Hilary Swank Announces Third Pregnancy on Instagram
The two-time Academy Award winner made the announcement through a post on her Instagram profile, which has more than 1.6 million followers. In the video accompanying the post, four fluorescent figures dance in the darkness—two children and two adults—with one figure appearing pregnant. Swank captioned the post, “A lot of people have asked me what my next project is; this one launches in December,” adding a wink and an angel emoji.
Hundreds of followers offered congratulations, with many women praising her as an inspiration for mothers having children past the age of 40. Swank previously gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl named Ohm and Aya, in April 2023, three months before turning 49. Her initial pregnancy announcement in October 2022 was made during an appearance on the United States television program Good Morning America shortly after entering her second trimester. For this third pregnancy, the actress bypassed television appearances, sharing the news directly via social media while in the final stretch of gestation with just two months remaining before delivery.
Family Life and Advocacy Work in California
Swank married entrepreneur Philip Schneider in August 2018 in a forest near Carmel, California, following a two-year relationship. Since welcoming her twins three years ago, the actress has engaged in family advocacy within California. She supported the approval of the AB1901 bill, which requires diaper manufacturers to list every ingredient on their packaging. Swank has partnered with sustainable diaper companies and served as a spokesperson for parent advocacy groups in the state.
The actress joins a growing group of public figures having children past the age of 40. In an interview with SModa, Chloë Sevigny stated that having her first child at age 45 made complete sense. Actresses Susan Sarandon and Halle Berry both had children at 47, while in Spain, Anne Igartiburu had twins at 48. Actress Brigitte Nielsen gave birth to her fifth child at age 55. Sienna Miller, who gave birth to her first child in 2012, welcomed two younger children in early 2024 and in the spring of 2026 at age 44. In a recent interview with Glamour, Miller described pregnancy in her forties as a positive experience, noting that she had frozen eggs in her late thirties as an existential relief though she ultimately conceived naturally.
