With press tours for The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary in full swing, it’s no surprise that Anne Hathaway must balance her busy work schedule with her role as a mother of two children.
The actress opened up about motherhood during a new interview with Vogue Australia. "I flew all night and was at the breakfast table with my kids," she shared. "Given the way my schedule's been, I just need to prioritise time with my kids. Get as much of it as I can."
Anne tied the knot with Adam Shulman in 2012 and the couple welcomed their son, Jonathan, in 2016, and his younger brother, Jack, in 2019. The actress has largely kept her children out of the public eye.

"My family has needs, and one of the needs of children is that they need to be able to define their own lives. It doesn’t even occur to me to link the two up, except through gratitude that they serve each other so beautifully. But they serve each other through me, and not through a space that’s outside of myself."
However, Anne made a rare public appearance with her youngest son at the 2025 Super Bowl, cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles from the stands in New Orleans.
The star was dressed in a green Eagles T-shirt for a casual look while Jack was sitting comfortably on her lap.
"I didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom," she told WSJ Magazine in 2022. “It's not like I was lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word."

"So I would encourage them to study, to go to classes, to read, but I would strongly discourage them from starting too young. I think that they'll be in a position where they'll be able to go to college and figure out where they want to go from there."
