Anne Hathaway isn’t too cool for shul, man.

In fact, the actress has announced plans to marry longtime boyfriend Adam Shulman, a decision reported via a representative to People magazine.

Hathaway’s engagement follows a three-year relationship with Shulman, an actor whose credits include a recurring role on “The West Wing.” A nice Jewish boy may have been particularly appealing to Hathaway after her previous relationship, which ended in imprisonment for her con man ex-boyfriend.

There’s no word yet on what kind of ceremony Hathaway and Shulman will organize, or whether either will convert before the wedding.

Regardless, the Shmooze looks forward to seeing Hathaway play against type in next summer’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” Should she be Jewish by then, she’ll certainly look good in her Katz-suit.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
