Hilary Swank is pregnant with her third child with husband Philip Schneider. The actress announced the news on October 14 through a glow-stick family video featuring the couple and their three-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm.
The clip showed the family dancing in the dark, with a small baby shape outlined in lights over Swank’s belly, according to ABC News and Page Six. Her caption gave the announcement a movie-release joke: “A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December.”
Hilary Swank’s pregnancy announcement hints at December
ABC News describes the December reference as an apparent hint at her due date. Swank did not give a specific day in the caption quoted by the outlets. The announcement also did not reveal the baby’s name or sex.
At 52, the Million Dollar Baby star is preparing to become a mother of three. Her new video brings Aya and Ohm into the reveal, using the family’s illuminated outlines rather than a conventional announcement photograph.
Aya and Ohm will be older siblings
Swank and Schneider married in 2018. They welcomed their twins in April 2023, when Swank was 48. She had first announced that pregnancy during an appearance on Good Morning America in October 2022.
When the twins arrived, she wrote, “It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it,” ABC News recalls. The latest announcement adds a new chapter to the family’s story without sharing medical details or further birth plans.
