Sending you extra love,\u201d she wrote on Instagram when she revealed her second pregnancy. <\/p>\n<p>She later addressed her candor about her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/anne-hathaway-pregnancy-struggle-miscarriage-b2518417.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">challenging journey to motherhood<\/a> in a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the pain I felt while trying to get pregnant, it would\u2019ve felt disingenuous to post something all the way happy when I know the story is much more nuanced than that for everyone,\u201d Hathaway said. <\/p>\n<p>In 2015, when she was starring in a six-week run of the off-Broadway one-woman show Grounded, she suffered a miscarriage. The performance required her to act out a birth scene every night, and the pressure to pretend this didn\u2019t affect her became too much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time it didn\u2019t work out for me. I was doing a play and I had to give birth onstage every night,\u201d she confessed. \u201cIt was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine. I had to keep it real otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when it did go well for me, having been on the other side of it \u2014 where you have to have the grace to be happy for someone \u2014 I wanted to let my sisters know: \u2018You don\u2019t have to always be graceful. I see you and I\u2019ve been you,\u2019\u201d Hathaway added. \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to want something so much and to wonder if you\u2019re doing something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-648435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
