At 52, Hilary Swank announces she’s pregnant with her third child, three years after twins

Family shares pregnancy news

Swank and her family announced the pregnancy in a social media video. They danced with glowsticks taped to their bodies before the video showed her baby bump. The caption said many people had asked about her next project and added that it would be released in December. The post did not provide further details about the project or the pregnancy.

Swank, known for “Million Dollar Baby,” gave birth to twins three years ago. Her daughter Aya and son Ohm are children with her husband, Philip Schneider, who is also 52.

Doctor outlines medical concerns

Phillips said a uterus may still carry a pregnancy through IVF even when the ovaries have begun to become less active. She also said Swank is probably being seen by a high-risk team. Phillips listed increased risks for mothers, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, diabetes and C-section.

Swank on motherhood later

Two years ago, after the twins’ birth, Swank spoke with “CBS Sunday Morning” about becoming a parent later in life. She said she had first been able to focus deeply on her acting career. Swank said that being older gave her the chance to devote herself to acting before turning deeply toward her dream of motherhood.
