Hilary Swank has spoken out about the double standards faced by women who have children later in life after announcing she's expecting her third child at 52. Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress said women face 'a lot of backlash' for having children later, while older fathers receive far less criticism. Swank, who welcomed twins with husband Philip Schneider in 2023 at 48, recalled being told she was 'too old' to become a mother. The Oscar winner has also offered words of encouragement to a fan worried about becoming a parent later in life, telling her: 'Things happen in their time, not ours.' #hilaryswank #celebrity #pregnancy
