Hilary Swank is "on cloud nine" after giving birth to twins with her husband Philip Schneider.
Hilary Swank has fallen even more in love with her husband after seeing him with their babies
The 48-year-old actress took to social media on Easter Sunday (10.04.23) to reveal they had become parents for the first time to a boy and a girl, who they haven't publicly named yet, and she "couldn't be happier".
A source told Us Weekly: “Hilary is literally on cloud nine right now, and she couldn’t be happier now that her babies are finally here."
The 'P.S. I Love You' star has fallen even more in love with her spouse after seeing him fathering their newborns.
The insider added: “Philip has been an incredible support system and Hilary loves seeing him with the babies.
“She didn’t think it was even possible but seeing him as a father with them has only made her fall even more in love with the man she married.”
Alongside a snap of herself facing towards the sunrise whilst holding the two little ones, she announced on Instagram: "It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. Happy Easter! [chick emoji, chick emoji] Posting from pure Heaven. (sic)"
The 'Boys Don't Cry' actress revealed the news that she was expecting last October and was excited to be becoming a mother for the first time.
Speaking during an appearance on 'Good Morning America' to promote her TV series 'Alaska Daily', Hilary said: "I'm so happy to share it with you and with America right now. This is something I've been wanting for a long time and my next thing is I'm going to be a mom! I'm going to be a mom and not just of one but of two."
After being congratulated on the happy news, she said: "It's so nice to be able to talk about it and share it.
"It's far enough along that I can share it. And I am sharing it right now for the first time."
The Oscar-winning star has previously said she is "very maternal".
She told The Mail on Sunday's You magazine in 2020: "I actually do want to talk about this. I feel that I'm very maternal in the people that I care for and all the sentient beings I have around me - my dogs, my horses or just the human beings.
"And I feel like so much of the time women who either choose not to or can't have children are somehow seen as not maternal or not mothering and it is a conversation that needs to be had, because... I've heard a lot of women say that they've been told, 'Oh, you're kind of a failure'. Or, you know, 'Didn't you come here to procreate?' There are so many different ways to procreate!
"Any type of mothering, any type of nurturing, is being a mother. I have a lot of children around me [through] exes who I was with for many years. For a long while I was with a man who had a son [her former agent John Campisi] and I helped raise him. And then after that there was a bunch of kids and I have tons of nieces and nephews."
