Is Anne Hathaway actually pulling off the ultimate power move by having a baby at 43? Because honey, YES SHE IS, and we are absolutely living for it!
The Princess Diaries icon dropped a total surprise on Friday when she posted a cheeky Instagram video flaunting her baby bump while captioning it ‘x Baby I’m yours x.’ Plot twist: she wasn’t talking about a new movie role, darling. Anne Hathaway is officially expecting her THIRD child with her hubby Adam Shulman, and frankly, we’re obsessed with the casual way she dropped this bombshell on the internet.
For those keeping score at home (and let’s be real, we all are), the stunning couple have been married since 2012 and are already parents to two sons: Jonathan, who arrived in 2016, and Jack, who completed their family a few years later. But apparently, they decided that three is actually the magic number! At 43 years old, Hathaway is proving that motherhood doesn’t have an expiration date, and honestly? We’re here for the inspiration.
What makes this announcement even MORE iconic is how utterly unbothered Anne seems about the whole thing. No lengthy caption about ’embracing motherhood’ or ‘grateful for this blessing’—just a sassy little video and a reference to a Beyoncé lyric (because of course she did). This is a woman who has literally won an Oscar and apparently just wanted everyone to know she’s still got it—literally AND figuratively.
The internet is already having FEELINGS about this news. Social media is EXPLODING with congratulations, with fans gushing about how Anne is defying age expectations and redefining what motherhood looks like for women in Hollywood. Some are swooning over the Shulmans’ seemingly perfect family life, while others are already placing bets on whether baby number three will follow in Mommy’s footsteps toward stardom.
Adam Shulman has been suspiciously quiet on his own social media, but honestly, that’s on brand for the low-key businessman who’s been keeping Anne grounded for over a decade. These two are proof that it IS possible to maintain a stable, private marriage in the chaos of Hollywood—even while expanding your brood!
What do you think? A) Anne Hathaway is absolutely slaying the ‘motherhood at any age’ narrative and we should all bow down B) Three kids is pushing it and she should call it a day with her gorgeous family?
