Anne Hathaway Praises Husband Adam Shulman for ‘Holding It Down’ at Home So She Can ‘Hustle’ in Hollywood

"The Devil Wears Prada" star Anne Hathaway has heaped praise on her husband, Adam Shulman, crediting him for "stepping up" and overseeing their home life so she can focus on her movie career.

Hathaway, 43, who has just been named as People's World's Most Beautiful Cover Star, opened up to the outlet about her "hustle" in Hollywood—and the quiet ways in which her 43-year-old spouse has helped her to achieve her on-screen success.

The actress, who shares two children—Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6—with her husband, described Shulman as her "dream partner," revealing how he helps to keep things calm at home amid her "perpetual hustle."

"I’m having my own little party right now, imagining how hard my husband would laugh at that question," she replied when asked what Shulman, whom she wed in 2012, does to support her.

"He supports me completely," she continued, noting that he has shown up for her more than ever in the last year, while she has been busy shooting and then promoting the hotly anticipated "Devil Wears Prada" sequel with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.

"This year in particular was unusual," she went on. "He and I both know that it’s probably never going to happen like this again. And the way he stepped up, I mean, in every possible way, he’s the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met."

The actress, whose highly anticipated film "The Devil Wears Prada 2," hits theaters May 1, noted that she is "so lucky," adding that this year truly showed her how important his support was to her.

"I’m so lucky that he’s my partner that I spend my life with. If I didn’t know that before this past year, I think I really know it now because with absolutely everything he’s just, he’s on it. He holds it down. I hope that doesn’t sound like I’m bragging, but he’s a dream partner to me," she explained.

"It’s one thing to have dreams. It’s another thing to have somebody who helps you achieve them. I absolutely would not be able to have achieved what I’ve done without my husband."

When she's not busy shooting her latest project, Hathaway escapes from the bright lights of Hollywood at the family's stunning Ojai, CA, home, which she and Shulman purchased for $3.6 million in 2014, two years after their wedding.

According to Architectural Digest, the property has a rich Hollywood history, having previously been owned by designer Yves Saint Laurent and, later, director Wes Anderson.

The couple, who spent several years renovating the property after purchasing it, told the outlet that it was love at first sight when they first viewed the home—despite realizing that the dwelling needed several updates.

"It was the ideal combination of romance and great design," Hathaway said. "Our initial instinct was that this was going to be a very important place in our lives. I could really see raising a family here."

According to a previous listing, the home featured four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and offered just over 3,400 square feet of living space when the couple bought it, however records show that they also purchased a second plot of land next to the dwelling, which would have allowed for plenty of expansion.

In the years since they bought the home, Hathaway's career has continued to go from strength to strength and she now has a very varied portfolio of on-screen projects under her belt.

Despite being busy running on and off set, Hathaway revealed to People she still takes time to do the things she loves.

"I still get the paper delivered every day, and I love sitting down with it. And I’d cuddle with our puppy—we just got a puppy. And I’d probably take time to call the people I love because I’m always zipping from one thing to another," she revealed.

"I’d love to have breakfast with a friend. I’d love to go for a walk, maybe do a little window-shopping, maybe go to a museum. I’m very meandering on my days off."

And, one of her favorite parts of her days off is getting to spend it with her sons, revealing that being a boy mom has heavily influenced her fashion.

"I’m a tomboy! I love that being a boy mom has really informed my fashion. I have to always be able to go from a serious business meeting to, like, a basketball court. You have to be able to play pickup basketball at any point, in any outfit. So [I tell myself]: When you get dressed in the morning, dress wisely because you 100% are going to have a projectile thrown at you probably by the end of breakfast," she said.

Speaking about the sequel to the hit movie "The Devil Wears Prada," Hathaway said reuniting with her co-stars Streep, Blunt, and Stanley Tucci was "just beautiful" and "joyful."

Further in the interview, she noted that she spent far too long being "hard" on herself at the beginning of her career, adding, "When I started out, I thought I’d be a better artist if I was really hard on myself, and then turning 40, I just kind of found a different gear, and I was no longer interested in living an awkward life. I was just interested in getting to the fun part.”

She added, "I loved making the first. I know I was stressed and anxious and all those things, but it’s one of the most hilarious experiences ever because of the people I was with."

Despite now being one of Hollywood's most loved stars, Hathaway confessed that she struggled to find her footing in the industry for "decades."

"For decades—decades. I think I had the longest unbroken awkward phase in Hollywood. Actually, I think mine extended until my late 30s," she said.

Hathaway went on to concede that a lot of that was likely due to her "normal awkward phase" as a teen, admitting that she struggled to find a place where she truly felt "comfortable."
