Anne Hathaway reveals low expectations for third pregnancy

Actress Anne Hathaway is embracing a new chapter as she anticipates her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The 43-year-old Oscar winner revealed that her expectations for another pregnancy had become very low as she aged.

“

The hope was always there until it disappeared. But when you reach a certain age, it feels like the chance is only one or two percent.

"The hope was always there until it disappeared. But when you reach a certain age, it feels like the chance is only one or two percent," Hathaway shared. Instead of fixating on the possibility, Hathaway and Shulman chose a more realistic approach, deciding to see where life took them without placing excessive pressure on themselves.

This mindset amplified her joy upon discovering she was pregnant again. Hathaway acknowledged that the opportunity to conceive, especially in her 40s, is a significant blessing. The couple, married since 2012, are already parents to sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Hathaway announced the pregnancy on Instagram on June 19.

We decided to see where life takes us, with healthy, realistic, and indeed very low expectations.

Despite her Hollywood fame, Hathaway has shielded her sons from the public eye, believing they deserve space to develop their own identities. She previously stated in a 2023 PORTER interview that she didn't feel "truly whole and truly present until I became a mother." This profound shift in perspective highlights the deep personal significance she places on motherhood.
