Hilary Swank bared her baby bump – and everything else – in a nude maternity shoot before welcoming her twin babies earlier this month.
“Thank you @brianbowensmith for capturing one of my favourite moments in time, being pregnant (next to having my babies earth-side and meeting and marrying my husband),” the actress captioned a throwback pregnancy photo via Instagram.
“I was 27½ weeks here,” the 48-year-old said.
She concluded by thanking the photographer for his “extraordinary talent and steadfast friendship”, Page Six reports.
In the naked black-and-white snap, Swank cradled her belly with one hand and covered her chest with the other while smiling down at her stomach.
The stunning social media uploads come one week after Swank’s twin son and daughter made their online debut.
“It wasn’t easy,” the new mum captioned an April 9 post with her infants. “But boy (and girl!) was it worth it.”
After wishing her followers a happy Easter, the Oscar winner concluded by calling parenthood “pure heaven”.
Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, have yet to show the babies’ faces or share their names.
When the couple wed in 2018, the Million Dollar Baby star realised she was in the “right relationship” to start a family.
Swank, who was previously married to director Chad Lowe from 1997 to 2007, told Extra in October 2022 that “all the elements needed to come together” before conceiving their twins.
Although the Golden Globe winner endured “double the hormones [and] double the sickness” while pregnant, she gushed to the outlet about the “nice” experience.
“It’s just something I thought about even as a young girl,” she said. “It’s something that was on my mind.”

Swank expressed a similar sentiment in her pregnancy reveal onGood Morning America that same month.
“I can’t believe it,” she told viewers. “This is something that I’ve been wanting for a long time.”
