Anne Hathaway was every Eagles fan on Sunday! As the football team held the Kansas City Chiefs scoreless for more than half of Super Bowl 2025, the Princess Diaries alum and lifelong Philadelphia supporter was seen in the suites, looking on in delight. Dressed in a white shirt and wearing a green sweater draped on her shoulders, the actress, 42, smiled widely and held her head in her hands in shock. “The Princess of Genovia loves the Birds,” the NFL posted on social media alongside a photo of the star and a video of her cheering on the soon-to-be champs.
Philadelphia went on to dismantle the Chiefs 40-22, ending the franchise’s attempt to make NFL history by winning the title three years in a row. For Hathaway, rooting for the Eagles is deeply personal, reflecting her family’s ties to the region. Her parents, Kate McCauley Hathaway and Gerald “Jerry” Hathaway, met while students at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, and the star’s grandfather, Joe McCauley, was a famed Philadelphia radio personality.
Hathaway was far from the only famous face at Caesars Superdome cheering for the Eagles. Bradley Cooper celebrated on the field following the team’s resounding win. “I’m just one of thousands and thousands that get the opportunity to love this team and live for this team, be a part of Philadelphia,” Cooper said in an interview with Fox Sports while on the field. “I used to come with my dad and now I get to bring my daughter; it’s just a beautiful thing in life.” He added, “It’s a miracle. I’m so blessed to be here and I love this team so much… What a squad.”
Such celebrations not only highlight the excitement of the Eagles’ victory but also show how sports connect people across generations. Hathaway’s enthusiastic response and Cooper’s heartfelt reflections embody the collective joy shared by fans, both famous and everyday, as they revel in this unforgettable moment in sports history.
