Actress Anne Hathaway kept her third pregnancy a secret throughout the demanding worldwide press tour for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” an industry source revealed to PEOPLE magazine. The news comes after Hathaway, 43, announced that she is expecting another baby with her husband, Adam Shulman, with whom she already has two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.
Discretion maintained during disclosure engagements
A film industry insider shared with PEOPLE that Anne Hathaway was “discreetly pregnant” throughout all of her appearances to promote “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” The actress, therefore, faced the marathon of events keeping the news secret.
Hathaway made it official that she is expecting her third child with her husband, Adam Shulman, through a post made on her Instagram profile on Friday, June 19.
This year has already marked the release of two films starring the actress, and she still has plans for three more productions to hit theaters before the end of 2026, including “The Odyssey”, which premieres on July 17th.
Without a doubt, Anne Hathaway is experiencing a period of great intensity in her personal and professional life.
The actress, who will turn 43, kept her pregnancy under wraps during the press schedules for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” held in April and May, according to the industry source who spoke to PEOPLE. “She did the entire ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ world tour in secret, pregnant. Her work ethic is unbelievable,” the source highlighted, adding: “She’s a superhero.”
Anne Hathaway, who is already mother to Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6, from her relationship with Shulman, 45, reprized her role as Andy Sachs in the sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada”, from 2006, reuniting with Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt in May.
Highlights at the Met Gala and intense schedule of premieres
At the 2026 Met Gala, held on May 4, Hathaway wore an exclusive hand-painted Michael Kors collection dress that referenced her upcoming film, “The Odyssey.” This appearance marked the beginning of a series of releases that will see her star in five films in cinemas later this year. The artist was also on the cover of PEOPLE magazine’s “Most Beautiful Women in the World” issue in April.
“She is having the best year of her career and now has a baby,” adds the source. “It’s just incredible.”
Exciting announcement and career reflections
Hathaway chose to share the news of her pregnancy through a video posted to her Instagram on June 19. In the recording, the actress appears in a flowing white dress and, as she lowers her arms, reveals her pregnant belly to the sound of the song “Baby I’m Yours”, by Barbara Lewis. In the clip, Hathaway smiles, hugs her belly and leaves the scene, with the caption of the post replicating the title of the song.
The Oscar winner was asked about her remarkable stamina and energy following the releases of “Mother Mary” and the “The Devil Wears Prada 2” tour in an interview with Vogue during the Met Gala red carpet. At the time, she reflected: “Who is luckier than us? What I think is, when you get a little tired, I ask myself, ‘Do you like why you’re tired?’ And I value that because I’m sure some people don’t like why they’re tired.” This statement takes on a new and profound meaning now, revealing the motivation behind her dedication even during such a personally and physically demanding time.
Upcoming film projects in detail
Before “The Devil Wears Prada 2” arrived in theaters in May, Hathaway had already participated in “Mother Mary”, playing a pop star alongside Michaela Coel. On July 17, she will star alongside Matt Damon, Tom Holland and a vast array of talent in “The Odyssey,” directed by Christopher Nolan. In August, it will be her turn to star with Ewan McGregor in the thriller “The End of Oak Street”, and “Verity”, in which Hathaway stars with Dakota Johnson, is scheduled to premiere on October 2.
In the film “The Odyssey”, Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, played by Damon, and mother of Telemachus, Holland’s character, aged 30. In ancient Greek mythology, Penelope is besieged by dozens of suitors seeking her hand in marriage during Odysseus’ 20-year absence from his home island of Ithaca, where he reigns as king.
“There’s this impression that Penelope is the personification of modesty. She’s the personification of patience,” Hathaway told Time magazine in a May story about the film. “And I said [to director Christopher Nolan], ‘If I’m not mistaken, you’ve created a character full of fury and you seem to be implying that he’s actually like Odysseus.’”
The actress added: “I discovered that she was an erupting volcano, always boiling. It was so much fun when she finally exploded.”
