’s true, it’s nice that Julia feels that close to Oprah to ask her!

Aww, that’s great. I don’t have kids of my own yet, but I am a very proud godmother of a nearly one-year-old baby boy and am thrilled that I am so fortunate to have that honor. I hope the rumor’s true.
