Early Life & Biography
Anne Jacqueline Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982, in Brooklyn, New York City. Her father, Gerald Thomas Hathaway, is a labor attorney; her mother, Kathleen Ann “Kate” McCauley, is a former stage actress who gave up her career to raise her children. Anne was named after William Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway — a fact she has frequently acknowledged. She has two brothers: an older brother, Michael, and a younger brother, Thomas. The family relocated to Millburn, New Jersey, when Hathaway was young, where she attended Brooklyn Heights Montessori School and Wyoming Elementary School before graduating from Millburn High School. She attended school plays, performed at Carnegie Hall with a high school chorus group, and was nominated for the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award for her role in Once Upon a Mattress.
She briefly enrolled at Vassar College to study English and political science, then transferred to New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study ultimately leaving to focus on her acting career full-time. She was the first teenager accepted into the Barrow Group Theatre Company’s acting program in New York City. She left the Catholic Church at age 15 after learning her brother Michael is gay and has been a vocal LGBTQ+ advocate ever since. She dated Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri from 2004 to 2008; after the FBI arrested Follieri for fraud, her diaries were confiscated from their shared apartment though she was never charged. She met jewelry designer and actor Adam Shulman at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2008; the couple became engaged in 2011 and married on September 29, 2012. They have two sons: Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman (born March 24, 2016) and Jack Shulman (born 2019). In April 2024, Hathaway publicly confirmed she has been sober since October 2018.
