The actress, pregnant with her third child, left a Manhattan club with Adam Shulman on September 29, just before the film hits theatres on Oct 2.
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman emerged from a Manhattan venue on the night of September 29, hand‑in‑hand, after the city premiere of the upcoming thriller Verity. The couple’s low‑key exit was captured by photographers outside the club, confirming the actress’s presence in New York while the film rolled out on the East Coast.
The timing is notable. Hathaway, who is expecting her third child, stayed put in the United States while her co‑stars Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett made the trip to London for the same film’s overseas launch. The pregnancy kept her from hopping on a transatlantic flight, but it didn’t stop her from doing the usual press circuit in the city that never sleeps.
Verity, slated for a wide theatrical release on October 2, adapts Colleen Hoover’s 2018 bestseller of the same name. The story follows Lowen Ashleigh, played by Johnson, a struggling writer hired by Jeremy Crawford – portrayed by Hartnett – to finish a beloved series originally penned by his wife, Verity, embodied by Hathaway herself. A mysterious accident leaves Verity unable to complete the saga, and while staying at the Crawford home, Lowen discovers an unpublished manuscript that reveals unsettling family secrets.
While the plot details have been circulating in trade circles, the couple’s public appearance added a personal layer to the buzz. Hathaway and Shulman, married since 2012, are already parents to sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. The newborn on the way will be their third. Their brief stroll through the club’s entrance was a reminder that even as the actress promotes a new project, she’s navigating the same life milestones as any other expectant mother.
Fans on social media cheered the sight, flooding Instagram and Twitter with supportive messages. Many highlighted the actress’s glow, while others simply expressed excitement for the film’s October debut. The contrast between the low‑key New York night and the glitzy London affair underscored the dual‑front promotion strategy for Verity – a domestic push anchored by Hathaway’s presence, and an international splash led by Johnson and Hartnett.
With the release date now a week away, the next big move will be the film’s opening weekend box‑office performance. Early ticket sales have been modest but steady, and the buzz generated by the star‑studded premieres may give the adaptation the lift it needs against a crowded fall slate.
For now, the picture is clear: Hathaway’s night out with Adam Shulman was a sweet, ordinary moment amid the whirlwind of a high‑profile film launch, and it sets the stage for Verity’s arrival on screens across the country on October 2.
