Some of us got better Easter baskets than others. Mine, well, okay I didn’t get one. But Hillary Swank got one with a baby boy and a baby girl in it! She posted the gorgeous photo above of her with her two new babies and the following caption:
It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. 👼🏼🤍👼🏼
Happy Easter! 🐣🐣 Posting from pure Heaven. 🙌🏽
I love that photo. It’s such a beautiful scene on its own but we also get to see little baby heads. I realize, btw, that the babies were not born on Easter Sunday, they were just introduced to us that day. I’m sure Hilary will tell us what “it wasn’t easy” means when and if she chooses to. As we know, Hilary conceived at the age of 48. She was thrilled that after years of ovarian cysts she was finally able to conceive. Other than some bad morning sickness, her pregnancy was pretty uneventful. She worked out throughout and kept working for as long as she could. I’m so happy for her and her husband Philip Schneider. This is such an exciting time. And even though it’s just the back of their heads, I’m convinced those are adorable bébés. All babes are, right? But what a wonderful moment for Hilary who never really thought she’d have it.
All of Hilary’s friends jumped on her IG to congratulate her. People cited Kate Hudson, Viola Davis, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Mariska Hargitay, Debra Messing, Katie Couric and Sharon Stone. This is when social media is amazing, when you can share your joy with others like this.
Congratulation to the Swank-Schneider family!

What a beautiful photo! She must be thrilled. Congrats to her and her husband.
Congrats Hilary & hubby! I love her in Alaska Daily. Cant wait for the next season to drop 😍😍😍 I guess the twins will be hanging out in Alaska with her during filming 🤗💕👍🏽
I love Alaska daily too. It’s filmed in B.C. tho’ One episode and I believe footage for at least one other episode was actually filmed in Dettah, traditional home of the Yellowknives Dëne, just outside of Yellowknife, NWT. I was visiting home two days after they wrapped in Dettah.
CONGRATS to the new parents!!! That’s amazing!
Twins! A boy and girl! She didn’t get very big with them so rebounding might be easier?
Congrats to Hillary and husband. What a gift.
Side note her house looks amazing, like some lake cabin in Washington state or something. Any one know where this is?
I was guessing the Pacific Northwest, too. Maybe somewhere on the coast, or Puget Sound area. Just the overall vibe of the place, plus the views.
IIRC I think she’s from Washington state so maybe? Congrats to her & her husband! I’ve always had a soft spot for her, she seems so sweet and down to earth.
Her bump was so cute! And the genuine obvious joy in her face? Gorgeous! Congrats to their family!
I am so happy for her and her husband. She’s been through so much to get healthy enough to have her children. She has been beaming through her pregnancy though I can imagine it wasn’t super easy. What a sweet little family.
I love love love when people that are ready and happy finally get what they want.
Congrats to the happy family!
So sweet! Delighted for them 💗💗
I came on just to say I like her new show, Alaska Daily!
Congrats to their family!
I am shedding tears of joy for Hilary Swank. Having had the chance to run into her and exchange a few words, I can confirm the woman is just as genuine, good-mannered, and up for a good laugh as she appears.
Double blessing 💞🐣🐣. So well-deserved!
From a purely scientific standpoint, I’d be fascinated to learn what went into getting and keeping a 48 year old woman pregnant. It’s incredible.
All the congrats to Hilary and her family!
^^ Entertainer, Janet Jackson, was 50 years old when she gave birth to her son, Eissa. Wealth, health, and a personal trainer are apparently boons.

I’ve heard of other women in their late forties and some in their fifties successfully conceiving and giving birth. Often, fertility methods are employed, for sure.
holly hunter had twins at 47 and nancy grace had twins at 48
I am so happy for her. Scientifically I am fascinated too. It had to be fertility. Even if this was a pregnancy in her early thirties to carry twins with recurring cysts would be challenging. I think she is a warrior if she chose fertility treatments. That must have been so hard on her.
It could be natural because at that age range our body is trying to get rid of our eggs which causes more cysts. It is a time where women can have twins or multiples.
She fought hard for a baby. She got two. She beat the medical odds. I am so excited for her. I know other women who are trying to beat the odds she has given the hope.
This is so beautiful. Congratulations to Hilary and her husband on their two little blessings.
i wonder if hilary swank will post about her dad on april 16th ..or say that the twins are gift for him
Im happy for her. If i decided to have a child i will be an older mom. Its nice to see someone suceed.
