Swank revealed she was pregnant in October 2022 during an interview with Good Morning America.

“This is something that I’ve been wanting for a long time, and my next thing is I’m gonna be a mom,” she said. “And not just of one, but of two. I can’t believe it.”

According to the Oscar-winning actress, twins run in the couple’s family.

During an appearance on Live! with Kelly and Ryan, she shared that not only was her grandmother a twin, but so was her husband’s grandmother.

Since sharing she and her husband were expecting, the actress has been letting fans in on her pregnancy journey by posting updates on social media.

In January she compared women to superheroes for their ability to experience pregnancy.

“What our bodies do? I have such, like, a whole newfound respect. I mean, I love women, I’ve always loved women, but now, I’m like, ‘Wow, we can do this!'”

Congratulations, Hilary and Philip! May god bless your little bundles of joy.
