“Million Dollar Baby” star Hilary Swank is about to have babies of her own.
The 48-year-old actress revealed Wednesday on “Good Morning America” that she will be a mom to “not just one, but two.”
“I am so happy to share it with you and America at this time,” Swank beamed. “This is something I’ve been waiting for a long time… It’s so nice to be able to talk about it and share it.”
The Oscar winner is expecting twins with social entrepreneur Philip Schneider, with whom got married in 2018 in the redwoods of Carmel, California. News of the pregnancy came at the end of Swank’s appearance on “GMA” to promote her new ABC show, “Alaska Daily.”
Created by Oscar-winning “Spotlight” screenwriter Tom McCarthy, the journalism drama stars Swank as a seasoned investigative reporter who moves her career from New York to Alaska after taking a hit to her professional reputation.

According to the magazine PeopleSwank later told Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa of “Live With Kelly and Ryan” that the cast and crew of “Alaska Daily” didn’t know she was pregnant until her announcement Wednesday on national television.
Swank recalled that at one point while filming the series, he had to open up his jeans because they no longer fit him and put a jacket over his costume.
“[Ellos] They came and said, ‘That’s not in continuity,’” he said. “I said, ‘Oh, I think it works.’ ‘It doesn’t.’ “If not, it does. I’m going to make it work.” She says, ‘If you’re an executive producer, you can do it, but this is weird.’ “
As for health, Swank said he “feels fine right now,” despite experiencing a bit of jet lag when switching from Pacific to Eastern time.
“It’s a great blessing,” she said of her pregnancy. “It’s a total miracle.”
“Alaska Daily” premieres Thursday at 7 pm Pacific on ABC.
