Anne Hathaway's last words to boyfriend: I’ll always love you. You know that, baby

Anne Hathaway had been staying mostly out of the spotlight until she appeared at the Democratic National Convention last week. Even then, the “Princess Diaries” star managed to maneuver through Denver without having to answer many (if any) questions about her ex-boyfriend, troubled real-estate developer Rafaello Follieri. But the respite might be over.

In the new issue of Vanity Fair, a profile on Follieri, “The Follieri Charade” includes Hathaway’s supposed parting words to him. (“You were the love of my life. I’ll always love you. You know that, baby.”)

The piece goes on to discuss what impressed Hathaway about Follieri, “The trips were dazzling, but Hathaway was apparently more impressed by Follieri’s desire to start a foundation to help poor children in developing countries," the magazine said. “He created the Follieri Foundation and started organizing a campaign to inoculate Latin-American children against hepatitis A.

“My boyfriend is incredible in a lot of ways,” Hathaway told Harper’s Bazaar, “One of the most untouted aphrodisiacs in the world is charity work. Seriously, you want a girl to be impressed, vaccinate some kids, build a house.”

A friend of Hathaway’s says the actress is “nearly numb” at this point, and can’t understand why she continues to be connected to her ex. “She wants it all to be over," the friend says. "She feels like she’s distanced herself from him, and she shouldn’t have to deal with this anymore. She’s not talking out of school, she’s staying focused, she should be rewarded for that.”

Perhaps she will be rewarded, or given a platform for her side of the story, at least. Us Weekly is reporting that Hathaway will be appearing on the cover of Vogue this January. via
