Hilary Swank's pregnancy has been in the spotlight lately for many reasons. The actress faced criticism for having children at her age, with some questioning whether she was too old to start a family.

However, Swank has refused to let the negativity bring her down, and she recently took to Instagram to share one of her favorite moments from her pregnancy with fans.

In a black and white nude photo, Swank held her stomach and was fully exposed. She had a smile on her face, and the vulnerable photo perfectly captured her joy and serene expression as she prepared to enter a new phase of life with her twins.

The response from Swank's followers was overwhelmingly positive, with many people calling her "beautiful," "strong," and "incredible." They noticed her pregnancy glow and sang her praises:

"Congratulations on the birth of your babies! Being pregnant with twins must [not] have been easy. You [have] been very brave."

One online user wrote, "The most natural photo... more stunning than any red carpet photo and designer gown... just you and your unborn babies," while another commented:

"Such an incredible photo. Sending you and your family all the congratulations, love, and support on this incredible journey."

Swank's decision to share such an intimate moment with her fans has touched many people and reminded them of the beauty of life and motherhood.

Why Did People Call Hilary Swank Selfish?

Swank's pregnancy announcement was met with a barrage of criticism from people who deemed it "selfish" and "irresponsible." Many questioned whether it was appropriate for Swank to start a family at such a late age.

People expressed concern for the risks to both the mother and the children. Users did not hold back their opinions; one netizen stated she was "Too old to be pregnant." Another comment read:

"How deeply irresponsible to bring kids into the world at such an old age to fulfill some inner selfish desire for children. By the time your kids are in their 20s, their parents will be in a nursing home or dead."

In response to the negative comments, Swank's co-star in "You're Not You," Emmy Rossum, came to her defense.

When one person criticized Swank's decision, writing, "Gonna be in your 70's when they graduate college. MIGHT live to see their wedding, maybe," Rossum responded with a short but seething comment: "Gfy," an abbreviation for "go [expletive] yourself."

Swank has refused to let the negativity get to her, and she continues to celebrate her pregnancy and the gift of motherhood with joy and gratitude.

In a recent interview, she opened up about her decision to wait until 48 to start a family. The actress explained that she was focused on building her career, and another factor was connected to her love life.

Swank had not yet found the right partner until four years ago, and only when all the necessary elements came together did she feel the time was right to grow her family.

She also shared her thoughts about motherhood, expressing that it was something she had dreamed about since she was a little girl.

The actress revealed that she feels grateful and excited to embark on this new chapter in her life. Despite the criticism and judgment, Swank remains confident in her choice.

Why Did Hillary Write a Heartbreaking Post a Week after the Birth of Her Children?

Swank wrote a heartbreaking post a week after the birth of her children because the anniversary of her father's death, April 17, coincided with their birth.

Swank and her dad were lucky enough to share a special bond. The Hollywood icon took care of him, and it was a time she treasured.

Stephen, a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, needed his daughter's care and support more than ever when he had a lung transplant—and she did not let him down.

For seven years, Swank was her dad's sole caretaker, and in that time, their relationship blossomed. She was thankful for the precious moments together, and his 2021 passing left her shattered.

In her touching post, Swank shared a photo of herself with her "guiding light" dad and wrote a beautiful tribute to him on what would have been his 75th birthday.

"I celebrate you every day and the beautiful, grace-filled gift you were and continue to be in my life. I love you, Dad. Always and forever through every lifetime," the actress expressed:

Swank's father's death profoundly impacted her, changing her perspective on life and how she lived it.

She admitted that she misses and thinks of him daily, but amid her grief, she was "awakened to the truest sense of living again." She became more aware of the circle of life and the natural order of things.

Though devastating, saying goodbye to her dad gave Swank a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation for the people and experiences that matter most. She was more determined than ever to prioritize her loved ones and be the best mother she could be.
