On June 18, Anne Hathaway surprised her fans by announcing she is expecting her third child with her husband, Adam Shulman.
But as soon as the news broke, many people started looking back at her recent public appearances and noticed something they had completely missed.
The Oscar-winning actress spent months promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 around the world, walking countless red carpets and attending major events without revealing she was pregnant. Now, fans are realizing just how carefully her pregnancy was kept under wraps.
“I was wondering if she was pregnant. She had this tiny little bump, so I wasn’t surprised when I saw the announcement,” one fan commented.
Fans have now realized how Anne Hathaway’s fashion choices hid her baby bump
After Hathaway confirmed her pregnancy with a sweet Instagram video, social media users immediately began revisiting photos from her recent press tour.
The actress officially revealed the news by posting a video of herself in a flowing white dress, then lowering her hands to show her growing baby bump.
“x Baby, I’m yours x,” she captioned the post.
Once the announcement was made, many fans realized that Hathaway had spent nearly the entire Devil Wears Prada 2 world tour quietly pregnant.
According to an industry source, “She did her entire Devil Wears Prada 2 tour around the world quietly pregnant. Her work ethic is unbelievable. She’s a superhero,” via People.
Looking back, fans noticed that many of Hathaway’s outfits featured loose silhouettes, oversized fabrics, layered details, and strategic tailoring.

In Mexico City, she wore an ankle-length black Schiaparelli skirt paired with a matching blazer. Later that evening, she changed into a loose Stella McCartney mini dress and thigh-high boots.
As the tour continued, Hathaway appeared in flowing Valentino Haute Couture gowns, oversized sweaters, wide-leg trousers, and voluminous dresses that concealed her midsection.
“Her outfits were carefully selected to sort of cover the belly area. Props to the stylist,” one person wrote.
Another commented, “Smart PR timing and careful styling. Hollywood pros know how to keep things private even under a microscope.”
A few fans thought they noticed the pregnancy before the announcement

While Hathaway successfully kept the news private, some viewers now claim the clues were there all along.
At the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show in late May, Hathaway wore a loose gray dress with puffy sleeves and an ankle-length silhouette.
Several photos appeared to show a slight bump, though few people paid attention at the time.
“Where was this belly a few days ago during The Devil Wears Prada press tour?” one surprised fan asked after seeing the announcement.
Others pointed out that every pregnancy looks different.
“Styling can do a lot, and every pregnancy looks different. Some women look pregnant early, some don’t show until they’re nearly full term,” one commenter noted.
Fans also revisited moments from the Devil Wears Prada 2 promotional tour featuring Hathaway alongside co-stars Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.
“Unfortunately, revisiting their press tour knowing Emily knew she was pregnant is doing unspeakable things to my brain,” one fan joked.
Another added, “Now we know why Meryl refused to let go of Anne’s hand. She was making sure that Anne was safe and near her.”
Hathaway announced the pregnancy after months of nonstop work
The pregnancy reveal came at an especially busy moment in Hathaway’s career.
In addition to the recent release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, she has recently been involved with several major film projects, including Mother Mary, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and Verity.
Despite the demanding schedule, Hathaway has repeatedly expressed gratitude for her work.
During the 2026 Met Gala, she reflected on balancing a packed career.
“I mean, who’s luckier than us?” she said. “When you get a little bit tired, I’m like, ‘Do you like the reason that you’re tired?’”
One fan summed up the reaction many people had after the pregnancy announcement.
“All those movies she has recently done and pregnant??? A winner in life, in my opinion.”
Hathaway has opened up about becoming a mother and how it changed her outlook on life

Hathaway and Shulman married in 2012 and already share two sons, Jonathan and Jack.
Over the years, the actress has been open about how motherhood transformed her perspective.
In a 2022 interview with WSJ, Hathaway admitted that becoming a parent helped her feel more grounded.
“I didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom,” she said.
The actress has also spoken candidly about the challenges she faced before welcoming her children.
When announcing her second pregnancy in 2019, Hathaway acknowledged her fertility struggles and offered support to others experiencing similar difficulties.
“For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies,” she wrote at the time.

She later described the process as “painful” and “isolating,” explaining that many women silently struggle while trying to conceive.
In 2024, Hathaway also revealed that she experienced a miscarriage in 2015.
Those experiences have made her especially thoughtful when discussing pregnancy and motherhood publicly.
“The absolute motherhood glow”, Anne Hathaway’s pregnancy left fans speechless
With the world cup bringing fans from all over the globe to America, folks are quickly learning that binge-watching the Office isn’t necessarily enough to understand every regional dialect or proper Americanism.
So one Scottish X account ended up going viral for providing a helpful (to some) guide on how Americans use certain English-language terms. Get comfortable as you scroll through, if you’re not American, consider taking notes, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own experiences in the comments down below.

Before you even think about buying a ticket, get ready to hear your sport called "soccer" for the entire trip. The maddening part is that Americans aren't technically wrong. The word was coined in Britain in the late 19th century by university students who shortened "association football" into "assoc," which eventually became "soccer."
Americans kept using it after Brits quietly dropped it, and the more the word became associated with the US, the more British fans recoiled. Stefan Szymanski, a professor at the University of Michigan who has studied the word's history in depth, argues that "soccer" is about as British in origin as cricket. So the next time someone in a New York sports bar says it, maybe let that one go.

Food is where things get genuinely confusing. Walk into any American diner and order chips, and you'll be handed a bag of what you'd call crisps. What you actually want are fries, or more precisely "french fries," even if nobody at the table has any particular feelings about France.

The chip and crisp situation has been causing transatlantic disappointment for generations, and a football tournament is not going to fix it. While you're at it, do not order a biscuit expecting something that goes with a cup of tea. An American biscuit is a soft, buttery, fluffy roll that is genuinely great, but it has absolutely nothing in common with a digestive.

When you've finished eating, ask for the check rather than the bill. Either will work, but what matters far more is the blank line at the bottom of it, which is where a tip goes. In the US, many servers earn a base wage that sits well below a livable income, with tips expected to bridge that gap. The standard is 18 to 20 percent on the pre-tax total, and this applies at bars too.

Leaving the tip line blank is considered genuinely rude rather than a neutral choice. It's less optional appreciation and more a structural part of what the meal actually costs. And when a digital payment screen swings toward you with options starting at 18 percent, just know that pressing "no tip" at a table service restaurant will earn you a look.
The restroom is what you'd call the toilet. Americans tend to find "toilet" a bit blunt as a standalone public request, so ask for the restroom or the bathroom and you'll be fine, regardless of whether there's an actual bath in the building. Also worth knowing: the button in a hotel is an elevator, not a lift, and petrol is gas. Not gasolene, not petroleum. Just gas. There are a lot of words like this.
Be careful with the word "pants." In American English, pants means trousers, the things you wear on your legs. Announcing that you've spilled a pint on your pants is a perfectly ordinary sentence. In Scotland it means something considerably more personal. Along similar lines, if someone offers you a fanny pack to carry your match tickets around, they mean a small bag worn at the waist. In American English, "fanny" means the backside, used as casually as "bum," so try not to look too alarmed at the offer.
One last thing: when an American walking past asks "how are you?", they do not want to know. It is a greeting, not a question, and the correct response is "good, thanks, how are you?" delivered at exactly the pace they were already moving. If you stop to actually consider the answer, you will lose them before you finish the second word. Americans are famously warm, enthusiastic and welcoming, and this summer they are going to be spectacularly energetic hosts. Meet that energy halfway, learn which side of the pavement (sorry, sidewalk) to walk on, and you'll have a brilliant time. Just remember to tip.
