Anne Hathaway announced her third pregnancy at age 43, revealing during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers that the pregnancy took her and husband Adam Shulman by surprise. "Sabíamos lo que hacíamos, pero nos sorprendió mucho que funcionara," she said, according to ABC.es and Infobae. The actress and her husband have nicknamed the unborn child their "buzzer-beater," a basketball term for a last-second shot, reflecting the unexpected but joyful timing .
The pregnancy was first reported in mid-June when paparazzi photos from the French Riviera surfaced. Hathaway confirmed it on Instagram on June 19 with a video showing her cradling her belly, captioning it with Barbara Lewis's song "Baby, I'm Yours" . She had been promoting La Odisea (Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey) and deliberately delayed the announcement to keep focus on the film.
Hathaway already has two sons with Shulman: Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Her path to motherhood has included fertility struggles and a miscarriage in 2015, which she has publicly discussed. During the interview, Seth Meyers, a father of three, joked that parenting a third child is like "piloto automático" and Hathaway playfully compared it to adding a new cast member to the family . The couple's joy and surprise were evident throughout the conversation.
