Hilary Swank reveals the names of her twins on Valentine's Day

Hilary Swank revealed the names of her twins: Aya and Ohm.

Hilary Swank, the award-winning actress known for her roles in films like 'Million Dollar Baby,' recently shared a heartfelt Valentine's Day tribute to her twins. Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, welcomed their son and daughter last year and chose this special day to reveal their names.

In an Instagram post, Swank shared a beautiful photo of her twins at the beach. Although their backs faced the camera, the names 'Aya' and 'Ohm' were written in the sand. Alongside the photo, Swank expressed her excitement to share the names of her 'little loves' with her followers before embarking on a week of talk show appearances.

Swank's daughter, Aya, was dressed in a cute pink strawberry graphic wet suit with a white sun hat, while her baby boy sported a blue swimsuit with fish prints. The proud mother couldn't help but humorously mention that her babies were fascinated with the idea of eating sand.

The announcement of the twins' arrival came in April 2023, although Swank didn't disclose their exact birthdate. She posted a photo on Instagram that showed her holding the two babies, expressing the joy and gratitude she felt, saying, 'It wasn't easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it.'

Swank and Schneider got married in August 2018 and announced their plans to expand their family four years later. The actress shared her pregnancy news with the world during various morning show appearances, starting with 'Good Morning America' in October 2022. Swank expressed her long-held desire to become a mother and revealed that she was expecting not just one, but two children.

During the same interviews, Swank revealed that her original due date was April 16, which also happened to be her late father's birthday. This connection made the arrival of her twins all the more special and meaningful for the actress, who referred to them as 'miracles.'

Before marrying Schneider, Swank was previously married to Chad Lowe for 10 years, but the former couple did not have children together.

Hilary Swank's heartfelt Valentine's Day tribute not only introduced the world to her adorable twins but also provided a glimpse into her joy and gratitude as a mother. Fans are undoubtedly excited to see more adorable moments from this growing family in the future.
