In the Instagram video, the family dances in the dark with glow sticks attached to their clothing. Her husband and twins appear first, creating glowing figures against the dark background.
Then Swank joins the dance and reveals her baby bump. A small glowing figure on her stomach represents the baby.
The actress also joked about her next professional project.
“A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December,” she wrote alongside the video.
Her announcement quickly became another personal milestone for the two-time Academy Award winner.
Swank won Oscars for her performances in Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby. She has also appeared in television productions, including Away and Yellowjackets.
Despite her successful acting career, Swank has often spoken about the importance of family life.
Actress Says Motherhood Later in Life Changed Her Perspective
Swank became a mother for the first time at 48, when she welcomed her twins in April 2023.
In previous interviews with PEOPLE, she explained why becoming a parent later in life worked well for her.
The actress said her career demanded much of her attention when she was younger. She always wanted children, but other responsibilities shaped the timing of her decision.
Today, she believes her established career gives her greater freedom to spend time with her family.
Swank has also spoken about the patience she developed over the years. She believes her life experience helps her approach parenting with greater understanding.
Her twins have also taught her to appreciate everyday moments.
Although she occasionally shares family updates, Swank generally keeps her children away from the public eye.
The actress married Philip Schneider in 2018. They welcomed their twins nearly five years later.
With another baby expected in December, Swank and Schneider are preparing for a new chapter as a family of five.
