Hilary Swank has unveiled a new photograph offering fans their initial complete glimpse of her twins.
In a press release on Feb. 16, Swank introduced Aya and Ohm while announcing her recent appointment as chief innovation officer of HealthyBaby, a baby care brand.
The image captures the actor cradling her son and daughter, both born in April 2023 to Swank and her husband Philip Schneider.
Swank unveiled her twins' names for the first time in a heartwarming Valentine's Day 2024 post. She posted a picture of Aya and Ohm dressed in vibrant bathing suits and matching wide-brim hats while seated on a sandy beach.
The names Aya and Ohm were creatively displayed behind them using what seemed to be green rocks.
“I have a busy week of talk shows ahead where I’ll be sharing about my new film and a fun partnership, but I figured what better day to share the names of my two little loves with you all first,” Swank wrote. “Thanks for being here!!”
She added, “Happy Valentine’s Day. P.S. Who else has babies that think sand is edible?”

Hilary Swank gives birth
On April 9, 2023, the "Million Dollar Baby" star announced that she had given birth to a son and a daughter.

What is the meaning behind Hilary Swank's kids' names?
In a recent interview with "Entertainment Tonight" published on Feb. 16, Swank shared the significance behind her twins' distinctive names.
“I met a Syrian refugee when I went to Lebanon, a young girl who... had been through so much. She was so brave and so courageous and so full of light, especially under her circumstances and what they were, how they were living, where they were moving,” Swank told the outlet. “My husband and I were like, ‘If we ever have a daughter, I think we should name her after Aya.’”
Explaining the choice of Ohm, she stated, “Ohm is considered the first universal sound and the sound that unites people,” and she felt it was fitting for her baby boy.
Swank also expressed how parenthood has positively transformed her, emphasizing the increase in joy, love, and fun in her life.
“It is the most wonderful blessing and I’m so grateful for these two little miracles,” she said. “Every day is something new.”
