Read our privacy policy Julia Roberts was stunned to discover that she’s not actually a “Roberts” after looking into her family’s history and learning about her great-great grandmother’s, Rhoda Suttle Roberts, previous relationships. “Digging into Georgia’s County archives, we discovered that sometime in the 1850s, Rhoda married a man named Willis Roberts,” Gates said. But Willis passed away in 1864, over a decade before Rhoda gave birth to Julia’s great grandfather, John, leading to an inescapable conclusion.” He then told Julia that “Willis Roberts could not possibly be great-great grandfather” because he “was dead,” prompting the Pretty Woman star to ask: ‘But am I not a Roberts?” Gates went on to showcase his discovery and said that after “looking for any record named John’s father,” they “found absolutely nothing”. From there, Gates said that he and his team compared those results to “publicly available databases” before finding a match for who Julia’s great-great grandfather could be.
