Anne Hathaway, 43, is expecting her third child with her husband, Adam Shulman and shared the news in a short, understated Instagram video posted Friday, June 19.
The clip shows Hathaway walking into frame in a white dress. The clip is playing Barbara Lewis’ “Baby I’m Yours.” She keeps her hands placed in front of her stomach and pauses. Then moves her arms, which reveals her baby bump! She smiles, holds her midsection, and walks out of frame. She used the caption: “x Baby, I’m yours x.”
The announcement leaned into a calm, personal tone rather than a formal statement, reflecting a growing trend among celebrities who opt for low-key social media reveals instead of traditional press releases.
Fans and Celebrities React as Instagram Post Passes over 4 Million Likes
Reaction to Hathaway’s announcement quickly spread across social media, with her post surpassing 4.6 million likes (last time I checked) as fans, actors and influencers filled the comment section within hours of posting. Among the early celebrity responses was Heidi Klum, who reacted with a string of heart emojis, writing “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️” under the post. The simple response echoed the celebratory tone many fans shared.
Influencer and songwriter Tiffany Houghton also joined in, writing, “Eeep princess of Genovia is having an heir!” This clearly references Hathaway’s long-running association with her Princess Diaries role, with a playful nod that quickly gained attention in the comments. Another commenter and digital creator, identified as malone_vlc, added a more personal reaction, writing, “It’s as if I’m about to become an uncle,” a message that stood out among the wave of congratulatory posts.
The comment section continued to grow rapidly, reflecting the strong public affection for Hathaway, who has remained a consistent presence in film for more than two decades. The mix of celebrity reactions and fan excitement underscored how quickly personal milestones from major stars still dominate online conversation when shared directly.
Family of Five for Hathaway and Adam Shulman
Hathaway and Shulman have been married since 2012 and already share two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Their first child was born in 2016, followed by their second in 2019. Over the years, the couple has generally kept their family life private, sharing only occasional glimpses into their home routine while maintaining clear boundaries around their children’s lives.
Even with their public careers, Hathaway and Shulman have prioritized a steady home life, carefully balancing professional commitments with raising their children. The new baby adds to a family that has grown gradually over the last decade.
Hathaway Reflects on a Grounded Home Life
Hathaway has described a period of stability and contentment at home in recent interviews, especially as her children grow older. She has spoken about being in a stage where family time feels especially natural and connected.
She previously noted that she and Shulman are focused on the present, emphasizing that they are “so for the moment” as they navigate parenting and careers together. The comment reflected a broader shift in how she approaches work-life balance compared to earlier in her career.
Hathaway also shared that her sons are currently in a phase where spending time together as a family feels easy and enjoyable, a dynamic she acknowledged may eventually change as they get older.
Career Continues Alongside Major Personal Milestone
Hathaway remains active in the film industry as she grows her family, with future roles including “The Odyssey,” in which she portrays Penelope. She has recently suggested she is managing both work and home life with intention, saying she feels grounded while continuing to work steadily.
The contrast between high-profile roles and a relatively private home life has long defined Hathaway’s public image. Even as she takes on new projects, she has consistently kept personal milestones, including motherhood, largely separate from her professional persona until moments like this announcement.
A New Chapter More than a Decade After Marriage
Hathaway and Shulman married in 2012, beginning a partnership that has since moved through career changes, relocations, and the arrival of their two children. Over time, their relationship has unfolded alongside Hathaway’s long-running film career and a family life they have largely kept out of the spotlight.
Now, more than 10 years into their marriage, the couple is preparing to welcome a third child, adding another chapter to a family story that has grown steadily and mostly away from public view. Despite Hathaway’s high-profile career, the pair has consistently maintained a private, grounded approach to life at home.
The latest pregnancy announcement follows that same pattern, shared directly and simply with fans while still drawing widespread attention online.
