Anne Hathaway’s decision to announce her pregnancy on her own terms
During the recent press tour for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’, Hathaway made a deliberate choice regarding how and when to share news of her pregnancy. Rather than allowing the announcement to overshadow the film’s promotion, she opted to control the narrative around her personal news.
