Anne Hathaway's latest Verity appearance has prompted more jokes from some Reddit commenters that the actress has been pregnant 'forever' — even though she announced her third pregnancy only three months ago.

The 43-year-old actress stepped out in New York on 18 September for a Verity press event, joining co-stars Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett as the cast promoted the psychological thriller ahead of its 2 October cinema release.

The appearance was the latest in a busy run of public engagements for Hathaway, who has continued attending premieres, fashion events and promotional appearances during her pregnancy.

The steady stream of photographs has prompted some social-media users to joke that Hathaway's pregnancy has seemed to stretch on far longer than the calendar suggests.

Anne Hathaway's Busy Press Schedule Fuels The Joke

Hathaway announced on 19 June that she and husband Adam Shulman were expecting their third child, sharing a video on Instagram in which she revealed her baby bump.

The couple, who married in 2012, already have two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, six.

Since the announcement, Hathaway has continued making public appearances, including promotion for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and the August premiere of The End of Oak Street.

She also attended the 2026 Disney Legends ceremony at D23, where she was honoured as a Disney Legend, as well as events connected to New York Fashion Week before turning her attention to Verity.

That succession of appearances has helped fuel the online joke about her seemingly never-ending pregnancy.

One Reddit commenter reacting to photographs from the Verity press event wrote: 'I wonder how far along she is?? It feels like she's been pregnant and glowing for years, the poor thing.'

Another joked: 'Like, c'mon Anne. Have the baby or don't, but this is getting ridiculous.'

The comments appear to be exaggerated jokes about Hathaway's busy schedule rather than claims that her pregnancy has lasted an unusually long time.

Hathaway announced her pregnancy on June 19 and was photographed at the Verity event on September 18 — roughly three months later.

Her frequent appearances prompt fresh jokes about the ‘never-ending’ pregnancy

The 'Never-Ending' Joke Behind Her 2026 Schedule

Hathaway's visibility during her pregnancy has coincided with a busy professional calendar.

Alongside Verity, she has had The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street in the spotlight this year, while The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mother Mary are also part of her 2026 film slate.

Her continued appearances have given audiences repeated glimpses of her baby bump across several months, prompting some social-media users to joke that the maternity chapter has been going on much longer than it actually has.

Her maternity fashion has also kept her in the spotlight.

In September, Hathaway attended Bulgari's Serpenti Infinito event in a lilac Alexander McQueen gown before continuing her Verity promotional appearances.

The attention has not always been entirely playful.

In August, Vogue reported on social-media speculation surrounding Hathaway's appearance at The End of Oak Street, including questions from some users about whether her baby bump was real.

Hathaway responded to the speculation with the words: 'Fake hair, real bump.'

But the latest Reddit reaction is focused on something rather different: Hathaway simply seems to be everywhere.

With Verity due in cinemas on October 2, the actress will continue to promote the film during her pregnancy — giving some social-media users plenty of opportunities to joke that her press tour, rather than her pregnancy, is the thing that seems never-ending.
