Hilary Swank announced she is expecting her third child with Philip Schneider, sharing a family glow-stick video and a December due date.

Hilary Swank is expecting her third child with husband Philip Schneider. The 52-year-old actor revealed the pregnancy on October 14 through a playful family video and indicated that the baby is due in December.

In the clip, Swank, Schneider and their 3-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm, dance in the dark while wearing glowing stick-figure outlines. Swank then turns to reveal a smaller illuminated figure across her baby bump. She framed the announcement as the answer to questions about her next “project,” giving the news a light, distinctly cinematic setup.

Hilary Swank turns a family moment into an announcement

The video offered a rare look at a household Swank generally keeps away from constant public attention. Rather than sharing a traditional portrait or sonogram, the family participated together, making Aya and Ohm part of the reveal that they will soon have a younger sibling.

Swank and Schneider welcomed the twins in April 2023, when the two-time Oscar winner was 48. She had announced that pregnancy during a television appearance in October 2022 and later shared the twins’ names after their birth. The couple married in California in 2018.

The actor has spoken openly about becoming a parent later in life without presenting her own path as a universal model. In a 2025 interview, she said the timing felt right for several personal reasons. She has also described herself and Schneider as hands-on, equal partners in raising their children.

A December arrival for the family of five

The new announcement confirms a due month but leaves several details private, including whether the couple plans to share the baby’s sex before the birth. For now, the most concrete update is the family’s December timeline.

Swank’s film career has included two Academy Award-winning performances, in Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby, but her social post kept the focus firmly on home. By turning the reveal into a coordinated glow-stick dance, she made the announcement celebratory without offering more personal information than the family chose to disclose.
