Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank announced the birth of her twins with husband Philip Schneider. The 48-year-old Swank posted a beautiful photo on Instagram with herself and the twins, along with the caption: "It wasn't easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. Happy Easter! Posting from pure Heaven."
The newborns (whose names have yet to be revealed) are the first children for Swank and Schneider, who tied the knot in 2018. Swank first announced her pregnancy in October while speaking about her upcoming projects on Good Morning America, revealing that she was looking forward to motherhood as her "next thing ...And not just of one, but of two. I can't believe it."
According to Swank, the twins original due date was the same date as her late father Stephen Michael Swank's birthday, who passed away in October 2021 at the age of 73. Swank was her late fathers caretaker for many years before his death, and wrote after his passing: "I had a rather unique relationship with him as I was his sole caretaker after a lung transplant seven years ago. I grew incredibly close to him during this time, deepening our relationship and savoring every moment we had together. He will always remain one of my most favorite persons and not a day goes by that I don't miss him."
