When Anne Hathaway gushes, people listen — and her latest comments about her husband have fans searching for more.
In a new interview tied to PEOPLE’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue, the Oscar-winning actress called Adam Shulman her “dream partner,” praising his unwavering support during one of the busiest years of her career.
So who exactly is the man behind the scenes? Here are five fast facts about Hathaway’s husband.
1. He’s an Actor and Producer
GettyWhile he tends to stay out of the spotlight compared to his wife, Shulman has worked in the entertainment industry for years.
He has had small acting roles in projects like “American Dreams” and “The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning,” and has also worked behind the scenes as a producer. His credits include the indie film “Song One,” which starred Hathaway.
2. He Helped Design Anne Hathaway’s Engagement Ring
Shulman isn’t just involved in film — he’s also a jewelry designer.
He co-founded the jewelry brand James Banks Design and helped design Hathaway’s engagement ring, making the piece a deeply personal part of their relationship.
3. He and Hathaway Have Been Married Since 2012
The couple first met at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2008 and quickly formed a connection.
They tied the knot in September 2012 during a private ceremony in Big Sur, California. More than a decade later, they’ve remained one of Hollywood’s more low-key, enduring couples.
4. They Share Two Sons
Hathaway and Shulman share two children: Jonathan, born in 2016, and Jack, born in 2019.
Despite their high-profile careers, the couple has largely kept their family life private — something Hathaway has said helps keep her grounded.
5. Hathaway Calls Him Her ‘Dream Partner’
In her latest interview, Hathaway didn’t hold back when talking about her husband.
“He supports me completely,” she said, adding that during an especially demanding year, “in every possible way, he’s the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met.”
She also emphasized how much his presence has shaped her success, noting that she “absolutely would not be able to have achieved what I’ve done without” him.
The Bottom Line
Adam Shulman may not chase the spotlight, but his impact on Anne Hathaway’s life — both personally and professionally — is clear.
From helping design her engagement ring to supporting her through major career moments, he’s become a steady, behind-the-scenes presence — and, as Hathaway puts it, her ultimate partner.
