Julia Roberts' First Husband: A whirlwind romance and marriage to Lyle Lovett, followed by a amicable divorce and a lasting friendship. But here's where it gets controversial... While many might assume that Julia Roberts' first husband was Benjamin Bratt, it was actually Lyle Lovett, a country music star and actor. Their marriage, which lasted less than two years, was a whirlwind romance that began on the set of the movie The Player. Despite their busy schedules, they eloped and married in Marion, Indiana, just three weeks after meeting. The couple remained close and amicable after their divorce, with Lyle even paying tribute to Julia in his album '12th of June'. And this is the part most people miss... While Lyle and Julia's marriage was short-lived, it was a significant chapter in both of their lives. Lyle went on to marry April Kimble in 2017, while Julia found her long-lasting love with Daniel Moder. So, what do you think? Do you think their marriage could have lasted longer? Or do you agree that their busy schedules were a contributing factor? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
