Summary

  • She and Philip Schneider welcomed twins in 2023.
  • The actor said she is elated about the new pregnancy.

The announcement

Hilary Swank has confirmed that she is expecting her third child at age 52. The actor shared the news in an interview published by People, and CBS News separately reported the announcement. Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, are already parents to twins Aya and Ohm, who were born in 2023 after the couple announced that pregnancy the previous year. [1] [2]

Her family life

Swank has spoken about balancing work with raising the twins and about becoming a parent later than she once expected. She described herself as elated about expanding the family. The announcement is personal rather than promotional, and the couple has generally limited how much of their children’s daily life appears publicly while still sharing major milestones. [1] [2]

A career spanning three decades

Swank is a two-time Academy Award winner for “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby.” Her career also includes “Freedom Writers,” “The Homesman” and the television series “Alaska Daily.” The pregnancy announcement prompted renewed interest in her age and career, but neither changes the central fact that she has continued working while building a young family with Schneider.

What has and has not been disclosed

The reports confirm the pregnancy and that the child will be the couple’s third. They do not provide a full medical timeline, and pregnancy details beyond what Swank has chosen to share remain private. Coverage should avoid treating age as a diagnosis or speculating about care. The confirmed update is that Swank says she is expecting and is happy about the family milestone. [1] [2]
