Roberts, who tied the knot with Moder July 4 at her Taos, N.M., ranch, said during an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Good Morning America she "was born to love and to be the wife of this man."

The couple met during the filming of "The Mexican" last summer, just a few months after Roberts and actor Ben Bratt ended their four-year romance. Bratt has since married actress Talisa Soto.

Roberts said Moder is "a man among men, unselfish and all-encompassing," and sticks by his choices. Moder was still married to makeup artist Vera Moder when he started dating Roberts.

Roberts, whose marriage to singer Lyle Lovett lasted 21 months, has broken off three engagements.
