Anne Hathaway had fans talking long before she made any official announcement.
The Oscar-winning actress spent recent weeks enjoying a sun-soaked getaway in St. Tropez with her family, and while the vacation appeared low-key on the surface, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t stop focusing on one detail.
Photos from the French Riviera quickly began circulating online, sparking a wave of speculation about what might be happening behind the scenes.

At first glance, the images looked like a typical celebrity vacation.
Hathaway was photographed relaxing by the water in a colorful bikini, a straw sunhat, and sunglasses while spending time outdoors with loved ones.
But as the photos spread across social media, many fans noticed what appeared to be a slightly fuller silhouette beneath the actress’ beachwear.

Soon, pregnancy rumors began making headlines.
Neither Hathaway nor her representatives addressed the speculation at the time, leaving fans to wonder whether there was any truth behind the growing buzz.
As it turns out, there was.
Moments later, Hathaway decided to tell the story herself.
Rather than confirming the news through a magazine interview or a carefully orchestrated publicist statement, the actress turned directly to her audience on Instagram.
In a touching video set to Barbara Lewis’ “Baby, I’m Yours,” Hathaway appeared wearing a flowing white gown as she gently revealed her growing baby bump.
The video served as the actress’ official confirmation that she and husband Adam Shulman are expecting their third child together.
The announcement instantly sent fans and fellow celebrities into celebration mode. Among the first to react was Barbra Streisand, who wrote, “To Anne & Adam, Congratulations on your pregnancy! Mazel Tov, Barbra xo.” Kate Hudson also shared her excitement, commenting, “Oh BABY! ❤️❤️❤️ So beautiful!”

The baby will join the couple’s two sons, Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman and Jack Shulman.
Hathaway and Shulman welcomed Jonathan in March 2016, nearly four years after their private Big Sur wedding in September 2012.

Their second son, Jack, arrived in November 2019 after a pregnancy that Hathaway later described as anything but easy.
Despite being one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Hathaway has consistently kept both boys largely out of the public eye, rarely sharing photos of them and speaking only occasionally about family life.
