Hilary Swank, 48, gives birth to twins with husband Philip Schneider
Hilary Swank, 48, has announced the birth of her “miracle” twins, but has already been attacked on social media because of her age.
It’s twin time!
Hilary Swank announced Sunday that she gave birth to her and her husband Philip Schneider’s babies — a boy and a girl.
“It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. Happy Easter! Posting from pure Heaven,” she captioned a photo on Instagram of herself holding her newborns as they looked at a sunset.
The star, 48, did not reveal the children’s names or birth date.
Swank married Schneider in August 2018, revealing four years later that they were starting a family.
“This is something that I’ve been wanting for a long time,” she said of her pregnancy in October 2022. “My next thing is I’m gonna be a mum. And not just of one but of two.”
Later that same day, the Oscar winner went on to reveal her due date in a Drew Barrymore interview.
“They’re due on [my late father’s] birthday. I know. It’s like, [wow],” she said, referencing Stephen Swank, who was born on April 16.
The visibly emotional actress called her upcoming arrivals “miracles”.
While many stars celebrated Hilary’s news via social media, from Kate Hudson to Hilarie Burton, Emmy Rossum took her support to the next level.
Besides commenting with clapping emojis, the Shameless alum slammed a social media user who bashed Hilary’s pregnancy at age 48.
“AREN’T YOU LIKE 50 YRS OLD?” the troll wrote. “Gonna be in your 70s [sic] when they graduate college. MIGHT live to see their wedding, maybe.”
Rossum, 36, simply replied, “Gfy,” which stands for “go f**k yourself.”
Prior to Hilary and Schneider’s marriage, the Million Dollar Baby star was married to actor Chad Lowe from 1997 to 2007.
She has also dated agent John Campisi and former tennis pro Rubén Torres.
