'Complaining just isn't Anne' — Hathaway prepares for 'The Odyssey' while expecting
Hathaway is expecting her third child as Christopher Nolan's epic nears its release
- Insider says 'complaining just isn't Anne' as Odyssey release nears
- Hathaway is pregnant with her third child with husband Adam Shulman
- The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, opens globally on 17 July 2026
A source close to Anne Hathaway has pushed back on any notion that the actress is struggling ahead of the worldwide release of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, insisting the pregnant star is handling the moment with characteristic professionalism and calm.
The insider verdict
With The Odyssey set to open in cinemas globally on 17 July 2026, Hathaway is preparing for another major press cycle — this time visibly pregnant with her third child. Yet those around her say there is no drama behind the scenes.
"Complaining just isn't Anne. She approaches things with gratitude and professionalism, and that's exactly how she handled the press tour," an insider told PEOPLE magazine. "Right now, she's focused on family and enjoying a little downtime."
Pregnancy announcement
Hathaway, 43, confirmed her pregnancy on Friday, posting a clip to her Instagram account revealing she is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, a jewellery designer whom she married in 2012. The couple already have two sons — Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.
The announcement came nearly two months after the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, a gap that was no coincidence. Hathaway had deliberately kept the news private throughout that film's press tour, determined to keep attention on the project rather than her personal life.
Keeping the focus on the film
"Anne was excited about the movie and wanted the attention to stay on the project. She has always been very good at separating her personal life from her work life," the source noted.
The insider added that Hathaway had been equally protective of her own narrative. "She wanted to reveal the pregnancy on her own terms. The press tour was about celebrating the movie and getting fans excited to see it."
Career in full stride
Despite expecting her third child, Hathaway's professional calendar shows no signs of slowing. Her role in The Odyssey — Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic — positions her at the centre of one of the most anticipated releases of 2026, with the film opening worldwide on 17 July.
The source underlined that her mindset remains rooted in appreciation rather than pressure. "She's grateful for where she is in her career and for the opportunity to be part of a film that means so much to so many people."
