In her latest movie “The Idea of You,” Anne Hathaway plays a 40-year-old single mom who strikes up a romance with a 20-something boy-bander.
But in real life, Hathaway isn’t a single mom — she’s been married to actor, producer, and jewelry designer Adam Shulman for 12 years. They share two sons: Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4.
Here’s everything to know about Shulman and their kids.
Hathaway met Shulman at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2008
When Hathaway met Shulman through a mutual friend, she was going through a difficult time: She’d broken up with her previous boyfriend, entrepreneur Raffaello Follieri, and he was sentenced to prison on fraud and money laundering charges soon after. But she immediately knew Shulman was someone worth pursuing.
“I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life,” she told Harper’s Bazaar UK. “I also knew that I couldn’t have met him at a worse time.”
After roughly three years of dating, he proposed.
Hathaway and Shulman had a low-key wedding
Hathaway tied the knot with Shulman, about a year later, on September 29, 2012, in Big Sur, California.
It was an understated affair, with Hathaway wearing no jewelry, and out of the 150 guests, there were no A-list stars, according to People.
“It was just friends and family,” a guest told People. “No movie stars. There were only a few people in the business there, like her stunt double.”
Their sons Jonathan and Jack were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2016 and 2019, respectively
Hathaway and Shulman’s boys are roughly three years apart. Hathaway has been open about how motherhood has changed her life.
“I didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom,” Hathaway told WSJ Magazine in March 2022. “It’s not like I was lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word.”
She has also spoken publicly about her struggles with getting pregnant.
“For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies,” she wrote in a 2019 Instagram caption when announcing her pregnancy with Jack. “Sending you extra love.”
She revealed in a Vanity Fair profile in March that she experienced a miscarriage in 2015.
Hathaway is private about her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren
The actor likes to separate her public profile from her private life.
She didn’t reveal Jack’s name in public until 11 months after he was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 while on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
“My family has needs, and one of the needs of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren is that they need to be able to define their own lives,” she told Porter in November 2023 about her private versus public life. “It doesn’t even occur to me to link the two up, except through gratitude that they serve each other so beautifully. But they serve each other through me, and not through a space that’s outside of myself.”
