Anne Hathaway reflects on her challenging journey to motherhood and the heartfelt influence her openness about her experience has had over the years.
Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, who is a mother to sons Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4, with her husband Adam Shulman, recently looked back on her challenging journey to motherhood. She shared how she faced a miscarriage while performing in the Off-Broadway play Grounded for nearly six weeks in 2015.
Reflecting on her experience, she told in a cover story published on March 25, «The first time it didn’t work out for me. I was doing a play and I had to give birth onstage every night.»
During that time, she felt that «it was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine,» and chose to be honest about her struggles with her friends and family. «I had to keep it real otherwise.»
Later on, she extended this same openness to the public when announcing her pregnancy. She explained, «When it did go well for me, having been on the other side of it — where you have to have the grace to be happy for someone — I wanted to let my sisters know, ’You don’t have to always be graceful. I see you, and I’ve been you.’»
«It’s really hard to want something so much and to wonder if you’re doing something wrong,» she added. The Oscar winner further recalled her shock at learning how many pregnancies end in miscarriage. According to the Mayo Clinic, 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, though the actual number is likely higher. She wished that this information was more widely disseminated.
Anne continued, «I thought, ’Where is this information? Why are we feeling so unnecessarily isolated?’ That’s where we take on damage. So I decided that I was going to talk about it.»
When Anne Hathaway announced her second pregnancy on Instagram in 2019, she accompanied it with a powerful caption.
«It’s not for a movie…» Hathaway wrote, referring to her baby bump. «All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.»
Reflecting on the impact of her candid post, she shared, «The thing that broke my heart, blew my mind, and gave me hope was that for three years after, almost daily, a woman came up to me in tears and I would just hold her, because she was carrying this (pain) around, and suddenly it wasn’t all hers anymore.»
Reflecting on her experience, she shared that given «the pain I felt while trying to get pregnant, it would’ve felt disingenuous to post something all the way happy when I know the story is much more nuanced than that for everyone.»
Recently another actress, Nicole Kidman, also shared her struggles having children.
Woman Finds Diamond Ring On Beach – When Jeweler Sees It, He Tells Her This
A couple is now closer than ever after their misplaced diamond ring was discovered on a nearby beach. This is the tale:
Samantha, who frequents the beach, was strolling down the sun-drenched seashore one day when she happened upon the stunning diamond ring.
She was drawn to the ring right away since it shimmered in the sun’s golden beams. Samantha saw an etching reading “E and J” on the inside of the ring after closely examining it.
Samantha made the decision to take the ring to her neighborhood jeweler, Mr. Dalton, after realizing how emotional it must be for its owner. She was hoping he could help find the diamond’s true owner.
When Mr. Dalton, Samantha’s trusted jeweler, saw the ring, he had an unexpected response. The discovery made him pale, and he looked noticeably scared.
His response surprised Samantha, who was unable to understand why the ring had such a profound effect on him. Samantha was left with a ton of questions after Mr. Dalton suggested they call the police right away.
Mr. Dalton and Samantha brought their concerns to Officer Paula Hawkins at the police station, and she treated the matter seriously. They clarified that the ring was the property of
Mrs. Dalton and was a treasured present that Mr. Dalton personally gave her. Husband of Jennifer Dalton was furious because she had vanished from their lives.
Searching from the shore where the ring was discovered, Officer Hawkins got to work. She looked at security camera footage from a neighboring beach bar and conducted interviews with beachgoers. Officer Hawkins persevered, determined to find Mrs. Dalton, even though at first he was meeting dead ends.
Officer Hawkins made the decision to follow Mrs. Dalton’s path back to the Dalton home from the beach. She saw a woman who looked like Mrs. Dalton on the beach along the way. As she got closer, her heart raced. She was relieved to see that the woman she thought was Jennifer Dalton was indeed unconscious on the beach.
Jennifer clarified that her phone had died after she had taken a nap on the beach and fallen asleep. This clarified her inability to get in touch with anyone. Officer Hawkins offered to drive Mrs. Dalton home, relieved to find her safe.
Mr. Dalton was ecstatic to see his wife safe and well back at the Dalton home. Happy tears streamed down the couple’s faces as they hugged. Mr. Dalton surprised Jennifer with a brand-new, even more exquisite diamond ring that was etched with the words “E and J” to make up for the missing ring.
In a heartfelt moment, Jennifer expressed her forgiveness for misplacing the original ring, and their experience had reinforced and revitalized their love.
We are reminded of the value of cherishing our loved ones and the strength of love by this endearing narrative. The depth of our affection for one another is something that can occasionally be discovered even after losing a priceless item.
