Watch: Hilary Swank Shares Twins’ Million Dollar Reaction to Her Pregnancy
Hilary Swank’s twins haven’t made a list but are certainly checking twice to make sure their sibling hasn’t arrived yet.
A week after the Gift actress announced she and husband Philip Schneider are expecting their third baby around Christmas, she revealed how their 3-year-old twins—son Ohm and daughter Aya—reacted to the exciting news.
“My daughter is not a very like ‘aww,’ kind of girl,” Swank shared on the Oct. 22 episode of the Question Everything podcast. “She likes to growl and be like, ‘grr!’ She really gets into her body. But I told her, and she went, ‘Aww, in there?’”
“She was so excited,” she continued to host Danielle Robay, “and obviously my son is too.”
So, they can’t help but keep tabs on their million dollar baby sibling.
“They asked when the baby’s coming,” Swank explained. “And every time I leave the house, they come back and they’re like, ‘Is the baby here?’ And I finally said, ‘Well, baby’s coming at Christmas time. We are in fall, and then Christmas time comes after.’”
That has led to an important follow-up, she conceded, “But they wake up every morning going, ‘Is it Christmas time yet?”
And Swank’s little ones are so thrilled to become a big brother and sister, they aren’t exactly keeping iron-jawed about their new family member.
“They see babies at restaurants,” she explained, “and they go up to the baby and they’re like, ‘Can I tell you something? My mama has a baby in her belly and she’s due at Christmas time.’”
Beyond spreading the news far and wide, Swank is keeping her kids involved throughout the journey. P.S., you’ll love how.
Ohm and Aya were front and center in Swank’s pregnancy announcement, which featured a fun video of the soon-to-be family of five dancing in glowing stick figure body costumes.
“A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next,” the Oscar winner wrote alongside the clip in an Oct. 14 Instagram post, “this one releases in December.”
And since becoming a mom in 2023, the P.S. I Love You actress has been open about choosing to have kids later in life.
“I would have had kids earlier,” Swank told Women’s Health in a 2025 interview. “I’m not saying I actively waited until 47. But that was a magical time in my life, when it all culminated. It was the right time for a myriad of reasons.”
