Is Anne Hathaway about to welcome her third royal bundle into the world, and did she just accidentally spill the tea at Disney’s biggest celebration? Not quite, but the Princess Diaries icon certainly gave us all the entertainment we needed when a fan shouted the ultimate question during her Disney Legend acceptance speech.
Picture this: Anne is basking in the glory of being honored as a Disney Legend at D23, probably already mentally drafting her acceptance speech about magic and dreams, when BAM—someone from the crowd yells out the question that had literally every single fan vibrating with curiosity: “Is it a boy or a girl?” Because apparently, subtlety is so last season. And honestly? We’re not even mad about it.
The actress, who’s currently expecting her third child with hubby Adam Shulman, handled the interruption with the kind of grace and sass that only Anne Hathaway can deliver. Rather than getting flustered or dodgy, she fired back with a response that was pure, unadulterated Anne—witty, charming, and absolutely refusing to give up the goods. She basically told the crowd that some secrets are worth keeping, and honey, we RESPECT that energy.
Listen, in an era where celebrities are livestreaming their ultrasounds and naming babies before they’re even born, Anne’s decision to keep her baby’s gender under wraps is honestly refreshing AF. It’s giving mystery, it’s giving privacy, it’s giving “I’m living my life and you’re not invited to every detail.” The woman already blessed us with incredible movies, an iconic princess reign, and more fashion moments than we deserve—is it really too much to ask her to just let this one thing be a surprise?
What makes this whole moment even more iconic is that Anne didn’t shame the fan for asking. She was playful about it, maintaining that Disney Legend sparkle while essentially saying, “Girl, nice try, but no dice.” That’s the kind of celebrity behavior we need more of—confident, unbothered, and absolutely fabulous.
Social media has been absolutely LOSING it over the exchange, with fans simultaneously respecting her privacy while also desperately wanting to know if little Shulman number three will be a prince or princess. The speculation is wild, the theories are endless, and honestly, we’re here for this slow-burn mystery.
What do you think? A) Anne’s having a boy B) Anne’s having a girl
