Anne Hathaway's Kids Are "the Most Sacred Part" of Her Life: Meet Jonathan and Jack

Anne Hathaway and Adam Schulman welcomed their first son, Jonathan Rosebanks, in 2016. The couple's second son, Jack, arrived in 2019. The She Came to Me actress calls her two kids "the most sacred part of my life by a long shot."Since becoming a mom in 2016, Anne Hathaway has lovingly raised her two sons, Jonathan and Jack, away from the spotlight. The Princess Diaries actress shares her kids with her husband, Adam Schulman, whom she married in 2012. The pair have a love-at-first-sight love story: after meeting in 2008 at Palm Spring Film Festival, Hathaway said, 'I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life." Their wedding was an intimate family affair: after being spotted in Brooklyn, New York with a ring on that finger, the Eileen actress and her beau tied the knot at a private home in Big Sur, California, on September 29, 2012. Hathaway wore a custom Valentino gown, a vintage-inspired headband, and a simple veil. Roughly 150 guests were in attendance, very few of whom were A-list celebrities. Though neither parent has spoken much about their children, Schulman did gush about his wife in a rare, candid interview with People. "Every aspect [of parenthood] is amazing," he told the publication, adding that Hathaway "amazes" him as a mother. "Every day makes me appreciate her more." The couple are raising their family in a Southern California chalet-style home previously owned by Yves Saint Laurent and Wes Anderson, according to Homes & Gardens. Away from the bright lights of Hollywood, Hathaway says she's able to preserve the boundaries between her personal and professional endeavors. "It's something I feel is not just essential for my health—I'm on a team, it's my family, and it's not just about me," she told PORTER. "My family has needs, and one of the needs of children is that they need to be able to define their own lives." Now that she's a mom of two, Hathaway says, she feels complete. "I didn't feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom,' she told WSJ Magazine. 'It's not like I was lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word." Ahead, here's everything you should know about Hathaway and Schulman's two sons, Jonathan and Jack, and the couple's joint parenting venture that the actress says makes "all the difference." Hathaway and Schulman's eldest son Jonathan was born on March 24, 2016. His middle name is an homage to two relatives: Hathaway's grandmother, whose name was Roseline, and Schulman's mother, whose maiden name is Rosebanks. Hathaway later revealed that prior to Jonathan's birth, she experienced a miscarriage while starring in the 2015 off-Broadway play Grounded. "It's really hard to want something so much and to wonder if you're doing something wrong," she later said in an interview with Vanity Fair. Hathaway and Schulman's second son arrived in November 2019. The actress announced her pregnancy with a post on Instagram, where she opened up about her struggles with infertility. "For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies," she wrote. "Sending you extra love." The Ocean's 8 actress later explained her decision to open up on Instagram during an interview with Vanity Fair. "Given the pain I felt while trying to get pregnant, it would've felt disingenuous to post something all the way happy when I know the story is much more nuanced than that for everyone," she said. The couple waited 11 months before revealing Jack's name. The Mother's Instinct actress ultimately let it slip during an appearance on Live With Kelly & Ryan. "No coping, just love," she told then-host Ryan Seacrest of how Jonathan was adjusting to life as an older brother. "Now Jack's big enough to wrestle with, and that's brought a new element to their relationship that's really cute." Since welcoming Jack, Hathaway says becoming a mother-of-two has "re-prioritized everything," adding, "It's actually made me a bit choosier because something really has to be so excellent to spend time away from them because they're so precious to me." She continued, "They're the most sacred part of my life by a long shot. And then when I do accept something, it puts greater pressure on me to make it worth the time that I've spent away from them."

Anne Hathaway, 42, fuels MORE plastic surgery speculation with her smooth complexion as she departs the Met Gala afterparty

Anne Hathaway looked incredible as she departed the Met Gala afterparty in New York City on Monday. The actress, 42, continued fueling plastic surgery rumors as she displayed her smooth visage while working her magic at the annual fashion extravaganza. The film star cut a stylish figure for the event in a white open shirt which she tucked into a black and silver bejewelled skirt. She added height to her frame with a pair of heels and styled her brunette locks into a sleek ponytail. The Princess Diaries star beamed from ear to ear as she left the afterparty in the early hours of the morning. Fans took note of Anne's youthful complexion in the comments section of an interview she did with Vogue on the blue carpet. 'Whoa she really got some obvious work done on her upper face. Maybe brow lift. She's trying to distract/cover up with pulled back hair,' one posted in the comments section of the Instagram post. Others agreed: 'Jaw, ponytail lift, and brow lift it seems!' one account said in response. 'All I know is the eyebrows move!' another quipped. When one noted that the Princess Diaries star appeared 'young,' another account responded she 'must have had some work done....' 'Her plastic surgeon is top tier,' a third user posted. Others praised Hathaway's appearance, but still suspected she may have had something done. 'When is he gonna ask "who is your surgeon?"' one fan asked, referencing the reporter's line of questioning. 'I'd like to know how much $$ I need to rob for an appointment.' 'Did she have anything done to her face? She looks younger. Absolutely gorgeous,' another posted. The actress became to talk of social media last month after she appeared at New York fashion week looking especially youthful. It was the latest in a series of stunning appearances that have left some fans saying The Devil Wears Prada actor now looks younger than she did in her 20s. Hathaway's noticeably smooth complexion at the event — even compared to just six months ago — has sparked frenzied speculation she may have had work done. Even when letting out a big laugh, the Havoc star's forehead did not reveal even one wrinkle or crinkle. Anne's apparent continued de-ageing also left some fans joking: 'Annie's on track to be a baby by 2045.' The actress has faced speculation she's had work done before. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine) Fans weighed in on Anne's look after watching her interview with Vogue at the Met Gala In 2023, plastic surgeon Dr Gary Motykie told that he had 'no doubt she had surgery on her nose' as it appears the former child star refined her tip with a finesse rhinoplasty. 'You see it go from a slightly more plunging bulbous tip with a wide bridge to having a much more defined contour and thinner bridge and thinner tip and more tip projection. That's the leading sign of having a rhinoplasty,' he speculated. 'We also see that natural sign of thinning and baby fat going away on her face, but it does appear to be more maintained. So, again, I am suspicious of things like fillers, Botox, maintenance with micro-needling and skin tightening, things to just maintain the skin. 'I also noticed her jawline is a bit narrower, again that could be the normal loss of body fat or it could be some slight contouring to the jawline to bring in that lower face with things like Botox to narrow that lower part of the face.' Back in 2008, Hathaway denied ever going under the knife but confessed: 'When I was growing up, I wanted a nose job, because I didn't think my nose was good.' 'Your face needs to have character if you're going to be an actor, or you're just kind of a face,' she added. The actress herself has shown dedication to her skincare regime. She walked the iconic staircase alongside Wes Gordon, one of the brains behind her look Only two months ago, Hathaway shared a makeup free snap with Hollywood bestie Jessica Chastain. The friends, who starred alongside each other in 2024 thriller Mothers' Instinct, both sported sheet face masks as they kept their skin hydrated while relaxing on a plane. Hathaway's long-term facialist, the renowned Su-Man, has also previously given an insight into the star's strict daily skincare routine. Su-Man told Net-a-Porter that Anne massages her face, puts on a face mask and applies SPF 30 every day. The star herself has also spoken in the past about how she has always prioritised protecting her skin from sun damage, with her mother encouraging her to wear sunscreen daily from a young age. 'I even carry an umbrella if I walk in the sunshine and use spray tan if I need to look as if I've been sunbathing,' she previously told the Sun in 2012. Dr Asha Chhaya, an aesthetic doctor and medical lead at WY Skin Clinic, also told MailOnline some of the ways Hathaway likely maintains her flawless features. 'She likely follows a consistent skincare routine, with sun protection as a top priority, using SPF daily,' she shared in 2024. 'Her regimen probably includes gentle cleansing, moisturising, and regular face masks to keep her skin hydrated and radiant. 'It's also likely that she incorporates antioxidant serums to shield her skin from environmental damage, and no anti-ageing routine would be complete without retinol - known for its ability to boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines.' 'It's possible she benefits from regular facials and subtle cosmetic enhancements to further bring out her natural beauty.' Another factor that might be helping is the fact she gave up alcohol back in 2019. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and disrupts sleep, both factors that can lead to a dull, tired complexion.

Anne Hathaway continues fueling plastic surgery rumors as fans react to her smooth new face at 2025 Met Gala

Anne Hathaway got fans talking at the 2025 Met Gala and not necessarily just for her outfit. The star, 42, continued fueling plastic surgery rumors as she displayed her smooth visage while working her magic at Monday night's fashion extravaganza. Netizens took note of her youthful complexion in the comments section of an interview Hathaway did with Vogue on the blue carpet. Hathaway - who was rocking a look by Wes Gordon and Carolina Herrera - opened up about how the late André Leon Talley influenced her look and her latest favorite meal with the fashion bible. But several zeroed in on her complexion: 'Whoa she really got some obvious work done on her upper face. Maybe brow lift. She's trying to distract/cover up with pulled back hair,' one posted in the comments section of the Instagram post. Others agreed: 'Jaw, ponytail lift, and brow lift it seems!' one account said in response. The star, 42, who has been at the center of plastic surgery rumors as of late, displayed her smooth visage as she attended fashion's biggest night 'All I know is the eyebrows move!' another quipped.

Women, here's why you'll always have ‘bad friends'

My first friendship, when I was 12, was so formative that the minutiae of its creation and implosion are more vivid to me than that, two decades later, of an 11-year romantic relationship. I still have, somewhere in a box, a black ring-binder chronicling my and my friend's daily interactions, from furtive classroom notes to postcards and 'tops secret' six-page letters. I can still perfectly visualise her turquoise ink and curly handwriting. There were also endless lists: why she was my best friend, why I was her best friend, and eventually, after five years, why she was a bad friend. 'The fear of the bad friend is perennial,' writes historian Tiffany Watt Smith in Bad Friend, which adeptly traces the evolution of female friendship across the past century. Interspersed with personal ruminations on the times she resented such a figure – or became one herself – she asks why and how friendship, as we understand it today, became intrinsic to our notions of what women are and how they behave. For by the 20th century, she writes, 'being likeable and popular, and having close friends', had become 'an identifying marker of an ideal and conventional femininity'. It's why, during the deluge of 1990s rom-coms, the 'popular' girl, so often flanked by two female sidekicks, is usually the subject of universal lust. And those films were never really about the boy: from Princess Diaries to Mean Girls, female friendship drives the plot. Often, when I've spoken to other young women about first love and heartbreak, they talk not of romantic partners but, like me, about an early female friendship. This was their induction into the exquisitely painful sequence of love, admiration and obsession followed by paranoia, jealousy and betrayal. Yet for centuries, Watt Smith writes, friendship was only esteemed when it was between men. 'Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good and alike in virtue,' wrote Aristotle. Montaigne deemed women 'incapable of this 'holy bond'', their souls not 'firm enough to withstand the clasp of a knot so lasting and so tightly drawn.' By the 17th century, however, upper-class women were being taught to read and write, and they were soon sending each other devoted letters. Watt Smith offers some breathless correspondence from Mary Wollstonecraft to the illustrator Fanny Blood, in which the former describes the latter as the one 'whom I love better than all the world… to live with this friend is the height of my ambition'. After Blood's death, Wollstonecraft wore for the rest of her life a bejewelled mourning ring containing her friend's hair. With the rise of boarding schools for girls, female friendship became grounded in a new kind of physical intimacy, and developed an erotic undercurrent. Dinah Craik wrote in her 1858 guidebook A Woman's Thoughts About Women that these bonds were as 'delicious and almost as passionate as first love'. Boarding-school novels about the relationships of girlhood were serialised in the weekly papers. By 1913, magazines were warning mothers of the 'dangers' of girl crushes. 'The girl with the crush,' writes Watt Smith, 'became the century's first Bad Friend.' These crushes were inevitably reviled as proof of the feminine capacity for hysteria and weakness. Take, for instance, Mary-Lou, the 'poor, timid' girl from Enid Blyton 's Malory Towers books: she worships an older classmate by performing constant acts of service, and even her friends mock her as a 'little ninny'. Was this a reflection of societal homophobia, wonders Watt Smith, or something more complicated? She gestures to Blyton's own whirlwind friendship with a nurse called Dorothy, employed by the writer to help with childcare following the breakdown of Blyton's marriage to Hugh Pollock. Pollock's second wife Ida alleged that something 'unsavoury' had been at play, claiming that Pollock had found the two women 'locked in a bathroom together' on several occasions. (The friendship ended when Blyton remarried. Dorothy would not attend the ceremony, Watt Smith explains, 'disapproving of its haste'.) Female friendship became increasingly political. 'With each new freedom won by women,' Watt Smith explains, 'fears about their friendships gather momentum.' A case in point: the women's liberation movement, which itself led to a friction between women that produces some of Bad Friend's most engaging analysis. The movement may have created a powerful female solidarity, yet its results promoted an individualism that splintered female communities, heightening comparisons and rivalries. For the ultimate 'bad friend', or so Watt Smith hypothesises, is the woman who eschews sisterhood to pursue her individual ambition. Take Dorothy Arzner, the only woman directing feature-length studio films in Hollywood during the 1930s. It would fit so neatly for her to have risen through the ranks at Paramount thanks to, as Watt Smith puts it, 'female workers sticking together to stick it to the patriarchy'. Yet Arzner dismissed this narrative. 'No one gave me trouble because I was a woman,' she said later. 'Men were more helpful than women.' Today, Arzner might end up described as a 'pick me girl': internet slang for a woman who seeks validation from men by undermining other women, not least in describing herself, implicitly or explicitly, as 'not like other girls'. In fact, now that therapy-speak dominates online spaces, we no longer refer to 'bad' friends so much as 'toxic' friends – people who're corrosive to our mental health and must be swiftly cut from our lives. This focus on the self and how others make us feel, combined with the rise in online comparison culture and the atomising effects of 'alternate' lifestyles – being single and/or childless, as women increasingly are – has made female friendship more fraught than ever. In the media and online, for instance, it seems like barely a week goes by without another viral first-person account from a 'wronged' friend. 'Why Can't Our Friendship Survive Your Baby', published by New York Magazine in 2023 was a standout. I read more agony-aunt columns about toxic friends than about toxic relationships. Even Watt Smith's book seems, at its core, bent less on tracing 20th-century women's history than on trying, sometimes to the point of solipsism, to absolve her own perceived failings as a friend. The book would have been stronger without such personal interludes, which are too vague and repetitive to be compelling. These could have been replaced with longer discussions of witch-trials, friendships across class boundaries, and what social media has meant for it all. In the meantime, it seems to this young woman as though our standards for friendship are getting higher and higher, even as we grapple with a loneliness epidemic: 16- to 29-year-olds are twice as likely to be chronically lonely than those who are over 70. Perhaps, as Watt Smith concludes, we should stop proclaiming others to be 'amazing' friends or 'terrible' friends, and content ourselves to be, and to have, friends who are simply good enough.
