Hilary Swank revealed her pregnancy this week during an appearance on Good Morning America. She announced the news of her twin pregnancy with husband Philip Schneider.
She remarked, “This is something I’ve wanted for a while,” live on GMA . “I’m going to have kids.”
Swank shared a couple images of her expanding baby bulge on Instagram following a flurry of public appearances celebrating the good news. She tags the photo, “Coming soonDOUBLE feature!” More than 168,000 people have already liked it, and many well-wishers have commented on it, including Chelsea Handler, Katie Couric, Tabitha Brown, and Sophia Bush.
Unfortunately, not everyone who commented in the comments section was there to offer support because the Internet and social media can foster just as much hatred as positivity. One person commented that the 48-year-old was too old to have children, but Emmy Rossum, a former co-star and friend, promptly corrected her, reports E! News .
“Aren’t you around fifty years old?” the troll says. “They’re going to be in their 70s when they finish college. possibly survive to witness their nuptials.”
Rossum spoke up for Swank immediately. The actress from Shameless, who co-starred with Swank in the 2014 movie You’re Not You, responds, “Gfy,” which is short for “go fuck yourself.”
There are hazards associated with childbirth later in life, and fertility declines with age after a woman reaches her 20s, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists . However, a woman’s decision about whether or not to have children (or how many) is solely her own. Not to add the fact that when a male over the age of 40 has a child, most people don’t seem to notice.
Swank looks ecstatic to be expecting not one, but two little children in the near future based on the interviews she has given this week.
The Million Dollar Baby star announced on Live with Kelly and Ryan shortly after breaking the news that twins run in both her and Scheider’s family, reports People . It really is a blessing, she said. “It truly is a miracle. It’s incredible.”
The actress later revealed even more poignant news in an interview with The Drew Barrymore Show : Her twins will be born on her late father’s birthday.
Salutations to Swank for her expanding family as well as to your tenacious pals!
