Anne Hathaway is pulling off the ultimate Hollywood high-wire act, beautifully balancing her thriving career with her growing family. Currently captivating global audiences on the high-octane press tour for Christopher Nolan's mythic action epic The Odyssey, the Oscar winner is absolutely glowing with the news that she and her husband are expecting their third child. While redefining maternity style at high-profile premieres in London and Paris, Hathaway recently made headlines by sharing a heartfelt hope of her own.

She wants her own children to grow up to be as kind and respectful as her The Odyssey co-star, Tom Holland, whom she affectionately described as the ultimate "dream son." But who are the children at the center of Hathaway's world, and who is the devoted husband and father standing beside her through every chapter of their family journey?

Adam Shulman has long been Anne Hathaway's biggest supporter, helping her balance Hollywood success with family life. As she prepares to welcome their third child while promoting The Odyssey, Hathaway has repeatedly credited her husband for making it all possible. The pair first met at the Palm Springs Film Festival back in 2008, tying the knot four years later on September 29, 2012, during an intimate, romantic ceremony tucked away in the coastal beauty of Big Sur, California.

Since then, their relationship has been built on mutual respect rather than dependence. The couple's matching "M" tattoos reflect their belief that they are each complete on their own but choose to build a life together. As Hathaway once explained, neither expects the other to "complete" them, strengthening their bond through partnership rather than codependency.

With Hathaway juggling The Odyssey, Verity, and The Devil Wears Prada 2, Shulman has become the family's anchor behind the scenes. She praised him for having "stepped up in every possible way" and called him "the most extraordinary person" she has ever met. Hathaway has also shared that his steady, unconditional love changed the way she moves through the world.

Beyond being a devoted husband, Shulman is a hands-on father to sons Jonathan and Jack, describing every aspect of fatherhood as "amazing." He often says watching Hathaway as a mother only deepens his admiration for her, while she fondly credits him with managing mornings and keeping family life running smoothly.

Reflecting on their marriage, Hathaway now calls it "the greatest spiritual journey" of her life.

Before Anne Hathaway became the devoted mother audiences know today, her path to parenthood was marked by a deeply personal loss that she carried in silence. In 2015, the actress suffered a miscarriage while starring in the physically and emotionally demanding one-woman off-Broadway play Grounded, where, in a cruel twist of fate, she portrayed a pregnant fighter pilot and had to simulate childbirth onstage night after night, all while privately grieving the baby she had lost.

Behind the curtain, the weight of that heartbreak became impossible to hide. Hathaway later revealed that pretending everything was fine under the stage lights was "too much to keep in," and it was only after breaking down in her dressing room to close friends that she realized how many women around her had endured the same pain, a moment that forever changed how she viewed pregnancy, loss, and the importance of speaking openly about both.

That difficult chapter ended when Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman was born on March 24, 2016, a moment that felt nothing short of extraordinary. Even his carefully chosen middle name, "Rosebanks," lovingly blended the names of Hathaway's maternal grandmother, Roseline, and Adam Shulman's mother, Banks, while the fiercely private couple embraced parenthood with gratitude, later sharing only rare glimpses of Jonathan's childhood, from his rainbow-themed first birthday to the touching image of him watching his mother deliver her United Nations speech on paid parental leave.

For Jonathan, welcoming a younger brother was a surprisingly joyful transition rather than a difficult adjustment. Hathaway revealed that when it came to his reaction to Jack, her firstborn embraced his new role with genuine affection. As the brothers grew older, she joked that they eventually entered a playful wrestling phase, with Jack becoming big enough for Jonathan to have a little sibling rivalry filled with laughter and energy. Behind the awards, premieres, and Hollywood milestones, Hathaway’s proudest role remains being the mother watching her two sons discover the world together.

After experiencing the joy of welcoming Jonathan, Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman entered parenthood once again in November 2019 with the arrival of their second son, Jack. However, unlike many celebrity births, Jack’s arrival unfolded almost entirely away from the spotlight, with the couple choosing to protect this precious moment and keep the details of their growing family private. The couple's commitment to privacy was so strong that the world did not even know their younger son's name for nearly a year.

Although reports confirmed they had welcomed another baby boy, Hathaway waited until her 2020 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan while promoting The Witches to casually reveal that his name was Jack, sharing that she had been pregnant during filming and joking that her son was "all over" the movie. For Jonathan, becoming a big brother was not a difficult adjustment but a beautiful new bond, with Hathaway describing his relationship with Jack as having "no coping, just love."

For Hathaway and Shulman, keeping their children's faces and personal lives away from the public eye is not about hiding their family, but about giving their sons the freedom to grow into their own identities. Hathaway has explained that her children are a "team" with their own needs, including the ability to define their lives separately from her fame and Hollywood legacy. The actress has also admitted that even sharing a rare photo of Jonathan from behind during her 2017 United Nations speech made her reconsider where she drew the line.

Also, when Hathaway announced her second pregnancy in 2019, she again chose to be honest about the difficult road that had brought her there rather than present a picture-perfect Hollywood fairytale. Through an unfiltered mirror selfie and a heartfelt message, she acknowledged that her path to motherhood had not been easy, hoping to remind women facing infertility and pregnancy struggles that they were not alone.

Hathaway has often shared that motherhood made her feel truly "landed" in her own life, and now she is embracing that journey once again. On June 19, 2026, the Oscar winner announced her third pregnancy with Adam Shulman through a sweet Instagram reveal, showcasing her baby bump in a white linen set.
