Actress Anne Hathaway recently balanced personal and professional milestones with a family outing to Disneyland, coinciding with the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The expectant mother, who is awaiting her third child, was seen enjoying the theme park on a Saturday with her husband, Adam Shulman, and their two sons, Jonathan and Jack. This visit occurred shortly before Hathaway was honored at the 2026 Disney Legends Awards ceremony.
Family Outing and D23 Event
During her day at Disneyland, Hathaway, 43, was photographed sporting casual attire suitable for the amusement park. She wore a black tank top that accommodated her baby bump, paired with white drawstring pants and gray-and-white sneakers. A white sweater was draped over her shoulders, and she completed the look with a tan bucket hat. This outing came amidst some online commentary regarding her maternity style, which she has previously addressed.
The D23 event is a major gathering for Disney enthusiasts, celebrating all aspects of the Disney empire, from films and television to theme parks and merchandise. Hathaway’s presence at the park during this time highlighted her deep connection with the Disney brand, culminating in her induction as a Disney Legend.
Disney Legend Induction and Family’s Reaction
The following day, Hathaway was officially recognized as a Disney Legend. The prestigious ceremony saw her supported by her husband and parents. However, the actress shared with People magazine that her young sons remain largely unimpressed by her esteemed status.
“That kind of stuff doesn’t really make it past the front door,” Hathaway explained about her children’s perception of her career achievements. “It’s all fun and everything, but basically, as soon as I pass the threshold, somebody’s throwing a football at me or asking me to clean out their backpack or asking me to make them a snack.” She humorously added that her legend status holds little sway at home, but noted her sons are keenly anticipating meeting Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
During her acceptance speech at the Disney Legends Awards, Hathaway expressed profound gratitude, stating, “I am here today because I’m one of the most insanely lucky people in the world.”
Addressing Pregnancy Rumors
Earlier in the summer, Hathaway took to Instagram to address what she described as “ridiculous” rumors suggesting her pregnancy was not genuine. The speculation arose after a particular maternity outfit worn at a press event for her film “The End of Oak Street” went viral. In a behind-the-scenes video montage, Hathaway, surrounded by her glam squad, clarified the situation.
“Fake hair, real bump,” she captioned the video, inviting followers to experience the “Block Party chaos” of promoting her film. The footage showed her stylist adding a hairpiece to her ponytail, with Hathaway acknowledging, “It’s not my hair.” This post served to confirm the authenticity of her pregnancy.
Pregnancy Journey and Reflections
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman, who married in 2012, announced they were expecting their third child earlier this summer. Hathaway shared a social media clip showcasing her growing baby bump, dressed in a flowing white top and matching maxi skirt, set to the song “Baby, I’m Yours.”
Reflecting on becoming pregnant in her 40s, Hathaway spoke with Access Hollywood about the experience. She described the journey as one with “very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low.” She elaborated, “There’s always hope until there’s not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like one percent to two percent.” The couple decided to embrace the process without intense pressure, allowing life to unfold naturally.
“We’re overjoyed because we just know from personal experience that not everybody gets this, and certainly not when you want it – sometimes not ever,” Hathaway shared, emphasizing her deep appreciation for the pregnancy. She reiterated this sentiment in April during an interview with People, where she was recognized as one of their Most Beautiful Women.
“I know that not everybody who wants to be a parent gets to be. I’m just blown away by how fortunate I am,” she stated. Recalling her previous pregnancies, she added, “It went really well for me twice, and that’s really lucky.”
Partnership and Support
Hathaway also expressed significant gratitude for her husband’s unwavering support. She credited Shulman with being an exceptional partner, particularly during her work commitments.
“I’m so lucky that he’s my partner that I spend my life with,” she effused. “If I didn’t know that before this past year, I think I really know it now because with absolutely everything he’s just, he’s on it. He holds it down.” Her words underscored the strength of their partnership as they prepare to welcome their third child.
