Anne Hathaway is expecting.
The Oscar-winning actress, 36, announced on Instagram on Thursday that she is pregnant with her second child, posing in a photo with a hand on her baby bump.
“It’s not for a movie … #2” she captioned the picture.
Perhaps familiar with the complicated emotions a pregnancy announcement can bring up for women who have recently miscarried or are struggling with infertility, she added:
“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.”
Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman already have a son; Jonathan, three.
Her thoughtful pregnancy announcement comes a day after Whitney Port opened up about suffering a miscarriage.
In an Instagram post, the 34-year-old articulated the heartbreaking and complicated experience of losing a pregnancy that affects many women; in Australia, one in four women under 35 will have a miscarriage.
“This is really hard for me to write,” Port began.
“Two weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. The amount of various emotions I felt in the past couple weeks have been extreme … from shock to sadness to relief, which then led to guilt for feeling that relief. My identity has been shaken in regards to who as a mom and human being.”
The Hills: New Beginnings star said she wanted to open about her experience to help other women who are struggling with the grief of miscarriage.
“I’m currently in the process of learning to accept that my feelings are valid no matter what they are. Whether or not people feel the same way as me or not. They are my personal emotions that are the result from my own journey.”
