Anne Hathaway Gushes Over ‘Dream’ Husband Adam Shulman: ‘He’s the Most Extraordinary Person’ (Exclusive)

Anne Hathaway, the celebrated actress, graces the cover of this year’s PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful issue, where she opens up about the significant role her husband, Adam Shulman, plays in her life. Hathaway, who is currently juggling an impressive lineup of five film projects, attributes much of her success to Shulman’s unwavering support.

The couple first crossed paths in 2008 during the Palm Springs International Film Festival and went on to marry four years later. Since then, they have welcomed two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Reflecting on her dynamic relationship with Shulman, Hathaway describes her husband as her “dream” partner, especially in what she considers an exceptionally busy year for her career.

“This year in particular was unusual. He and I both know that it may never happen like this again,” Hathaway explained in her interview. She emphasised how remarkable Shulman has been in stepping up to support her through this hectic time. “He’s the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met,” she added, showcasing her deep admiration for him.

Hathaway, now 43, has experienced a significant resurgence in her career, with multiple high-profile film releases on the horizon, including “Mother Mary,” “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” “The Odyssey,” “The End of Oak Street,” and “Verity.” Despite her demanding schedule, she insists that none of this would be possible without her husband’s reliability and encouragement.

“I’m so lucky that he’s my partner,” she remarked, underscoring how Shulman’s support cultivates a balanced environment for their family. Hathaway’s appreciation for Shulman has grown even further after navigating the challenges of her recent projects. “If I didn’t know that before this past year, I think I really know it now because he’s on it in every possible way,” she shared.

In addition to his emotional support, Hathaway also commended Shulman for being a culinary enthusiast. She recounted a recent meal he prepared, which included “bangin’ salmon” accompanied by rice, purple sweet potatoes, spinach, and roasted tomatoes. “It was so good,” she enthused, indicating the joy that comes from sharing both a home and a life with him.

The pair, who have worked hard to create a supportive partnership, embody what Hathaway regards as the essence of true teamwork. “It’s one thing to have dreams,” she mentioned, “but it’s another thing to have somebody who helps you achieve them.” She firmly believes that many of her achievements can be credited to Shulman’s commitment to their family and her personal aspirations.

Hathaway’s praise for her husband extends beyond just their immediate family environment. She expressed gratitude for the way they complement each other’s strengths, remarking on how well they collaborate in managing their household and their careers.

In it, readers will find not just her thoughts about beauty and success, but also her heartfelt acknowledgment of the partnership that fuels her life and work.
