OZ.VGI.CO.ID - Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank made her first public appearance since announcing her third pregnancy, showcasing her growing baby bump. The 52-year-old star was observed leaving a taping of The Drew Barrymore Show in New York City on Thursday, opting for an outfit that deliberately highlighted her pregnant belly.
A Stylish Reveal in the City That Never Sleeps
Swank was photographed wearing a simple white top that clearly exposed her baby bump.
She complemented this with a vibrant, chunky knit cardigan, low-rise jeans that offered a relaxed fit, and a pair of black boots.
The actress appeared to be in high spirits, engaging with fans by smiling broadly and waving as she departed the studio.
This public display follows her highly anticipated pregnancy announcement earlier in the week.
The Grand Announcement: A Family Affair on Instagram
The pregnancy news broke on Wednesday via an Instagram video posted by Swank.
The short clip featured her husband, businessman Philip Schneider, and their three-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm.
In the video, the family members were seen dancing, with what appeared to be glow sticks taped to their bodies.
Swank then revealed her own bump, adorned with a small glow stick representing the baby on the way, and disclosed that her due date is in December.
"A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December," she captioned the post, humorously referring to her impending arrival.
A Mature Approach to Motherhood
This marks Swank's third pregnancy. She and Schneider, also 52, welcomed their twins, Aya and Ohm, in April 2023, at which time Swank was 48 years old. In a candid interview with Women's Health magazine in November 2025, the Boys Don't Cry star reflected on her experiences with parenting later in life. "I’m a very different parent than I would’ve been, even in my early 40s," Swank stated. She elaborated on this difference, noting increased patience and understanding. "I’m much more patient. I’m much more understanding. I am much more, I think, interested in a different way than I would’ve been."
Balancing Career and Family
Swank also highlighted the advantages of having an established career before starting a family. "And I have my career that’s already established, so I’m not divided," she shared. The Million Dollar Baby actress, who has previously discussed freezing her eggs and acknowledged that she "would have had kids earlier" under different circumstances, emphasized her ability to be a "hands-on parent" at this stage of her life. She described the period leading up to her children's birth as "magical" and "the right time for a myriad of reasons," rather than a deliberate waiting game until age 47.
Personal Milestones and Relationships
Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider have been married since August 2018.
Swank was previously married to actor Chad Lowe from 1997 to 2007.
The recent public reveal of her pregnancy and subsequent appearance underscore a significant personal chapter for the acclaimed actress, met with widespread public interest.
