Who is Adam Shulman?

Adam Shulman is an actor, jewelry designer, and producer, but perhaps best known for his marriage to Anne Hathaway, the popular Oscar-winning actress. He was born under the Zodiac sign Taurus on 2 April 1981, in New York City, USA – Adam holds American nationality, and as of early 2021, he’s 39 years old.

Early life, Family and Education

Adam was born to Jacqueline Banks and Mark Shulman, their only child.  There is not much information about his early life and family, except that it’s known that he developed an interest in filmography at a young age. After he matriculated, he enrolled at Brown University in Rhode Island, and after obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Theatre, he attended several programs at Tisch School and the Eugene O’Neill National Theater Institute.

Acting Career

Even though Adam is maybe best recognized as Hathaway’s husband, he has made an acting career of his own.  As an individual interested in filmmaking, Adam was eager to learn the loops of the acting industry. In 2000 he took an apprenticeship at Williamstown Theater Festival to further polish his acting and producing skills.

His acting career began in 2005 as Paul O’Bannon in the drama series “American Dreams”.  The following year, he landed a minor role in the political drama “The West Wing”, then in 2008 he appeared in the short comedy movie “The Good Lunch”. One of his most notable roles was in the American made-for-television comedy movie called” The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning” in 2010.

His next and last role came in 2015, in the American musical comedy-drama movie “Ricki and the Flash”, directed by Jonathan Demme and starring the iconic actress Meryl Streep. In the same year, he worked as a producer alongside Anna Hathaway on two projects, “Song One” and “The Shower” in 2016.

He is a Jewelry designer and businessman

Quite a versatile person, Adam did not limit himself to acting and filmmaking. Today he makes a living as a jewelry designer. In 2011 Adam and Heidi Nahser Fink launched a brand called “James Banks Design”, featuring handmade pieces created in their studio in Northern California, primarily from recycled metal with unique pendants and precious stones, including butterflies, hanging light bulbs, feathers, etc. An interesting detail about the engagement ring Adam proposed to Anne with- he helped create it.

His marriage to Anne Hathaway

Anne and Adam reportedly met through mutual friends in 2008 at the Palms Springs Festival. At the time, Anne was going through a rough period following the imprisonment of her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, who was charged with fraud. The public breakup with the Italian businessman left her unhinged and questioning some essential notions of every relationship-trust. A couple of weeks after her split with Raffaello, she told The Independent: “The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you, if you don’t let it get the best of you.”

Regarding her relationship with Adam, in her interview with David Letterman she said that it was an unexpected romance, mainly because she was in a dark place after the break-up and didn’t think she would date anytime soon.

Anne is always quick to point out that the timing of their first meeting was terrible, but Adam sparked such strong feelings in her that she decided to give it a shot. Anne said: “The goal is to find someone you can be yourself around, who makes you laugh, who challenges you in a good way, and where you just spark off each other.”

Adam and Anne dated for a couple of years before announcing their engagement in November 2011. The happy couple tied the knot on the California coast on 29 September 2012 in an extraordinary ceremony accompanied by family members and friends.  After four years of marriage, they welcomed their first child together- Jonathan Rosebanks on 24 March 2016.  Both of them were thrilled to become parents, Anne said: “Adam has been really helpful and is so excited about the baby”.

In July 2019, Anne announced her second pregnancy on Instagram with the captions, “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.” The popular actress has spoken about her infertility issues before, and doesn’t shy away from mentioning it publicly. In her opinion, it is nothing to be ashamed of, and sharing the experience can help others. They welcomed their second child sometime in late 2019, and named him Jack.
