Anne Hathaway’s son Jack is discovering the advantages and disadvantages of courtside seats! On Wednesday, November 13, the 42-year-old Idea of You actress accompanied her youngest son to witness the New York Knicks play the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden in New York. During the game, cameras captured a near encounter in which Ogugua “OG” Anunoby plowed over a barrier and collided with Hathaway and her kid.

The unexpected noise left Jack speechless, even though there didn’t seem to be any injuries. “Anunoby’s scaring those along the sidelines,” one of the game’s broadcasters said, chuckling. His co-host said, “The little youngster was enthralled. He could not move.” As the announcers spoke, a video of Hathaway beaming appeared on the screen, rubbing her son’s arm to assure him that everything was well.

The commentator said of Jack, “He’s not happy about the popcorn spilling, that’s for sure,” and added, “There’s always more popcorn, young man.”  The Princess Diaries actress and her husband Adam Shulman have two baby boys: Jonathan, born in 2016, and Jack, born three years later in 2019. On the cover of NET-A-PORTER’s digital magazine PORTER in November 2023, Hathaway explained why she chose to keep her two children out of the spotlight. “It’s something I feel is not only essential for my health—I’m on a team, it’s my family, and it’s not just about me,” she told the publication at the time. On the cover of NET-A-PORTER’s digital magazine PORTER in November 2023, Hathaway explained why she chose to keep her two children out of the spotlight.

“My family has needs, and one of those needs is for children to be able to define their own lives,” the Devil Wears Prada actor added. “It doesn’t even occur to me to connect the two, save via appreciation that they complement one another so well. But they serve each other via me, not through a location outside of me.” The actress, who has previously stated that she would explore having another kid, has also publicly discussed her reproductive journey. “For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies,” she said on an Instagram selfie announcing her second pregnancy in 2019. “Sending you extra love.”

In a March interview with Vanity Fair, Hathaway revealed why she chose to be so open about her pregnancy, while also revealing that she had a miscarriage in 2015. “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,” Hathaway said in an interview with Vanity Fair in March.
