Anne Hathaway may be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but away from the cameras, family remains at the centre of her life. The Oscar-winning actress and her husband, Adam Shulman, are parents to two sons, Jonathan and Jack. In June 2026, Hathaway also announced that she is expecting her third child. While she rarely shares details about her children, she has occasionally opened up about motherhood, family life and the lessons she has learned along the way.
Anne Hathaway’s two sons: Jonathan and Jack
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman welcomed their first son, Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman, on March 24, 2016. His middle name honours family members from both sides. Three years later, in November 2019, the couple welcomed their second son, Jack Shulman.
Despite Hathaway’s global fame, she has worked hard to keep both boys out of the public eye. Speaking to PORTER in 2023, she explained that children need the freedom to build their own lives and identities. Hathaway has also said that becoming a mother changed her outlook completely. In a 2022 interview with WSJ Magazine, she said, “I didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom.”
