Anne Hathaway Is Pregnant: Actress Expecting Third Baby With Husband Adam Shulman
Anne Hathaway Is Pregnant, Expecting 3rd Baby With Husband Adam Shulman at Age 43
The Oscar-winning star shared a joyful announcement on social media, marking a new chapter for her family at 43.
The grace Anne Hathaway has often spoken about—the kind required to celebrate others' milestones while navigating her own private hurdles—is now center stage in her own life. On Friday, June 19, the 43-year-old actress took to Instagram to reveal that she is pregnant, expecting her third baby with husband Adam Shulman. The video, set to the classic tune “Baby, I’m Yours” by Barbara Lewis, showed a radiant Hathaway in a white ensemble, gently revealing her baby bump before flashing a grin and skipping off-camera.
This arrival will be the third for Hathaway and Shulman, who have been married since 2012. The couple, who have built a reputation for fiercely guarding their privacy, are already parents to two sons: 10-year-old Jonathan and six-year-old Jack. While the Devil Wears Prada star has historically kept her children out of the media spotlight to protect their family dynamic, her latest announcement serves as a rare, intimate update for her millions of followers.
A Candid Journey to Motherhood
Hathaway’s public journey to this pregnancy has been marked by a refreshing, albeit painful, honesty. In a 2024 Vanity Fair cover story, she spoke openly about suffering a miscarriage nearly a decade ago, noting how difficult it was to process that loss while playing a pregnant character on stage. She chose to share that history to reach out to other women, emphasizing that they don’t always have to be "graceful" when dealing with the heartbreak of wanting a child so deeply.
This transparency has become a hallmark of her career. In previous interviews with publications like WSJ Magazine, she noted that the experience of becoming a mother helped her "land" and live more authentically. For Hathaway, motherhood wasn't just a life shift; it was a catalyst for cutting through personal nonsense and striving to be true to her word.
Why It Matters
The broader conversation surrounding Hathaway’s announcement touches on the changing narratives of motherhood in Hollywood. At 43, she joins a growing cohort of women defying traditional industry timelines, both in their personal lives and their professional output. Between filming The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mother Mary, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Hathaway has maintained an exhaustive schedule, a feat she credits almost entirely to the partnership she shares with Shulman.
She has described Shulman as an “extraordinary” partner who anchors the household, allowing her the stability to chase professional dreams. In an era where the “having it all” myth is frequently dissected, the Hathaway-Shulman dynamic offers a grounded look at how high-profile families manage the demands of career and domesticity. By documenting her reality—from the joy of her growing bump to the gratitude for a supportive spouse—Hathaway continues to influence public perception of what a successful, balanced life looks like in the spotlight.
