Actress Hilary Swank (48) is currently pregnant with twins - which is why she celebrated a very special Christmas this year. The Oscar winner shared a celebratory photo on Instagram, proudly showing off her baby bump. "We couldn't ask for a more amazing miracle. So thankful for these two gifts of our lives!!!" Swank captioned the photo, which shows her in a red and white striped romper in front of a festively decorated Christmas tree. She put her hands lovingly around her stomach.

"Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all miracles in your life in whatever form," the actress added, along with the hashtags "Merry Christmas" and "Miracles." Numerous stars did not miss it and left loving words under the post. "I'm so happy for you!!! The cutest little elves," commented colleague Selma Blair (50), while Lindsay Lohan (36) wished "Merry Christmas".

Hilary Swank revealed on US television in early October that she is pregnant. "I'm going to be a mom," the 48-year-old gushed on Good Morning America. "And not just one, but two [children]," she continued. It is not known when the twins are due to be born. After around two years together, the actress and entrepreneur Philip Schneider said yes in 2018. The twins are the couple's first children.
