Hilary Swank Announces Third Pregnancy

Hilary Swank announced on Instagram on October 14 that she is expecting a third child with her husband, Philip Schneider. The 52-year-old actor shared a video featuring the couple and their three-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm, dancing with glow sticks arranged to outline a baby on her belly. Swank captioned the video by referring to a project she was working on that “releases in December.” Reports interpreted the remark as a hint that the baby is due that month, though the caption did not explicitly state a due date. The announcement was presented through the Instagram post; the reports describe that single post rather than separate confirmation of the pregnancy. The couple welcomed their twins, a girl and a boy, in April 2023. Swank announced that pregnancy in October 2022, saying she was expecting two children. She and Schneider married in 2018. Swank has previously spoken about becoming a parent later in life. In an interview cited in reports about the announcement, she said that having children earlier might have made her a different parent, and that her established career allowed her to give them attention.
