Last April, something pretty amazing happened. Hilary Swank, you know, the actress from “Alaska Daily,” announced she’d become a mom. At 49, no less! She welcomed not one, but two little bundles of joy into the world. Yet, at the time, she kept the deets about her newborns under wraps.
Fast forward to Valentine’s Day. Hilary decides it’s the perfect moment to spill the beans on her first babies’ names. Why now, you ask? Well, she’s got this film, “Ordinary Angels,” hitting theaters on February 23rd. She’s gearing up for a whirlwind of press and figured, hey, why not share something super personal amidst the movie chatter?
In a heartfelt Instagram post, she teased us with a pic of her two kiddos. Faces out of view, of course – gotta respect their privacy. And there, in the caption, she’s like, “Got a crazy week of talk shows coming where I’ll yap about my film and a cool partnership. But first, lemme tell you my little loves’ names.” And guess what? She did, with their names creatively spelled out behind each of them.
So, here’s the scoop. Hilary and her hubby, Philip Schneider, decided on Aya for their daughter and Ohm for their son. Cute, right?
Swipe through her Instagram, and you’ll notice it’s only the second time she’s gone public with her babies. The first? When she broke the news of their arrival. Flashback to October 2022, Hilary’s on “Good Morning America,” practically glowing. She shares, “Been dreaming of this for ages. I’m gonna be a mom to not one, but two. Can you believe it?” Finally, she could share her joy with the world.
And here we are, sending all our love and best wishes to Hilary as she navigates this incredible journey of parenthood with Aya and Ohm.
Oh, and a quick shoutout to Kate Fann, the writer behind this piece. She’s living it up in East Tennessee with her husband Casey and their two sons, Quinn and Noah. When she’s not crafting stories or getting lost in Instagram, you might find her sipping on fine wines, experimenting with makeup, baking something scrumptious, or exploring the Smoky Mountains.
