The Oscar-winning actress, whose pregnancy was revealed in late November, posted a bikini photo on her Instagram account after spotting photographers taking pictures of her during a recent vacation. “Happy 2016 to my beautiful Instafriends!” Hathaway wrote in the picture’s caption, before explaining why she put the image online. “So, posting a bikini pic is a little out of character for me, but just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed. I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy (and be one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter.” Hathaway closed the caption with a smiley face emoticon and a wish for fans and friends to enjoy “love, light and blessings for the year ahead!” Hathaway and her husband, Adam Shulman, [never publicly confirmed the pregnancy reports](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/27/anne-hathaway-pregnant) last year.

So that their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice. But also, so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too. Reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned. And in doing so. Be a more true, and complete version of themselves. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/"},"headline":"Anne Hathaway Calls Out Paparazzi by Posting Her Own Pregnant Bikini Photo","datePublished":"2016-01-04T17:00:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:46.374Z","description":"\"Should at least be an image that makes me happy\"","url":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Pregnancy","Instagram","celebrity","anne hathaway"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/","name":"Anne Hathaway Calls Out Paparazzi by Posting Her Own Pregnant Bikini Photo"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Emma Watson - He For She - Speech","description":"Emma Watson -He For She- Speech","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0clamGjK/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-22T11:27:02.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0clamGjK.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/","duration":"PT23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4166206/anne-hathaway-instagram-paparazzi/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
