Hilary Swank, 50, shares rare photo with one of her 20-month-old twins as she celebrates the holidays

Hilary Swank shared a rare photo with one of her twins in her latest holiday Instagram post.

On Sunday, the 50-year-old Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum posted a photo of her and her toddler — one of 20-month-old twins she shares with husband Philip Schneider.

Posing in front of a lighted Christmas tree, she posed with her hand on the head of daughter Aya or son Ohm as they admired the decorations.

She flashed a bright smile as she stood in front of her lavish waterfront abode with a beautiful view of the lake and tall tree.

In her caption, she sent seasonal greetings to her 1.6 million Instagram followers, and she also acknowledged that the holidays can sometimes be difficult for people.

“Happy holidays to you all,” the Million Dollar Baby star — who took a trip to France with her husband during Paris Fashion Week in October — began before adding that she is “so grateful for this community.”

“Wishing everyone a restful and restorative time, as best we can anyway, as we all navigate all that we are juggling,” she wrote.

She also emphasized multitaskers and caregivers with many responsibilities during this period.

“I feel so connected to all the caregivers who have so many balls in the air and little time for themselves,” she continued. ‘Just like anyone who deals with loss in any way.’

Swank added, “Grieving is hard work, especially this time of year. Huge love to you all.”

The Oscar winner’s rare family photo comes shortly after she shared her insights into mothering 20-month-old twins at the age of 50.

The actress — who started dating her now husband, a social entrepreneur, in 2018 after being introduced by a mutual friend — welcomed their twins in April 2023.

Last weekend, she opened up about her experiences with motherhood when she made a guest appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna.

And during the show, she gushed about celebrating the holidays with them as they grew up.

‘Last year was technically their first Christmas, but they didn’t know that at all. This time they saw a tree with lights,” she told the talk show hosts before explaining how her children were filled with awe and wonder.

She said seeing the world again through her children’s eyes has changed her perspective on life.

“Everything is new again,” she said. ‘You hear that, but until you experience it you think: ‘What does that actually mean?’ But now I know.’

She added that being a mom not only makes the holidays special, but also “any time of year.”

“Every day with them is so divine,” she said. “It’s such a blessing, and I feel so grateful and I’m so happy.”

“I feel like I’m 30 because I have 20-month-old babies,” she told them.

A few months earlier, she also shared that she was “really focused on my other baby, which was my career” before welcoming her babies at age 47.

Until then, she said she wasn’t ready to become a mother.

“I’ve known I wanted to be an actor since I was eight years old, and I love my career,” she said People in October.

“Hopefully I’ll always be an actor,” she continued. “So I was really career-oriented and I wasn’t ready to have kids in my 20s, or really even in my 30s, and then I turned 40, and I didn’t have a partner,” she said before she noted. that doesn’t mean I had to have a partner.’

‘Many people receive donors and that is a wonderful opportunity. Many people adopt. There are a lot of different ways, so I was open to everything.”
