Anne Hathaway is happily focused on her family as she prepares to welcome her third baby. An insider tells PEOPLE that the 43-year-old actress, who is currently expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, is prioritizing her home life while balancing a busy career. Hathaway and Shulman are already parents to sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.
Hathaway announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Friday, June 19. In a video set to Barbara Lewis's song 'Baby I'm Yours,' she wears a flowy white dress, walks into frame with arms in front of her stomach, then drops them to reveal a growing bump. She smiles, hugs her belly, and runs out of frame. The caption reads, 'x Baby, I’m yours x.' A representative for the actress did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment at the time.
According to the source, during the press tour for the upcoming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' Hathaway wanted to keep attention on the much-anticipated sequel. 'Anne was excited about the movie and wanted the attention to stay on the project,' the insider shares. 'She has always been very good at separating her personal life from her work life.' The source adds that she wanted to reveal the pregnancy on her own terms, and the press tour was about celebrating the film and generating excitement among fans.
Hathaway's upcoming projects include Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey,' set for release on July 17, and the psychological thriller 'Verity,' due in the fall. In 'The Odyssey,' she plays Penelope, the wife of Odysseus. The source, who describes her as grateful for her career and the opportunity to be part of meaningful films, notes that she handles press tours with professionalism and gratitude. 'Complaining just isn’t Anne. She approaches things with gratitude and professionalism, and that’s exactly how she handled the press tour,' the insider says.
Beyond her professional life, Hathaway is deeply focused on family. In May, she gave a rare glimpse into her home life during an interview for Elle's Summer 2026 The Epic Issue. She said her sons are 'in this really fun zone where we all love hanging out together, which I understand may change.' She laughed, adding, 'Well, we will always love hanging out with them, but their feelings about us might change.' She emphasized that she and Shulman are 'so for the moment,' soaking up time with their children and enjoying life in the city of her dreams. 'Adam and I are soaking it up. I’m having the most wonderful time with my family, living in the city of my dreams, and work seems to be going really, really well,' she said.
Hathaway's career spans over two decades, with iconic roles in 'The Princess Diaries,' 'The Devil Wears Prada,' 'Les Misérables' (for which she won an Academy Award), 'The Dark Knight Rises,' 'Interstellar,' and more. Her versatility has made her one of Hollywood's most respected actors. She was also named PEOPLE's World's Most Beautiful cover star this year. Her dedication to family and craft has been a consistent theme throughout her public life. She and Shulman, a jewelry designer and actor, married in 2012 and have maintained a relatively private family life despite their fame.
The upcoming 'The Odyssey' is one of the most anticipated films of the year, directed by Christopher Nolan and featuring a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Zendaya. Hathaway's role as Penelope is central to the epic story. The film is expected to be a major box office hit. Meanwhile, 'Verity,' based on the novel by Colleen Hoover, has generated significant buzz as a thriller. Hathaway will star alongside Michael B. Jordan and Dakota Johnson. The source notes that she is grateful for these opportunities and the timing of her pregnancy, as she is able to enjoy some downtime before the films' releases.
Hathaway's approach to motherhood has always been hands-on. She has spoken in the past about balancing work and family, often bringing her children to set when possible. With a third child on the way, she continues to prioritize her family while maintaining a thriving career. The insider concludes that she is 'grateful for where she is in her career and for the opportunity to be part of a film that means so much to so many people.'
As fans eagerly await the arrival of baby number three, Hathaway remains focused on the things that matter most: family, health, and meaningful work. Her pregnancy announcement was met with widespread joy and support from colleagues and fans alike. The actress has always handled personal milestones with grace, and this chapter is no different.
In addition to her acting career, Hathaway is also known for her philanthropic work. She has been an advocate for gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and education. She serves as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and frequently speaks about the importance of paid parental leave and childcare support. Her public advocacy often ties back to her own experiences as a mother. With a growing family, these issues remain close to her heart.
The upcoming months will be busy for the star, with promotional activities for 'The Odyssey' and 'Verity,' as well as preparation for the new baby. However, according to sources, she is handling it all with her characteristic poise. The insider emphasizes that she is 'focused on family and enjoying a little downtime' before the whirlwind of releases begins.
Anne Hathaway continues to inspire millions with her talent, dedication, and balance between personal and professional life. As she adds a new member to her family, she remains a beloved figure in Hollywood and beyond.
