In November 2019, Hannah opened up about why she and her husband keep their family so private.
“[Social media] has never felt natural to me. I know it’s necessary in my industry, and I absolutely have to when it’s part of a contract. But a lot of people post their children and husbands, and for me that will never be the case,” Hannah told Editorialist magazine.
“Both my husband and I have been in a place in our careers where we have to share so much. And we can handle it,” she continued. “But when you love something so much, you want to protect it more than anything in the world. And for me, that’s my relationship, that’s my kids.”
