I kept forgetting that Anne Hathaway was pregnant, which just shows you how low-key she was throughout this pregnancy. At long last, our Annie has learned how to “go away” for a while. It’s a good skill for a celebrity to have. Anyway, I thought Anne looked “ready to pop” on Oscar weekend, so it’s no surprise that she was probably eight months pregnant at the time. Anne and her husband Adam Shulman welcomed their first child this week. She had a little boy! I really thought she was having a girl, damn it. My baby predicting mojo is off.
And a baby makes three! Anne Hathaway has given birth to her first child with husband Adam Shulman. The two welcomed a baby boy named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman early on March 24 in Los Angeles, E! News has learned exclusively. Anne’s rep also confirmed the exciting news.
“The baby is extremely healthy and is surrounded by friends and family in L.A.,” a source said. “Anne and Adam are ecstatic to be parents.”
Jonathan Shulman sounds normal, like a doctor or a lawyer. Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman sounds like Marxist screenwriter in the Golden Age of Hollywood, only the studio would have changed his name to Jonny Rose. Anyway, I figured “Rosebanks” was some kind of family name, but of course Annie wouldn’t just go with one simple family name, it had to be a family-name portmanteau. According to E! News, “Anne’s paternal grandfather was named Roseline, while Adam’s mother’s maiden name was Banks. To add to the mix, Adam’s middle name is also Banks.” Sigh…in any case, congrats to Anne and Adam and baby Jonny Rosebanks.

A normal celebrity baby name — will wonders never cease!
It’s lovely. Good on them.
“It came true!”
Lol!
Jonathan used to be my favorite boy’s name and the name I would have used if I had a baby boy. For a while it was Jack. But I switched to the name John. I love that Hugh Grant named his son John.
But I still love the name Jonathan also.
I’m so happy for Anne and Adam. She looked radiant during her pregnancy and nice to see a low-key pregnancy and not a daily papwalk like Kim Kartrashian. I like the middle name. It carries meaning for them, but she didn’t make it his first name like most celebs would have done to be oh-so different. LOL.
My son is John-called-Jack. He’s 5.5 and I’m still surprised at how many people didn’t know Jack could be a nickname for John.
Oh, my grandad was a John-called-Jack. I remember getting his mail and being like, who is John?
People still don’t know?
I thought JFK being the most famous John- called-Jack would have changed that.
@Jegede That is what I thought about when I read Jayna and Falula’s comments. I’m a presidential history nerd, though.
My uncle was John but called Jack as his nickname and I once dated a Jack whose formal name was John. I think it’s not done as much these days but instead naming them Jack as the formal name, not the nickname for John.
My sister almost named her son Jack, as she loves the name Jack also. I’m really into John these days, because you don’t see many boys being named John, at least not where I live. There are a lot of Jacks.
My great uncle was a John, but I only ever called him Jack. Honestly, whenever their phone number popped up on the caller ID it always threw me off, ahha. But I was a kid – he passed away by the time I was about 12/13, so it was only a brief time frame of confusion before someone explained it, probably by the time I was 7 or 8.
Huh, I didn’t know that……
Of course she gave her son a normal name. And apart from the Oscar craziness, she always knew how to go away. I love Anne so much.
Me too. I always felt the dumping on Anne was way over the top that kind of turned very mean-spirited in tone..
I’ve always been an Anne Stan because I hate the Culture of Chill and I love people who are openly earnest and ambitious. Plus she is one of the few actresses who transitioned from kid-friendly to adult films without going the “happy hooker” route.
Yes! I love Anne. I never cared about her Oscar campaign, some people behaved as she was the only one hustling for it but I guess it was just cool to dislike her. She has a reputation of being nice, she is funny in interviews and she is talented actress.
Love Anne and think it’s really sweet they joined the two names to honor both sides of the family for his middle name. Not sure why that deserves an eye roll.
Congratulations, Anne! 🙂
That dog is so cute!
He looks so happy!
Big congratulations Anne.
I legit thought she would have a girl!
I really need to stop buying those old wives’ tales!
They could have gone with “Bankline” haha!
I feel like she was pregnant for years, lol.
Congrats. They aren’t my favorite couple, but I’m happy for them. Little Johathan will be safe and loved, and that’s what matters.
Congratulations to her! Jonathan is a really great normal name. My ex of 8 years and I broke up recently, and his name is Jonathan, so whenever I hear or see his name I always think “dumb Jonathan”.
Anyone else go through that?
Any who, congrats to Annie! 👪🙇
Same. My exe’s name is Tom but I refer to him as ‘Hobbit’ bc I can’t no longer stand that name.
My mother’s name is Pam, so I’ve always had an irrational dislike of being around anyone else named Pam. Hearing it makes me so anxious I’ve on occasion had panic attacks. It took me several years to be able to make it through an episode of The Office without becoming upset. My grandmother has the exact same problem with the name Emma. She once was paged at work over the intercom, “Sharon, Emma is here to see you,” and spent half an hour in the bathroom hyperventalating. Happy end to that story is that it was a client and not her mother, so she was able to move on, but she still remembers how afraid she was.
My ex’s name is Michael (he’s a lawyer). My current love is also Michael so I just call the ex “The Lawyer”. At least during moments of passion I don’t call out the wrong name.
I simply refer to my ex as The Shrimp.
See, I only have one ex-boyfriend – ah, high school – so I have to stick with yucky family issues.
Congrats on the birth of her son and congrats for being smart enough to give your child a normal name that he will not need to explain for the rest of his life.
Why is the baby *extremely* healthy? Is that a normal thing to say in English?
No, never heard it before.
I interpreted that as a way of saying he was a big, chubby baby.
The middle name isn’t precious, it’s a nice combination honoring family members. And it’ll be easier to handle than having 4 names to try to fit everybody in. Congratulations to them. I hope the dog isn’t too jealous. : )
I agree. I see nothing wrong with it. Also, he’s not likely to go around calling himself by his full name. How many people do?
Exactly. It’s a Jewish custom to do so.
Typically, the initial of the last person that passed away on each side of the family is used to form the new baby’s name. Ex.: the R from Grandmother Ruth becomes Rachel and the E from Grandmother Edith becomes Ellen. The new child’s name is then Rachel Ellen (or Ellen Rachel, depending on which side of the family the parents choose to honor first).
Sounds like Ann found an attractive name and celebrated both sides equally. Nice!
I, too, was sure she would be having a girl! Oh, well, congratulations to both Anne and Adam! They must be delighted.
I’m impressed that she had the baby 2 weeks ago and we’re just hearing about it now. See celebs? It IS possible to have a private life.
And I like the middle name portmanteau. It’s sentimental to both sides of the family-otherwise they’d either annoy one side by just choosing one, or going the dreaded 2 middle name route. It’s a middle name-so John R. Shulman has a nice ring to it. It works for a doctor or a pro wrestler. “Here’s Johnny Rosebanks!!” 😀
Jonathan is one my favourite boy names. Congrats to Anne and Adam. May they bask for as long as possible in that new baby cloud.
