Anne Hathaway reflects on her challenging journey to motherhood and the heartfelt influence her openness about her experience has had over the years.
Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, who is a mother to sons Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4, with her husband Adam Shulman, recently looked back on her challenging journey to motherhood. She shared how she faced a miscarriage while performing in the Off-Broadway play Grounded for nearly six weeks in 2015.
Reflecting on her experience, she told in a cover story published on March 25, «The first time it didn’t work out for me. I was doing a play and I had to give birth onstage every night.»
During that time, she felt that «it was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine,» and chose to be honest about her struggles with her friends and family. «I had to keep it real otherwise.»
Later on, she extended this same openness to the public when announcing her pregnancy. She explained, «When it did go well for me, having been on the other side of it — where you have to have the grace to be happy for someone — I wanted to let my sisters know, ’You don’t have to always be graceful. I see you, and I’ve been you.’»
«It’s really hard to want something so much and to wonder if you’re doing something wrong,» she added. The Oscar winner further recalled her shock at learning how many pregnancies end in miscarriage. According to the Mayo Clinic, 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, though the actual number is likely higher. She wished that this information was more widely disseminated.
Anne continued, «I thought, ’Where is this information? Why are we feeling so unnecessarily isolated?’ That’s where we take on damage. So I decided that I was going to talk about it.»
When Anne Hathaway announced her second pregnancy on Instagram in 2019, she accompanied it with a powerful caption.
«It’s not for a movie…» Hathaway wrote, referring to her baby bump. «All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.»
Reflecting on the impact of her candid post, she shared, «The thing that broke my heart, blew my mind, and gave me hope was that for three years after, almost daily, a woman came up to me in tears and I would just hold her, because she was carrying this (pain) around, and suddenly it wasn’t all hers anymore.»
Reflecting on her experience, she shared that given «the pain I felt while trying to get pregnant, it would’ve felt disingenuous to post something all the way happy when I know the story is much more nuanced than that for everyone.»
Recently another actress, Nicole Kidman, also shared her struggles having children.

What happened to the girl who took first place in nearly 300 beauty pageants? She is now 17 years old.
Everyone in the world adored this young girl’s attractiveness. Few people are aware that another life was concealed beneath this enormous achievement, though. This woman’s attractiveness has fallen prey to parental ego. She gave the child’s mind and health in exchange for millions of money.
Eden was raised as both a source of mother affection and a way to increase his fortune. Everyone noted the baby’s remarkable beauty when she was just four months old. The mother made it her mission to make her child renowned around the world, and she made every effort to carry out her vision.
The little child made her debut appearance on a TV program shortly after turning one. Her beauty absolutely awed every TV watcher. It was immediately apparent that the mother had gone to considerable lengths to construct a persona for her child. He brought his daughter to the solarium where she experimented on clothing, hair, and makeup. In order to give the spectator the impression of a living doll, this was done. Her mother’s wish for her to secure a lucrative deal started to come true as soon as she made her debut on television.
Everyone loved her, and it’s astonishing that despite her youth, she handled all the pressures of public life. Nobody at the time could have imagined how challenging it was for her.
At the height of the girl’s fame, many cautioned the mother that the baby’s health would be harmed by the girl’s regular use of the solarium and her weight in cosmetics. The woman, however, would not listen.
Eden had to sleep occasionally since he was always going to auditions and performing in performances. Energy drinks and lots of coffee are helpful under these circumstances. By the way, mothers whose kids competed in beauty pageants favored these drinks. They were willing to make any sacrifice.
Our protagonist definitively stopped taking part in auditions and performances when she was six years old. The mom was obliged to accept her daughter’s decision after a brief argument between mother and daughter. After then, they periodically made public appearances but lost their prior level of fame. A book on the subject was written by a woman, and it garnered mixed reviews.
He charged the mother of the kid with ruining her daughter’s childhood and compromising her health. The author claims to have witnessed the mother’s repeated cruelty and occasionally unpleasant behavior toward the girl.
The girl was reportedly always on a diet, according to the author. The girl’s health suffered as a result, but the mother showed little concern.
Eden has reached the age of 17. She once experienced childhood as an ordinary child, free from a barrage of photographs and contests. She no longer has aspirations of competing in beauty pageants, although she still enjoys posing for photos occasionally.
Eden Wood excelled in her academics, enjoyed taking part in school-sponsored amateur productions, and is a talented singer and drummer. Eden’s participation in the teen television series was also made public.
Eden Wood was able to forget the difficulties she had as a youngster. She went back to his specialty as an adolescent.
