Anne Hathaway and her son Jack were caught off guard while sitting courtside at a New York Knicks Game.
Hathaway, 42, sported chic sunglasses, a denim top with a sparkly collar and a regal updo as she sat next to Jack, who was born in November 2019, as the Knicks battled the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, November 13. Jack wore a Knicks jersey in honor of his hometown team, who ultimately lost to the Bulls, 124 to 123.
During the televised matchup, Knicks player Ogugua “OG” Anunoby lost control of the ball, and as he chased after it, he leaped over a barrier and stumbled into Hathaway. Her popcorn went flying and Jack looked astonished. Anunoby, 27, grinned as he got back on the court, and Hathaway was smiling as well. Everyone emerged unscathed, per video footage found online.
“Anunoby’s scaring those along the sidelines,” a TV commentator joked, adding of Jack, “He’s not happy about the popcorn being spilled, that’s for sure. There’s always more popcorn, young man.”
The commentator’s co-host remarked, “The lil kid was mesmerized. He couldn’t move.”
Following the run-in, Hathaway was seen comforting Jack by rubbing his back.

During an interview with WSJ. Magazine published in March 2022, Hathaway said that she felt “fully landed and fully here” after becoming a parent.
