Hilary Swank, the 52-year-old actress known for "Million Dollar Baby," announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with her third child, due in December 2026. In a video posted to social media, Swank and her family were seen dancing with glow sticks, which revealed a neon figure of an infant bump on Swank's stomach.
