Inside Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman's Marriage: A Decade-Long Hollywood Love Story

Anne Hathaway's romantic life centers on a partnership that has quietly endured for more than a decade in the Hollywood spotlight. The 43-year-old Oscar-winning actress tied the knot with Adam Shulman in September 2012 at a private ceremony in Big Sur, California.

Their connection began years earlier when the two crossed paths at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2008. Hathaway has been candid about the immediacy of her feelings, recalling her reaction to meeting Shulman: she turned to a friend and declared, "I'm going to marry that man," adding that she recognized him as her soulmate from their first encounter.

Hathaway and Shulman have built a family away from public view, raising two sons: Jonathan, who is 10, and Jack, 6. The actress has been deliberate about keeping her children out of the media glare, maintaining boundaries around her personal life despite her high-profile career.

While Hathaway commands attention on screen, Shulman maintains his own presence in the entertainment world. He has appeared in television projects including The West Wing and American Dreams. Beyond acting, he has carved out a career in production and jewelry design, notably collaborating on the creation of Hathaway's engagement ring and establishing his own design brand, James Banks Design.

As Hathaway navigates a particularly demanding year in 2026 with multiple film projects in various stages—including Mother Mary and The Devil Wears Prada 2—she has spoken openly about Shulman's role in supporting her demanding schedule. In an interview with People, she expressed her gratitude for his steadfast commitment, noting that his support extends across every aspect of her life.

"This year in particular was unusual," Hathaway reflected, acknowledging that such an intense professional period may not repeat itself. She emphasized Shulman's dedication, describing him as "the most extraordinary person" she has encountered and expressing her fortune in having him as her life partner.

The couple has continued to make public appearances together, recently attending a fashion show during New York Fashion Week, where they sat front row.
