Actress Hilary Swank is going through one of the best phases of her life. On the night of October 14, 2026, the 52-year-old Oscar winner announced that she is pregnant with her third child. She shared the good news with her fans via a sweet Instagram post alongside her family.
For those unaware, Hilary Swank married Philip Schneider in 2018. Before Philip, the actress was in a long-term relationship with John Campisi.
Why did Hilary Swank and John Campisi break up?
Hilary Swank began dating her agent John Campisi in December 2006. The duo was first linked romantically after Hilary separated from Chad Lowe following their 9-year marriage. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hilary blamed Chad’s addictions as the sole reason for their split.
As their split had left Hilary bummed, she needed someone to lean on for support, and that person just happened to be John. Hilary once admitted that initially, there was no “spark” between them as John too was coming out of a serious relationship. Hilary said:
“There was no spark. What’s interesting is, there was never anything. It wasn’t until we were well into the dissipation of our respective relationships. Going through something so difficult at the same time, we became very good friends.”
Hilary confessed that it was pretty unexpected how she became closer and closer to John Campisi. But since he was acting as her agent at the time, they came to the realization that if they wanted to take their relationship to the next level, the pair would no longer be able to work together.
Despite her divorce from Chad, Hilary Swank said that she did not rule out getting married a second time. But since they were in long marriages, they did not feel the need to rush into it. In her words:
“I believe in the sanctity of marriage. John and I, you know, we were both in long marriages, and it’s not something that we need to rush back into…But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship.”
After being together for five years, Hilary Swank’s rep confirmed that she and John had called it quits in May 2012. The news of their breakup only came out months later, in August 2012. While Hilary and John both kept quiet about the reason for their split, a source quoted by In Touch Weekly revealed some unknown details.
They said that while Hilary wished to tie the knot with John, he was not so eager. In fact, the insider claimed that it had left Hilary Swank pretty upset. They added:
“For years, Hilary was bugging John to get married. She didn’t understand why he wouldn’t commit to her after he dumped his wife for her. Hilary would fight with John about it relentlessly. She was really upset.”
Hilary Swank announced third pregnancy with a sweet family video
Taking to Instagram, Hilary Swank posted a video where she and her family can be seen dancing with glowsticks taped to them. While this turned them into stick figures, fans soon noticed that one of them was carrying a baby. The 52-year-old hilariously captioned the post, “A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next; this one releases in December.”
Her caption made it clear that the little one is due to be born at the end of 2026. The Yellowjackets actress previously gave birth to twins, a son and a daughter named Ohm and Aya, in 2023.
