Hilary Swank announced on Wednesday (October 5) that she is pregnant - and is expecting not one, but two little additions to her family.

During a recent Good Morning America appearance to promote her latest TV series, 48-year-old Swank excitedly told hosts that she was pregnant with twins, saying: "This is something that I've been wanting for a long time and my next thing is I'm gonna be a mom. And not just of one, but of two. I can't believe it."

The Million Dollar Baby actress added: "It's so nice to be able to talk about it and share it."

Shortly after her television appearance, Swank told Live With Kelly and Ryan: "I'm feeling great right now, even with the time - you know, I'm on Pacific time, so I'm a little cross-eyed with that. But I'm feeling good right now."

The acclaimed actress, who is currently filming Alaska Daily  - a drama series following a disgraced former reporter who takes up a position at a small, Alaskan newspaper - recalled that her co-stars and crew weren't aware that she was pregnant until the announcement.

"But my clothes started not to fit so I had to, the other day ... cut [my jeans] open. And then I put a jacket on that wasn't in continuity. And [they] came and said, 'That's not in continuity.' I said, 'Oh, I think it works.' 'It doesn't.' 'No, it does. I'm going to make it work.' She's like, 'If you're an executive producer, you can do it, but this is weird,'" the Nebraskan native said, via People.

Twins apparently run on both hers and Schneider's sides of the family, with Swank adding that she was "so excited" for what the future as a new mom will bring.
Swank and Schneider wed in 2018, after the social venture entrepreneur proposed to the actress overlooking the stunning landscape of Colorado.

"We stumbled upon a beautiful sanctuary deep in the mountains. It had a stunning waterfall that cascades down to rustic cabins built in the 1800s surrounded by beautiful pines and big skies," Swank recounted to Vogue, "One evening, Philip dropped to his knee in front of the waterfall and proposed—he sweetly made sure my dogs were nearby so they could bear witness!"

"I just love kids and that would be an important thing to happen for me someday whenever the time is right," the then-32-year-old added.
