At the time, the actress shared her joy on social media, writing: “It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. Happy Easter!”
The actress has previously spoken openly about becoming a mother later in life. In an interview with People Magazine, Hilary Swank explained that having children when she did allowed her to give them more of her time and attention.
“It just worked out that I had babies this much later in life,” the Hollywoo star said. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want them earlier. There were a lot of things that kept that from happening, and so I can really take time to be with them.”
She added, “I feel like I get a lot of Mother’s Days other than actual Mother’s Day because of being able to be so present with them.”

Hilary Swank also reflected on how her acting career gave her greater freedom to focus on her family.
“I feel like I have that more kind of ability to really give them my attention in a way that I wouldn’t have as much at that point because it would’ve been pulled between the two in a very distinct way,” Swank added. “In my career being so established, I have the ability to kind of step in and step out when I choose, and that is just such a blessing.”
Hilary Swank is best known for her award-winning performances in Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for both films.
