Actress Hilary Swank is out of the motion-sickness phase of her pregnancy and outwardly speaking on her double bundles of joy that she is expecting next spring.
In an interview with Extra, the 48-year-old actress revealed that she and her husband of four years, Philip Schneider, hadn’t been actively trying for children, but that being a mom was something she had envisioned for herself since she was a child.
“No, I mean, you know what, it’s just something I had thought about even as a young girl. It was just something that was on my mind,” she shared.
When asked why she hadn’t expanded her family sooner, the actress said, “Having a career, and just, you know, not having the right relationship until, whatever five years ago now, four years ago now, and just, you know, all the elements needing to come together and be right.”
