Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman have a love straight out of the movies. The actress knew from the second she met the producer that he was the love of her life.

Over a decade later, Anne and Adam celebrated their wedding anniversary, cuddled up on the couch with the soundscape of a rainy New York evening. “I was curled up on his chest, and we were watching hour three of Abbott Elementary, and I was like, ‘I’m so happy. This is the right guy for me.’” she said on Late Night with Seth Meyers in October 2023.

The pair have kept their relationship relatively low-key, but that hasn’t stopped them from gushing over one another. “We’re really just lucky that we keep growing together,” Anne gushed on the Drew Barrymore Show.

Here’s a complete breakdown of Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman’s relationship timeline:

Anne and Adam met through mutual friends and sparked an instant connection. “We hit it off immediately, but it took us a pretty long time to get together,” she told Vogue in 2010. “He thought that I had a boyfriend, and I thought that he had a girlfriend, so I thought that I’d better keep my distance because I didn’t want to be that girl.”

Upon realizing they were both single, the Idea of Youstarlet said, “Things sped up a bit — and I think I’ll leave it at that.”

Anne later told Harper’s Bazaar U.K. that it was love at first sight. “I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life,” the actress said. “I also knew that I couldn’t have met him at a worse time. I took my trust out for a ridiculous joyride with him.”

She added: “It was scary. But as the days wore on, it kept getting better and better. I found that the love I found for him made me more trusting of everyone, and the more I started to see who I had become.”

They were spotted for the first time together in 2009.

Anne later revealed on Seth Meyers that she and Adam officially got “closer” after her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live in October 2008. And in April 2009, the pair were first photographed together at an industry event.

From then, the two were frequently snapped front row at fashion weeks and at film premieres (though, they walked the red carpets separately). They finally debuted their couple status when appearing side by side at the A Streetcar Named Desire play premiere in December 2009.

Anne and Adam got engaged two years later.

While typically keeping their relationship private, Anne told People at the time: “I am very much in love with him. [Only], Adam totally ruined my plan. I was looking forward to a little alone time, and then I fell in love like a fool!”

What’s more, Adam worked with diamond jewelry company Kwiat Heritage to design his fiancée’s ring, per The Hollywood Reporter. He co-owns a jewelry company, James Banks Design, with jewelry and prop designer Heidi Nahser Fink, whom he met on Anne’s Alice in Wonderland.

Anne and Adam married in 2012.

The two wed in a private coastal ceremony in Big Sur, California, in September 2012 among about 150 guests. According to British Vogue, she wore a strapless gown designed by Valentino Garavani, while the groom sported a classic black tuxedo.

Shortly after tying the knot, Anne gushed about her husband to Glamour (via Us Weekly). “He’s a good man,” she said. “He’s beyond intelligent. He loves fearlessly. His beliefs are beautiful. He’s my best friend. I love him. I just feel that I have the greatest husband in the world for me.”
