Hilary Swank announces pregnancy with third child at age 52

Actress Hilary Swank has announced she is pregnant with her third child at age 52. The announcement was made via an Instagram video featuring Swank, her husband Philip Schneider, and their three-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm.

Swank, who welcomed twins at age 48 in April 2023, indicated in her post that the new arrival is expected in December. Following the announcement, Swank appeared in New York City showcasing her pregnancy during a public appearance.

Reports suggest Swank had previously hesitated to share the news following the recent death of Fiona Hepler Lowe, the 13-year-old daughter of Swank’s ex-husband Chad Lowe. Lowe and his family confirmed in late September that Fiona had passed away.

Medical experts note that pregnancy at age 52 is rare, as most women in this age group have entered menopause. Clinical discussions regarding such pregnancies often focus on advanced maternal age and the use of assisted reproductive technologies.
