Hathaway experienced a miscarriage while portraying a pregnant woman in a play. Despite this, she concealed her distress and continued with the performance. Hathaway, who now has two sons, revealed that she had kept up the facade of being okay during that time.
The star Anne Hathaway, who has since had two sons, said she “pretended everything was fine” during a play she was in.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, the 41-year-old actress shared that her initial pregnancy experience “didn’t proceed as expected,” explaining, “I was involved in a play where I had to simulate giving birth every evening.” Hathaway, now a mother of two sons, revealed that throughout the six-week production, she “put on a facade of normalcy.” However, she confided in her friends backstage, acknowledging, “It became overwhelming to conceal.”
In the one-woman off-Broadway production Grounded in 2015, Hathaway portrayed a pilot who becomes pregnant, a role that involved her depicting childbirth nightly. It was during this period that she faced a miscarriage. However, Hathaway later celebrated the birth of her first son, Jonathan, with her husband Adam Shulman in March 2016. In a July 2019 Instagram post, she announced her second pregnancy while also revealing her challenges with fertility.
“This isn’t for a film,” she penned, sharing a picture of her growing baby bump. “But jokes aside, to all those battling infertility and struggling with conception, understand that my journey to either of my pregnancies wasn’t a smooth path. Sending you all extra love.”
During the interview, Hathaway elucidated her motivation for composing that post, stating, “Considering the anguish I experienced while attempting to conceive, it would have seemed insincere to share something solely joyous when I recognize the narrative is far more intricate for everyone.” She further expressed her refusal to feel ashamed about something that appears “statistically to actually be quite normal.”
Following her miscarriage, Hathaway disclosed her surprise upon discovering the prevalence of miscarriages. Additionally, she learned that numerous of her acquaintances had undergone similar ordeals.
“After realizing the lack of accessible information and the unnecessary isolation many were experiencing, I felt compelled to address it,” she expressed. “That’s where the real harm sets in. So, I made the decision to speak up about it.”
She recounted how, following her Instagram post, women would approach her in tears for years.
“In those moments, I simply offered solace, understanding the weight they carried, knowing it wasn’t solely theirs to bear anymore.”
Their second son, Jack, arrived in November 2019.
“Having experienced both sides, where one must summon the grace to celebrate others’ joys despite their own struggles, I wanted to convey to my sisters: ‘You’re not always obliged to be graceful,'” she shared.
