Hilary Swank has revealed that she is pregnant with her third child at the age of 52.
The Hollywood actress announced the news on Instagram on Wednesday, October 14, confirming that she is expecting her third child with her husband, Philip Schneider. The Boy's Don't Cry star shared a video of her and her family dancing in glow-in-the-dark stick-figure costumes to the song 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet' by Bachman-Turner Overdrive that turned out to be the family's official pregnancy announcement.
This comes after fellow Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway flaunted her blossoming baby bump in a completely sheer dress on the red carpet.

In the clip, one of the four stick figures turns around and reveals a baby-sized stick figure in their belly. She captioned the post, "A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December."
She and Philip, a social venture entrepreneur, welcomed their twins Aya and Ohm in April 2023, five years after they tied the knot at the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, California. The couple met on a blind date in 2015 and married in 2018.
In 2024, the Million Dollar Baby star said that her twins were a "blessing" and spoke openly about the difficulties women experience conceiving in their forties and fifties.

Hilary was 48 years old when she became a mom, using eggs she had frozen a decade earlier.
“I think for me, I feel blessed to be able to have babies, you know, this late in life, but it’s also a blessing because I had so much time to focus on my career, which was another baby of mine,” she previously told Parade.
“And now I can really give focus to them, in a way, and I am in the blessed position of being able to work when I want to work.”

Just one week before the pregnancy announcement, Hilary shared a snap of herself from when she was pregnant with Aya and Ohm to celebrate the passage of AB 1901, a new California law requiring diaper manufacturers to disclose all ingredients in their products.
The actress serves as Chief Innovation Officer and strategic partner of HealthyBaby Co., which advocated for the new law to be passed.
Hilary's Hollywood career spans three decades, earning two Academy Awards for Best Actress for her roles in Boys Don't Cry (1999) and Million Dollar Baby (2004).
Her most recent television appearance was in Season 5 of the hit Showtime series Yellowjackets. In 2024, she starred in the Christian Drama film Ordinary Angels.
She and her husband will welcome their third child in December 2026.
