Anne Hathaway's mystery boyfriend has finally been identified.

The actress admitted she was dating someone last month but refused to give any details. However, it has now been revealed she is romancing American actor Adam Shulman.

Adam confirmed he is in a relationship with Anne at a screening for her new movie "Rachel Getting Married", saying: "We met through mutual friends. I came to support Anne. We've never been to New Orleans before - it's our first time."

Anne's reluctance to talk about her budding romance is said to be partly down to the fact Adam, 27, was already in relationship when they met.

Friends of Anne, 25, are delighted she has finally found happiness following the demise of her relationship with Raffaello Follieri, who was recently sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.

One said: "Adam is everything Raffaello wasn't. He's sensitive and kind to a fault. I think Anne may have found a kindred spirit."

Last month, Anne admitted she was excited about her new relationship, saying: "This guy I know in Los Angeles is kind of doing it for me right now. You know when you don't know someone very well… you just meet them and you're like, 'Wow, you really have it going on'."
