Hilary Swank, 52, Pregnant With Baby No. 3 With Philip Schneider

Watch: Hilary Swank, 52, Pregnant With Baby No. 3 With Husband Philip Schneider

Hilary Swank has another million dollar baby on the way.

Three years after welcoming twins—son Ohm and daughter Aya—with husband Philip Schneider, the Oscar winner revealed she’s pregnant with the couple’s third baby, sharing she’s due at the end of the year.

“A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next,” Swank wrote in an Oct. 14 Instagram post, “this one releases in December.”

But the 52-year-old didn’t accompany the news with an ordinary sonogram image or baby bump photo.

Instead, Swank shared a fun video that featured her soon-to-be family of five dancing while wearing glowing stick figure body costumes.

In the clip—which was set to Bachman–Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”—the Ordinary Angels star, her husband and their little ones rocked out to the music in their rainbow-colored outfits, before Swank revealed a light-up stick figure drawn on her growing baby bump.

And while the P.S. I Love You actress been known to keep her family life rather private, she’s been open about her journey to welcoming kids later in life.

“I would have had kids earlier,” she admitted to Women’s Health in a 2025 interview. “I’m not saying I actively waited until 47. But that was a magical time in my life, when it all culminated. It was the right time for a myriad of reasons.”

Ultimately, Swank emphasized that having children in her 40s turned out to be the best decision in more ways than one.

“I personally was happy that I had them later in life,” she told E! News in April, “because now I can give them my full attention in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to earlier in life.”

Although the Million Dollar Baby star jokingly shared that she’s been called “geriatric,” she stressed that what matters is “what you think about yourself.”

And during the ups and downs of motherhood, Swank has had Schneider right by her side.

“It 100 percent takes a village, and I feel so blessed to have a wonderful village,” she told People in 2024. “I have so much awe [for single parents] and kudos to them. I’m absolutely impressed by the ability to do that.”

“That is really something, because my husband and I are both very, very hands-on and equal partners in our parenting,” she added. “I feel really blessed to have that.”
