Actress Anne Hathaway has been a household name in Hollywood for decades. Known for her striking looks and iconic roles, from her breakout role as Princess Mia Thermopolis in 2001's The Princess Diaries to her Oscar-winning performance as Fantine in 2012's Les Misérables, to her recent romantic film The Idea of You.

While millions of fans, followers, and admirers crush on and drool over Anne Hathaway's evergreen charisma both on and off-screen, what many don't know is the fact that the actress has made a point to keep her personal life private—including her 11-year marriage to Adam Shulman.

The actress perhaps broke a million hearts when she surprised her fans and tied the knot with Shulman, her then-boyfriend of four years, back in 2012 when she was 29 years old.

Now, over a decade and two children later, the couple remains strong, committed, and mostly away from the paparazzi and spotlight. The actress previously told Harper's Bazaar UK that it was love at first sight for the two individuals.

Hathaway told USA Today that she and Shulman enjoy a low-key, laid-back lifestyle.

"We have house parties and dinner parties and just hang out," she said. "I'm so delighted by [Adam]. He's all the things you want a partner to be. I find joy in his presence," she added.

Let's take a moment and find out more about Anne Hathaway's husband, Adam Shulman.


Adam Shulman is also an actor himself 

Back in 2005, Shulman had a five-episode stint on the TV series called American Dreams. He also played Deputy Enos Strate in the TV movie The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning around 2007. West Wing superfans may recognize him as Youth Voter #1 in the 2006 episode titled Duck and Cover. In addition to his acting skills, Shulman graduated from Brown University in 2003 with a degree in theater.

Interestingly, Shulman and Hathaway met at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2008, and owing to a woman's correct gut feeling, Hathaway later told Harper's Bazaar UK in its February 2013 cover story that she told a mutual friend of theirs at the time, "I'm going to marry that man. I think he thought I was a little nuts, which I am a bit, but I'm also nice."

Adam Shulman is also a jewelry designer

Apart from the multiple hats that Shulman juggles, he is also a jewelry designer and co-owns the jewelry company James Banks Design with designer Heidi Nahser Fink, who he first met on the set of Hathaway's Alice in Wonderland (Nahser Fink designed jewelry and props for the film).

Shulman also designed the engagement ring he presented to Hathaway back in 2012 with the help of the diamond jewelry company Kwiat. Furthermore, Hathaway told ELLE during an interview for its Women in Washington April 2017 issue that she once cared too much about other people's opinions of her.

However, she credited Shulman for many changes in her life, including her worldview. She said she became comfortable and started trusting people. Hathaway's last ex, Raffaello Follieri, had been arrested for fraud, so she went through a rough time in her early 20s. But she admitted in several interviews that after she met her husband, he changed her life.
