Anne Hathaway Announces She’s Expecting Her Third Child in 2026
In Hollywood, certain years can be defined by the achievements of specific actors, and 2026 is undoubtedly Anne Hathaway’s year. The Oscar-winning actress has an impressive lineup of four films scheduled for release, including the A24 supernatural drama ‘Mother Mary’, where she stars alongside Michaela Coel, Christopher Nolan’s epic ‘The Odyssey’ set to debut in July, and the psychological thriller ‘Verity’ arriving in October. This ambitious slate is a testament to Hathaway’s remarkable career, showcasing her poise after nearly two decades in the industry.
Beyond her professional success, Hathaway has openly discussed the profound impact of motherhood on her life. Married to Adam Shulman since 2012, she has frequently expressed how becoming a parent transformed her perspective, sharing in a 2022 interview with WSJ Magazine that motherhood helped her feel truly present and grounded.
On Friday, Hathaway delighted fans with a heartfelt announcement that took social media by storm. She shared a video on Instagram, dressed in a flowing white gown, gently cradling her baby bump before revealing it to the world. Set to Barbara Lewis’s classic “Baby I’m Yours,” the caption “x Baby, I’m yours x” confirmed that she and Shulman are expecting their third child.
The post quickly garnered a flood of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Many expressed their surprise and joy, with one commenter noting that their jaw had dropped, while another shared their excitement about being pregnant at the same time as the actress they grew up admiring as the princess of Genovia. Remarkably, Hathaway had managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps, even as she was spotted with her baby bump during a recent vacation.
For those who have followed Hathaway’s journey to parenthood, this announcement carries deep emotional significance. She and Shulman are already parents to two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6, but their path to expanding their family included a miscarriage Hathaway experienced in 2015 while performing in the one-woman off-Broadway production ‘Grounded’, which required her to portray a birth scene nightly.
When she announced her second pregnancy in 2019, Hathaway reached out to those facing infertility challenges, sharing that her own journey was not straightforward and offering support to others navigating similar struggles. In her Vanity Fair April 2024 cover story, she emphasized the importance of acknowledging the complexities of pregnancy, stating that celebrating without recognizing past pain would feel disingenuous.
With ‘The Odyssey’ still on the horizon this summer and ‘Verity’ set for release in the fall, Hathaway has much to look forward to in 2026. This personal news adds a touching layer to what is already a significant year in her career, showcasing her ability to balance both personal and professional milestones with grace.
