2008’s Baby Mama is a chaotic film, but one of the funniest bits is where Sigourney Weaver, who was then in her late 50s, played a surrogacy agency lady who kept getting pregnant effortlessly. Some women really are like that, and some women are helped along by fertility treatments and IVF. Well, Hilary Swank surprised everyone in 2022 when she announced her first pregnancy at the age of 48. In 2023, she welcomed twins Aya and Ohm and people were happy for her. Well… she’s pregnant again. At the age of 52.
52-year-old Hilary Swank’s got a bun in the oven … according to the announcement she made online.
The actress took to social media to post a video of herself, her husband, and their twins dancing in the dark dressed as glow-in-the-dark stick figures.
When Hilary turned around, she revealed a stick figure baby in her stomach … signaling she and Philip Schneider are expecting their third kid.
She captioned the cute clip … “A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December.”
The “Million Dollar Baby” star gave birth to her twins, Aya and Ohm, just 3 years ago … and it looks like she’s gearing up for baby number 3!
It’s a lot, to have three-year-old twins and a baby on the way at the age of 52. But by all indications, Hilary is in good health and she’s got plenty of money and help, so hopefully everything will be just fine. I mean… she’ll be 70 years old when her third child graduates from high school. It’s a lot. Her husband is in his 50s too, which honestly concerns me more than Hilary’s age. Good luck to them, I have the feeling they’ll need it!

All the best to her.
I hope they’re all happy and healthy.
I’ve been looking into family tree stuff and for whatever reason the program summarizes how old the parents were when the person was born. One of my ancestors had a 51 year old mother (was probably in a family of 13+ kids, 200 years ago). So it is a possible thing, but omg. Being pregnant now at 45, never mind 52, would be my nightmare.
People used to marry young and have babies till they didn’t no more. That farm ain’t gonna work itself. In this world now though it makes sense to wait until you are absolutely certain you can give the child a secure life. Heck, having a second or third act in life as a family is as valid as any other life choice.
To ordinary people, this is the stuff of nightmares. But let’s not forget that celebrities like Hilary Swank are not ordinary people. They have the resources to have babies at 52. Possibly the resources for endless rounds of fertility treatments and IVF. I wish them well, but they are not us.
she froze her eggs a long time ago. and I’m sure they have tons of household help.
Preach!!!!
What a trooper. I had a baby at 39 and am exhausted (and also love that kid more than anything ever). I didn’t have any other children younger than that but I hear from women who have multiple children over a longer time span that it hits different as you get older.
Even with incredible levels of wealth, this sounds exhausting. But she’s very fit so it probably isn’t exhausting for her. Felt I should add that in case anyone thinks I’m speaking for her, which I’m not.
I’m happy she’s happy, but I would be… so pissed.
As a (now adult) child of elder parents, I can say that it wasn’t fun to have everyone think that my parents were my grandparents. Also, as I got older they had less and less energy or desire to do things with me that my friends parents did. I do realize that 52 now is different from 52 in my time but biology is still a reality, what’s the likelihood that Hilary will be around to see this child marry and have children?
I wonder of she reached out to Chad Lowe. Not sure if their split was amicable or not.
IIRC She had a hard time getting pregnant and was surprised by the twins! She did freeze her eggs when she was 37.
