Hilary Swank, 52, is pregnant with her third child: 'This one releases in December'
Actress Hilary Swank has announced she is pregnant with her third child at age 52. The news highlights the growing trend of advanced maternal age pregnancies and Swank's ongoing advocacy for transparency in prenatal product ingredients.
Why it matters
Swank's announcement contributes to the ongoing public conversation regarding reproductive choices and the health of mothers over 50.
The two-time Oscar winner is already mom to two children with her husband, Philip Schneider. After freezing her eggs at age 37, she welcomed twins Aya and Ohm in 2023 when she was 48.
Swank dropped the news on Wednesday with a light-hearted Instagram video showing her family dancing in a dark room with glow sticks on their bodies to make them look like stick figures. In the video, Swank turns around to reveal a tiny glow-stick-figure in a circle on her belly.
"A lot of people have been asking what project I'm doing next," she wrote in the caption. "This one releases in December," she added, with an emoji of a baby angel, suggesting this is when the baby is due.
