Hilary Swank didn’t hide it.
At 52, the actress left a taping of The Drew Barrymore Show in New York wearing a short white top, low-rise jeans, and a colorful cardigan that left her baby bump on display. It was October 15, 2026, just one day after she announced on Instagram that she is expecting her third child with her husband Philip Schneider, with whom she already has 3-year-old twins Aya and Ohm. The baby is due at the end of the year.
Her look reignited a conversation other celebrities were already familiar with. According to the article, some people on social media compared her belly to Anne Hathaway’s, after she received similar comments following a red carpet appearance and even had to deal with rumors that her baby bump was fake. She responded with humor: “Fake hair, real belly”. Before that, Rihanna had made showing off pregnancy with open garments and sheer fabrics fashionable.
Swank also spoke about the issue on the show: she said women face more backlash for becoming mothers at an older age than men do. What do you think: should every woman be able to dress her baby bump however she wants?
