"It was not easy.
But boy (and girl!) was it worth it.
Happy Easter!
Posting from heaven.
This is how the Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank (48 years old, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA) announced the birth of her two twins through her Instagram account, the same platform on which she has been showing 1.4 million followers the evolution of her first pregnancy.
The text is accompanied by a photograph where the interpreter, in a bathrobe and with her back turned, holds the two babies while they contemplate an idyllic sunset overlooking the sea.
At the moment the name of the newborns is unknown, but the congratulations of colleagues and colleagues.
“God bless you, darling.
This is the most extraordinary trip in history.
So happy for all of you,” she commented on her Sharon Stone's post.
Congratulations from Viola Davis, Juliette Lewis,
The two-time Oscar winner —both for Best Leading Actress, for
Boys Don't Cry,
in 1999, and for
Million Dollar Baby,
in 2004— announced that she was pregnant last October during an interview on the US television show
Good Morning America
:
"There is something that I have wanted for a long time and that will be the next thing, and that is that I am going to be a mother," Swank explained in his talk with the program's commentators.
“And not just one, but two.
I can not believe it".
The actress was radiant and happy to announce the news, for which she waited, as happens in most cases, to start the second trimester of pregnancy before making it public: "It's great to be able to talk about it and share it."

That same month of October, she shared in an interview why she had decided to be a mother now: "I had a career and I didn't have the right relationship until... four years ago, and all the elements needed to come together and be the right ones."
From the moment she announced her pregnancy, the actress has been sharing some moments of her day-to-day life on social networks, whether they were her daily exercise routines, her ultrasound scans or her appearances on a carpet red.
These are the first children of the actress and also those of her husband, the businessman Philip Schneider.
The couple married in August 2018 in California after two years of relationship, a relationship that they began after a blind date that some friends organized for them a few months after the interpreter put an end to her commitment to the Ruben Torres tennis player.
This is the second marriage for the interpreter, who was married to actor Chad Lowe (brother of also interpreter Rob Lowe) for almost a decade, between September 1997 and January 2007.

Swank is not the first in a long line of well-known women to have children over 45.
Chloë Sevigny, also an actress, had her first child at the age of 45, in 2020. "For me, being a mother from the age of 40 made perfect sense," she explained in an interview with SModa
.
Cameron Diaz announced just begun 2020 that she had been the mother at the age of 47 of a girl named Raddix Madden, although it was never known, it has been known if she had been pregnant because in recent years she has lived away from the spotlight.
Also at the age of 47, Halle Berry and Susan Sarandon, or the Spanish presenter Anne Igartiburu gave birth.
Ana Rosa Quintana, like Swank, had twins at 48, in 2004. Singer Janet Jackson gave birth to a boy in January 2017, when she was 50 years old.
And, in the summer of 2019, the actress Brigitte Nielsen was a mother at the age of 55.
