When she’s not in front of the camera, Anne Hathaway enjoys the simplicity of home life with her family. In a recent interview with Vogue for their August cover, the Oscar-winning actress revealed that her happiest moments happen far from Hollywood—just spending quality time with her husband, Adam Shulman, and their two sons, Jonathan, 9, and Jack, 5.
Describing her downtime, Hathaway shared that her days at home involve card games, baking sweet treats when time allows, and gently coaching her sons on how to bounce a basketball inside without disturbing the neighbors. It’s a slower pace that she fully embraces when she’s off-set, and one that centers around connection and laughter.
The article also highlighted Hathaway’s close friendship with fellow actor Bradley Cooper. Both living in Manhattan and raising young children, the two bonded during the pandemic, often joining forces for impromptu kitchen dance parties with their kids. Cooper, who co-parents his daughter Lea with ex Irina Shayk, spoke warmly of Hathaway, praising her kindness and intelligence, and calling her a deeply grounded and genuine person.
While Hathaway is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, she’s intentional about keeping her children out of the spotlight. In a 2023 interview with PORTER, she explained that kids need the freedom to shape their own identities without public pressure. “It’s not just about my well-being,” she said. “It’s about being part of a family unit. Kids deserve space to become who they are.”
Reflecting on motherhood, Hathaway told WSJ Magazine in 2022 that becoming a mom shifted her entire outlook. “I didn’t feel fully present in my life until I had my children,” she said. “It gave me a deeper sense of truth. I stopped making excuses and started living with more intention.” For Hathaway, parenting isn’t just a role—it’s been a powerful path to self-growth.
