  "account": "Hollywood star Hilary Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, are expanding their family for the third time. The two-time Oscar winner and entrepreneur, who welcomed twins in 2023, are expecting another child. Swank announced the news via a playful Instagram video, in which she danced with several stick figures representing the impending addition to their brood. She captioned the clip, \"A lot of people have been asking what project I'm doing next; this one releases in December.\"\n\nSwank, 52, married her husband in 2018 and became first-time parents in 2023 with the birth of their twins, Aya and Ohm. Earlier this year, she shared her joy during a television appearance, stating, \"I'm so happy to share the news with you and with America right now.\" In a 2025 interview with Women's Health, Swank reflected on her journey to motherhood, noting that she had frozen her eggs at 37 before falling pregnant a decade later. She described starting a family in her late 40s as a \"magical time\" and mentioned that growing older had made her \"much more patient\" and \"much more understanding,\" allowing her to be more present with her children.\n\nIn addition to growing her family, Swank has shifted her focus towards advocating for infant health. She has been a leading voice in support of Assembly Bill 1901, which mandates that diaper manufacturers list all ingredients on their packaging and online.",
