A Major Career Honor

Hathaway joined the 2026 class of Disney Legends. Other big names also received the honor.

The award honors Hathaway’s work with Disney. She has played several popular roles for the company.

She returned as Mia in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004.

Later, Hathaway played the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. She also appeared in Alice Through the Looking Glass.

The Disney Legends honor adds another major achievement to Hathaway’s career.

Hathaway’s Sons Join Her

Jonathan and Jack rarely attend events with their parents.

This time, the boys joined Hathaway and Shulman at the Disney event.

The family also dressed for the occasion. Hathaway wore a white dress with a floral design.

The dress showed her growing baby bump.

Jonathan and Jack wore cream-colored suits. Meanwhile, Shulman wore a blue suit.

Hathaway’s parents also attended the ceremony. They joined the family during the celebration.

Their presence added a warm family moment to the event.

Her Sons See Fame Differently

Disney Legend Status Does Not Impress Them

Hathaway joked that her new Disney title does not impress her sons.

She told PEOPLE that her fame changes when she gets home.

To her children, she is simply their mother.

They ask her for snacks and help with their backpacks. They also want to play football.

The boys were especially excited to meet Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

That moment offered a fun look at Hathaway’s family life.
