“I knew he was the love of my life the moment I met him,” the actress shared with Harper’s Bazaar UK. After four years of dating, the couple tied the knot in September 2012 during a beautiful ceremony in Big Sur, California.
Hathaway also revealed to USA Today that she and Shulman lead a relaxed and simple lifestyle. “We throw house parties, have dinner gatherings, and just enjoy each other’s company,” she said. “Adam brings me so much happiness. He’s everything you’d want in a partner, and I find so much joy just being around him.”
So, who is the man who captured Anne Hathaway’s heart? Here’s everything you need to know about Adam Shulman and their loving relationship.
An Actor
In 2005, Shulman appeared in a five-episode arc on the early 2000s TV show American Dreams. He later portrayed Deputy Enos Strate in the 2007 TV movie The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. Fans of The West Wing might recognize him as “Youth Voter #1” from the 2006 episode titled “Duck and Cover.” Along with his acting experience, Shulman earned a degree in theater from Brown University in 2003.
Native New Yorker
Both Hathaway and Shulman are New York natives, and they’ve spent much of their time together in the city. Engagement rumors first surfaced in 2011 when Hathaway was seen wearing a ring while strolling with Shulman in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. Before tying the knot, they were often spotted walking Hathaway’s chocolate lab, Esmeralda.
In September 2022, the couple attended the U.S. Open, enjoying the evening with celebrities like Zach Braff, Angus Cloud, Andy Cohen, and James Marsden. Hathaway was photographed in a white button-down paired with a yellow skirt, while Shulman sported a blue sweater.
More recently, the couple attended fashion writer and socialite Derek Blasberg’s birthday celebration at EN Japanese Brasserie in the West Village.
Married Hathaway in September 2012
On September 29, 2012, Shulman and Hathaway opted for an intimate, nature-themed wedding in Big Sur. The Les Misérables actress wore a custom Valentino gown with minimal accessories, including a vintage-inspired headband and a simple veil.
The couple invited over 150 guests for the wedding weekend, but none of Hathaway’s A-list friends attended. “It was just close friends and family,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “No movie stars. Only a few people from the industry, like her stunt double.”
In September 2023, Hathaway and Shulman marked their 11th wedding anniversary. Their plans were disrupted by heavy rain in New York City, so they spent the evening watching one of their favorite shows.
“I had a moment, curled up on his chest during hour three of Abbott Elementary, and I thought, ‘I’m so happy. This is the right guy for me,’” Hathaway shared on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Loves Being a Father
Shulman and Hathaway welcomed their first son, Jonathan Rosebanks, in 2016, followed by their second son, Jack, in late 2019. After Jonathan’s birth, the jewelry designer told PEOPLE that he genuinely enjoys every aspect of fatherhood, including tasks like changing diapers. “Every part of it is amazing,” he shared, expressing his admiration for Hathaway as a mother. “She amazes me more and more every day.”
keeps Hathaway Grounded
Hathaway has taken on some intense roles, including her lead in the 2019 thriller Serenity, where she portrayed a domestic abuse victim alongside Matthew McConaughey. She credited Shulman with helping her maintain a balance between the dark character and her personal life.
“I thought I was doing a good job keeping my real life separate,” Hathaway shared with PEOPLE at the film’s January 2019 premiere. “But by the end, the role had taken over. I’m so grateful my husband was there to remind me where our life ended and where the character began, helping me keep that clear.”
Working Together
Shulman’s laid-back personality proved helpful when the couple worked together on the indie drama Song One in 2014. Hathaway starred in the film, while Shulman co-produced. The actress admitted to PEOPLE that she initially had reservations about working with her husband. “People always say, ‘Don’t work with your spouse,'” she shared. “But I loved it. He’s really talented and a fantastic producer. I actually learned a lot from him during the process.”
Hathaway’s co-star Johnny Flynn also praised Shulman’s presence on set, telling PEOPLE, “It was lovely having him around.”
