With a tender postcard, the star of Million Dollar Baby told that she is a girl and a boy and she hinted at the challenges she overcame to become a mother together with her husband Philip Schneider.

“It was not easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it,” the Oscar winner wrote alongside a photo showing her on her back carrying her two babies as she gazes out at the magical Sunday sunset. “Happy Easter! I post this from heaven ”, she added, taking advantage of this very special date to share the news.

Immediately, the post was filled with likes and comments that not only welcomed the little ones but also congratulated Swank on his new title. “Happy Easter mom,” Kate Hudson wrote as Sharon Stone released: “God bless you darling. This is the most extraordinary journey you can undertake. Very happy for all of you.”

They were joined by celebrities such as Leslie Grace, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Mariska Hargitay, Debra Messing and Katie Couric, who also expressed their happiness for their colleague and agreed on the miracle of life.

Hilary Swank is one of the most popular faces in Hollywood. With a prominent career, which includes two Oscars for Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby (2005) and Kimberley Pierce’s Boys Don’t Cry (2000), the interpreter has also won the award from the Actors Guild of her country (SAG ) and the Golden Globe.

In October, Swank announced her pregnancy on Good Morning America, shocking the entire audience. “This is something I have been waiting for a long time: my next role will be to be a mom. And not just one, but two children. I can’t believe it, ”she revealed at the time, who confessed how difficult it was for her to have to wait until the second quarter to tell the news. “It’s great to be able to talk about this and share it. It’s a blessing. It is an absolute miracle. Incredible ”, she affirmed excitedly.

Although the reaction of her followers abounded with congratulations and good wishes for her, there were also some comments that questioned Swank’s decision to want to become a mother at 48 years of age.

Despite everything, the interpreter began to share some key moments of her pregnancy. While for Halloween the protagonist of Postscript: I love you posed, along with her disguised dog, with a T-shirt that said: “My two little pumpkins”, earlier this year she confessed how difficult it was for her to follow her exercise routine with such a belly.

In January, Hilary opened up about her desire to become a mother again on The Late Late Show with James Corden. “It’s something she thought about even when she was a kid. I live to the fullest and I enjoy my career, on the one hand… And, on the other, until years ago I didn’t have the right relationship to think about doing it. I needed all the elements to come together and feel good,” said Swank, who has been married to Philip Schneider since 2018.

Regarding the fact that this miracle of life occurs at this moment in her life, she reflected: “I feel that women are superheroines. What do our bodies do? I have a whole new respect. I mean, I love women, I’ve always loved women, but now I’m like, ‘Wow, we can do this!’ ”, She finished off in the same television series.
