Hilary Swank prepares for third pregnancy at 52

Hilary Swank announced her third pregnancy, four years after becoming a mother at 48.

The 52-year-old Million Dollar Baby star shared the news on Instagram. The video showed her family dancing with glow sticks.

Swank showed her baby bump with the caption 'this one releases in December.' Swank and her husband Philip Schneider have three-year-old twins.

The twins' names are Aya and Ohm. They were born in April 2023.

Becoming a mother in her late forties gave Swank more patience. It also gave her more self-awareness than she would have had earlier in her career.

On The Tonight Show, she described motherhood as 'the most extraordinary thing in the world.' But she said it is 'more exhausting' than she expected.
