The supposed birth date of the famed producer's unborn kids is certainly surprising, including the fact that she paid homage to her late father a mere four days before announcing her pregnancy to the world.

The announcement was met with cheers from the show's hosts, who congratulated and appreciated her telling their viewers first without hearing it from other sources. It is worth knowing that Hilary's pregnancy comes four years after her California marriage to Schneider, whom she dated for nearly two years.

She also revealed that she was "overwhelmed with gratitude and thanks" to be marrying the man of her dreams in the presence of all the people they loved. It was indeed a dream come true.
