And in terms of beauty, she deserves all the admiration and love. Nowadays Anne Hathaway is making headlines for her interview with The Drew Barrymore Show where she talked about her beautiful marriage of 11 years. A journey filled with growth, love, passion, and care. Let us look at this journey and her interview.
Anne Hathaway’s growth:
When Hathaway was six years old, her family relocated from Brooklyn, New York to Millburn, a suburb of New Jersey. Her mother, Kate McCauley, was a theatrical actor, and her father, Gerald, was a lawyer. Hathaway’s interest in theatre was sparked by an early tour she took with her mother in support of a Les Misérables musical. She trained with the esteemed Barrow Group in New York, and at the age of sixteen, she was cast in her first television part in the family drama Get Real.
Following her high school graduation in 2000, Hathaway started her career as a film actress. The Princess Diaries was her big-screen debut. Hathaway rose to fame not just for her acting but also for her singing. She sang in an honors chorus at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1999. In 2002, she made her stage debut in the musical Carnival in New York.
Beginning of a new journey:
Hollywood has known Anne Hathaway for decades, from her breakthrough role as Princess Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries in 2001 to her Oscar-winning portrayal as Fantine in Les Misérables in 2012. Hathaway, however, has made it a point to keep her intimate affairs discreet, even after nine years of marriage to Adam Shulman.
In September 2012, Hathaway stunned her fans by getting married to Shulman, who had been her partner for four years at the time, in a secret wedding in Big Sur, California. At the time, she was only 29.
In 2008, Hathaway and Shulman crossed paths at the Palm Springs Film Festival. In a subsequent interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK for its February 2013 cover story, Hathaway said that she had informed a mutual friend at the time, “I’m going to marry that man. I think he thought I was a little nut, which I am a bit, but I’m also nice”. Hathaway and Shulman’s wedding weekend was very Californian.
In September 2012, about 150 people were invited to Big Sur, according to People. The Ventana Inn and Spa hosted a rehearsal dinner on Friday to kick off the festivities.
Who is Adam Shulman?

Ever looked at Anne’s ring and wondered who made this precious and beautiful piece? The ring was designed by none other than Adam himself. The jewelry designer, who was born in New York, even has his line of jewelry under the name James Banks Design. Shulman received a theatre B.A. from Brown University. He has five acting credits, including one for the NBC series American Dreams as Paul O’Bannon, according to IMDB.
Hathaway on marriage and Adam:
You make eye contact with someone across the room while in a crowded setting. Experts say that it takes a sixth of a second to fall in love. Furthermore, 34% of respondents said they have ever fallen in love at first sight. This is exactly what Anne Hathaway experienced with Adam Shulman, her soulmate and spouse.
The couple has always kept a low profile but never shy while talking and appreciating each other. Anne was seen talking about Adam and cherishing her married life. Hathaway attributes a lot of her life’s developments, including her perspective on the world, to her spouse. “He altered my capacity to live comfortably in the world,” However, Shulman gave her the confidence boost she needed.
The actress remarked, “I’m a different human than I was then.” “I believe that the widely held belief nowadays is that women are self-sufficient. However, I cannot live without my spouse. I have transformed because of his special and distinct affection.
In an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, she mentioned how they both keep growing and helping together. Further, she added how they are two different individuals but still together. She said they chose to be together because they think they can and will improve each other and because they both want to be a part of this union. She said, “I’m my person, and he’s his person.” They then welcomed two sons: Jack, born in late 2019, and Jonathan, who is seven years old.
The ‘She Came to Me’ actress declared in October on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she and Shulman spent their 11th anniversary indoors because of the intense downpour that was occurring in New York City at the time. She said that even with the rainy weather, they managed to have a pleasant evening while watching a well-liked ABC program.
In another interview, Anne mentioned how they both feel lucky together and make each other feel better. After ten years and two kids, the couple faced challenging circumstances, but they overcame them. The actress stated that none of her pregnancies was easy to bear: “Please understand that there was no easy path to either of my pregnancies for anybody going through infertility or the conception process.”
Looking at Hathaway’s journey, one can say that love at first sight still happens and many are old school. No marriage is free of problems and fights, it is we who decide what path we will choose and what endings we want.
