Anne Hathaway reveals that she’s celebrating five years of sobriety after giving up booze once she started a family with husband Adam Shulman

Anne Hathaway is celebrating a major milestone in her sobriety journey.

The 41-year-old actress shared in a new profile in the New York Times that she was marking five years without alcohol.

She gushed that the accomplishment felt like a ‘milestone’ to her, and she added that being ‘forty feels like a gift.’

The Princess Diaries star — who teased a third film in the series in the same interview —  shared her updated years after revealing years earlier that she hoped to stay away from booze until her first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 turned 18.

In January of 2019, she appeared on the since-ended Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat about how expanding her family with her husband Adam Shulman had made her want to get sober.

‘I’m gonna stop drinking while my son’s living in my house,’ she said, clarifying that she wanted to wait until Jonathan — who was two months shy of turning three at the time — was 18.

‘I don’t totally love the way I [drink] and he’s getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the mornings…,’ she continued.

Anne said that one particularly bad day after a night of drinking convinced her to swear off the stuff.

‘I did one school run one day where I dropped him off at school. I wasn’t driving, but I was hungover and that was enough for me,’ she admitted. ‘I didn’t love that one.’

Her decision to focus on sobriety became even more important later that year, when her and Adam’s second son, Jack, now four, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in November.

While giving an update to the Times in her new profile, Anne sounded somewhat conflicted about sharing her good news.

‘There are so many other things I identify as milestones. I don’t normally talk about it, but I am over five years sober,’ she shared, before taking a more optimistic tone.

‘That feels like a milestone to me. Forty feels like a gift,’ she continued.

The Brokeback Mountain actress added that she was hesitant to admit that she was in ‘middle age,’ but only because she was aware of how life can take unexpected turns.

‘The fact of the matter is I hesitate at calling things “middle age” simply because I can be a semantic stickler and I could get hit by a car later today,’ she said on a darker note. ‘We don’t know if this is middle age.

‘We don’t know anything,’ she corrected herself.

Anne’s current domestic bliss comes after she married Adam Shulman, a businessman who also occasionally acts, in 2012. ‘

Although she credited their two sons with giving her the motivation to get sober, Anne and her husband tend to be particularly private about their boys.

Her relationship with Adam was a welcome change from a previous stress-filled relationship with Raffaello Follieri, an Italian real estate developer.

The two began dating in 2004, but the façade that Follieri had created around them shattered in 2008, when he was arrested for misappropriating funds from former President Bill Clinton and billionaire Ronald Burkle that were expected to be used to purchase properties that the Roman Catholic Church had decided to sell off.

Folliere was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and subsequently arrested.

Anne was drawn into the controversy, as the FBI raided their home and took her private journals as potential evidence, though she was never charged with a crime or accused of any wrongdoing in the matter.

Follieri pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
