Hilary Swank Is A MAMA With Twins Making Easter Egg Debut!

Hilary Swank is finally a mama and chose Easter to show off her twin bundles of joy to the world. Initially, due later this month, it seems the babies could not wait to be born and decided to be the perfect Easter Eggs, or should we say bunnies?

Congratulations to Mama Hilary Swank and Papa Philip Schneider!

On Easter, April 9th, Hilary Swank took to Instagram to give the sweetest bit of news to her fans. Dressed in a terry robe and looking out at the sunrise over the sea, Swank cradled her newborns in a stunning picture, writing, "It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. ?????"

She also wished everyone, "Happy Easter! ??" showing off her hatched chicks and wrote that she was "Posting from pure Heaven."

The names of the newborns as well as her birthing story are yet to be revealed. The twins are the first children for both Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, whom she married in a private outdoor ceremony at a California preserve in 2018.

The 48-year-old Academy Award winner first revealed her pregnancy in October last year and said that she was looking forward to motherhood as her "next thing." On Instagram, she called it her "double feature."

Swank was also more than happy to talk about her pregnancy story given that motherhood came as a delightful surprise for her. Said the "Boys Don't Cry" actress, "And not just of one, but of two. I can't believe it." She also added, "It's so nice to be able to talk about it and share it."

Here's a little video of Swank and her twins, 'working out!'

Her twin bundles of joy were basically supposed to arrive on April 16th, which happened to be her late father's birthday. This news came out when Hilary Swank appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show," which aired in October itself, where host Drew Barrymore started off the conversation with, "You just announced that your father has passed away one year ago and this miracle is happening."

Swank then left Barrymore delighted when she replied, "Yeah and they are due on his birthday."

Her father, Stephen Michael Swank, passed away in October 2021 at the age of 73. In December 2021, Swank wrote him a tribute on Instagram, "I had a rather unique relationship with him as I was his sole caretaker after a lung transplant seven years ago. I grew incredibly close to him during this time, deepening our relationship and savoring every moment we had together. He will always remain one of my most favorite persons and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him."

It seems her little babies could not wait a week more to be born and so graced her on Easter instead!

We can't wait to hear the names of the little boy and girl!

Hilary Swank's post is nothing but love right now, with fans and celebrities flooding her with warmth and wishes.

Wrote Mariska Hargitay, "Welcome home angels" while Viola Davis also commented with a scream "Aaaaahhhh!!!!! Congratulations."

While Debra Messing and Jules Hough wrote in their congratulations, Sharon Stone was more verbose, writing, "God bless honey This is the most extraordinary journey ever ❣️?so happy for you all."

Misha Collins also commented, "So happy to see you turkeys soaking up the sea, the sun and the salt air! Love you. Welcome to planet earth little ones. Hope you have a lovely stay here."

More sweet comments and congratulations followed from Sophia Bush, Kate Hudson, Chelsea Handler, and Juliette Lewis among others.

One fan, also a mother to twins, showed her support with a little advice, "As a fellow twin mom (mine are now 14!), the best thing you can do is sleep when they sleep! Don’t feel guilty about it. Also, don’t feel like you have to do everything yourself! That’s how I felt and I burned myself out. Congratulations!!! I know the days are long but the years are so short."

Isn't that right!

And here's one of Swank's babies, flexing a little and preening for their mama!
