The pregnancy glow is real! Since Hillary Swank shared the exciting news in October of last year, it's been all smiles.
The famous actress, who became pregnant for the first time at the age of 48, gave many women new hope for motherhood after 40. While the star admits that she always thought she would become a mother one day, she waited patiently until the right time would come.
After dating Philip Schneider for a year and a half, the couple married in 2018 and decided they wanted to expand their family: “All the elements had to come together,” Hilary explained, adding: “It's a blessing. It's a total miracle. Is incredible".
Much to the delight of her fans, Swank occasionally shares updates about her pregnancy progress on Instagram, and in the most recent one she says, “The oven is heating up, the dough is starting to rise!” Regardless of her rapidly approaching due date (it's in April), Hillary appears to be in better shape than ever. And she is not the only one, here and here other celebrities looked even more dazzling after becoming mothers.
She continued to work full-time during the first half of her pregnancy. While filming the Alaska Diary series, she initially hid her baby bump from the crew, saying she had to cut off the pants she wore on set so her growing belly could fit: "I was like, 'I'm pregnant and I can't tell him.' to anyone,''' recalls the actress.
Although Ella Swank is no stranger to strenuous workouts, she kept her exercise regimen moderate and tried to avoid any physically challenging scenes: “I ordered a double to run,” she confessed. However, no one believed her when she said she was a “terrible” runner, so Swank had to use her talent to convince the team to help her.
In October 2022, Swank was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when she announced that she was expecting twins and said that motherhood is something she has wanted for a long time. After years of focusing on her career and taking the time to find “the right” person, Hillary finally feels like everything is going right in her life: “It's beautiful. "Everything is perfect," she added. Coincidentally, her due date falls on the birthday of her late father, who passed away in 2021.
The beautiful actress appeared at the Golden Globes in February alongside her husband, looking as stunning as ever. While being interviewed on the red carpet, she said that she is “completely amazed” at what our bodies are capable of. Expectant parents will wait until the babies are born to find out their s*x. And they haven't decided on names yet, but Swank says they already have "a couple" of options for boys and girls up their sleeves.
