Hilary Swank is expecting her second child!
The Oscar winner’s agent confirmed that she is pregnant and expecting twins with her husband, Philip Schneider.
Swank and Schneider have been married for four years, having married in a private ceremony in Carmel, California. It was a “dream come true,” she stated at the time. They met on a blind date in 2016 and married a year and a half later.
Earlier, the actor married Chad Lowe in 1997, but the couple split in 2007 after ten years of marriage.

Swank is now appearing as Eileen Fitzgerald in the new TV drama “Alaska Daily.” She plays an investigative reporter who relocates to Anchorage, Alaska, from New York City.
The “Million Dollar Baby” star took a sabbatical from acting in 2015 to care for her dad, former Sgt. Stephen Michael Swank, who had a lung transplant. In January of this year, she announced that her dad died in October 2021.
There have been a handful of great ventures, but ultimately, there is nothing she wants to do more than be with her father in his time of need. One can’t go back in time, in March 2018, she stated on an episode of “The Late Show.”
That same year, she expressed that she had “passed on” work offers, adding, what one is really here for is one’s family, right?
Indeed it’s wonderful news. Congratulations to the lovely couple.
