Hilary Swank has welcomed twins with her husband Philip Schneider – and she's revealed the genders. The actress surprised fans when she took to Instagram to share a photo of her standing before a gorgeous sunset holding her two newborn babies.
The Million Dollar Baby star could only been seen from behind as she held each baby in both of her arms while wearing a bathrobe.
She wrote in the caption: "It wasn't easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. Happy Easter! Posting from pure Heaven." Hilary didn't reveal when she gave birth, but the star was inundated with well-wishes from her fans, followers and fellow celebrities. Viola Davis wrote a comment that read: "Aaaahhh!!! Congratulations."
Sharon Stone said: "God bless honey. This is the most extraordinary journey ever. So happy for you all," while Katie Couric wrote: "So happy for you Hilary!!! What a gift… or gifts."
