How’d She Do It? 52 Year Old Hillary Swank Announces She’s Pregnant With Third Child! · I Do, Part 2

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, October 15th, and she
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: has two kids and two Best Actress Oscars. And she's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: about to add to one of those tallies, at least
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: very soon. And with that, welcome to this episode of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. And when I say that the actress
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is a 52-year-old, you might think, okay, then she's going
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to get another Oscar.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously, it's another award.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's not. This is a This is a cool story.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It is incredible. Hilary Swank has announced she is pregnant
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: with her third child at the age of 52.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Does that have to be a part of a headline
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that Hilary Swank is expecting a third child? Does her
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: age have to be in there?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. It does. Okay. Absolutely. Look, I'm 53. You and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I have, oh, we have talked ad nauseum about how
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: wonderful it would have been.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Annoyingly so. Could have been.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to have had a child together. We would have
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: loved it, but that ship has sailed. And yes, age
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is the number one reason. Also, the fact that I'm
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a cancer survivor also plays heavily into it. But yes,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: so this is hopeful to so many women who think,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'm out of the baby-making business. I am no longer
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: able to have a child once you reach the age of,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: sometimes people would say, 40, 42. Yes, you are not
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: guaranteed to be able to. Physically, biologically, for your eggs
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to actually be in good enough shape to actually have
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: your own child biologically. And then to carry that child
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: requires a certain amount of hormones and all sorts of things.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Isn't it fair, though? Youth isn't a guarantee either. It
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean just because you're 28 or 31 that you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: won't have complications or problems or difficulty or it takes time. So, yes,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: robes to see. And I went through, I just did
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a quick Google search and just put her name in.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And look, the news articles and the headline, Hillary Swank, comma, 52.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Hillary Swank, comma, 52. Expecting third. Hillary Swank, 52. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: all in the headline.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal. And look, I think it's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: great headline, but it just needs to have some asterisks
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: attached to it for a lot of young women who
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think are hopeful and excited to think that they
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: can focus on themselves, that they can focus on their careers,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that they can kind of get their ducks in a row,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: live their life, get their party girl spirit out of them,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, before they have to start thinking about
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: having kids. And look, I remember in my 20s feeling
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the pressure, like you better start having kids. If you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: want kids, you better do it before you're 30 or
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you are going to have problems. The chances of your
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: children having issues go up, all of those things. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it's wonderful to think that that pressure can be lifted
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: slightly for women in their 20s.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: All of that you just said is still true today.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: We just have better tools that could help women wait
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: longer and be healthier and make it possible, I guess, though, Rose,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but the challenges you faced or the stuff that was
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in your head when you were in your 20s, how
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: much of that stuff has... Are women having those conversations
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: now in their 30s, where you were getting warnings in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your 20s? I think so. How is it shifting?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I do. I think women, especially, I know this just
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because of my own daughters and their conversations, but yes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I think there is a general thought now among younger
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: women that they can wait before they even have to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: start thinking about it until their 30s and 40s.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Whereas before, I was told in my 20s, at 27,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: your fertility rate starts dropping every year. And that hasn't changed.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That's all still true. That's still true. But look, the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: reality is it's not guaranteed that you're going to be
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: able to, and you might be facing years of heartache
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and heartbreak and miscarriages and financial struggles of having to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pay for all of these operations that are timely, costly,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and painful. Emotionally, people talk about just all the things
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that it takes, all of the extra steps that have
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to be made oftentimes to have a child at this
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: age aren't necessarily considered, and they should just be at
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: least outlined or acknowledged.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The fact that it still remains, and Hilary Swank's story
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is a perfect example. It's personal for everybody. Nobody can
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: tell you what to do. And if it worked for them,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: because it worked for Hilary Swank, it might not work
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: for you. We just don't know. This is so personal.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: All you can do is give everybody the most information,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the best information you can, And Hilary Swank is helping
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: in that regard, at least.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And that's a really good way to put it. And so, yes,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Hilary Swank, by the way, so yes, pregnant at 52.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: She has three-year-old twins that were born in 2023, Aya and.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Om.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And so she got pregnant when she was 47 for
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the first time, gave birth at 48, and now is
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: pregnant at 52. But here is what she has been
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: very open and honest about. She froze her eggs at
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the age of 37.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You've always said this to me, babe. If you hear
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that a woman that's 50 had a baby, carried the baby,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: those eggs were frozen.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They were frozen or they're a donor egg. And that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: is a very big, amazing, awesome, wonderful thing that younger
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: women will provide. But yes, I've had several friends... And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the way it's been described to me is you literally
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: go through a book of baby pictures. They don't have
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the women who donated the egg, their adult faces. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: see their baby faces. And then you can see if
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: someone looks a little bit the way you did when
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you were a baby. You choose that woman's eggs for
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: whatever reason, but a lot of it is the physical
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: attribute because, yes, that child will resemble you and it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: will feel closer to a biological match. I would love.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: To look through that book.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I wonder if it's available online or something. That's fascinating,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known that if I didn't have friends
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: who went through it. And I thought that is actually
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a really smart way to do it. If that matters
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to you. For some people, it might not matter. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for people who want to have, especially when people are
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: different ethnicities, which was the case with some of my friends,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: they wanted to have a baby that matched their husband's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: DNA with someone who had similar DNA to them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What would we pick? What kid would we be looking for?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And again, it's all the mothers. The mothers. The donor
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: egg mothers.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, because I would need a donor egg, so I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: would have to pick, like, I'm 92% German, so that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: would just be, like, a part of it maybe, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: just you want to have a similar DNA makeup just
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so it's a similar blend.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: They don't tell you the background. You're just strictly looking
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: at pictures.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, no, they're pictures, and then, no, you can see
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of times where they went to school. You
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: can see, like, so you can see, like, intellect, all
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: sorts of things.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But ethnicity, they'll tell you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, and sperm donors, same thing. You can literally pick.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: On the other side of it, you know, just the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: attributes and all of that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But baby pictures are the same. You're going through guys'
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: baby pictures.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I don't know anyone who
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: did that, but I would think it was probably the same.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Well, God, what would we be looking for? Some little
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: German African-American kid with curly blonde hair and crazy eyes? Right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so she's got these twins. It was actually
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: really cute how she made the announcement on Instagram. It
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: took some time. It was creative.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: This was well done.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the family, it's just cute. The twins and the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: husband all had glow sticks that made them look like
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: stick figures dancing in the dark. And then she comes up.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: with a little glow stick, like a baby stick figure
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: on her belly dancing. And it was really cute. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: her caption was great about the baby's going to be due. Yes,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: everyone's been asking me what my new project is. Well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the release date is December. It was very sweet. So
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool. But she's talked about choosing to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: an older mom and I, and she talked about it
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a lot because this is inspirational for a lot of
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: young women. And she said, I always knew I wanted kids.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And that's why she froze her eggs. And a lot
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of women do it earlier than that. But she said,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I always knew I wanted kids. I wasn't planning what
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that would look like. So I know it's different for everyone.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But for me, if I had had a kid in
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: my 20s or 30s, I think I'd be a much
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: different parent than I am now.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's true.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I would be a much different parent now. In fact,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: it makes me sad because I know I would be
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a better parent now. There's no question.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, of course. We all learn. I would have been
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a better student. I've been a better dad. I've been
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a better mate. I've been a better... Journalists, all kinds
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of stuff, given what we know now, but this is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: why we're here and we're learning. Do I have right?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Help me here, babe. She froze her eggs at 37.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Is that about the age? That was my question.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's a little older because, look, I think they've changed
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the age from geriatric pregnancy to advanced maternal age pregnancy.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But after the age of 35, doctors do take different
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: or more, just they take a more careful look at
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you and they care for you slightly differently because your
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: eggs are older. There's a higher chance of complications after
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the age of 35. So yeah, she froze her eggs
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: at 37, but certainly her eggs at 37. were far
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: superior to her eggs at 47.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But is the recommendation usually that women do it before
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that age?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Before 35, yes. I mean, that would be the recommendation.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: But look, I think before 40 is very common too,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: because people don't know what they want. And that too
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: is expensive to freeze your eggs. It's painful. It's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: very long length of time. I know several people who've
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: done it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But most women in their early 20s, even late 20s,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: most of us aren't at our peak earning potential to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: be able to do something like this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Correct. And I think you're always thinking, I'm going to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: meet the guy, I'm going to meet the person who
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to want to share my life with, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'll wait for them. And so you're just, you're waiting,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you're waiting, you're waiting. And then all of a sudden
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you look up and you're like, holy crap, I'm 40.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And dating sucks in New York.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And I can't find anybody. But when we come back,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to put this into perspective for you because
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Hilary Swank is just the latest. in a very surprisingly
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: long list of celebrities who've had babies at 50 plus.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. And a big
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: congratulations to Hilary Swank, who is expecting her third baby
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in December at the age of 52. That is so remarkable. Now,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the number of women having their first baby when they
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: are over 35... has increased by more than 270% over
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the last four decades. That is wild. But I had
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: both of my babies. I was 29 when I had Ava.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I had just turned 33 when I had Annie. How
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: old were you when you had your kids? You were young.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you were pregnant. Yes, but I was still
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in college initially for the first, right? Sabine, I was 34, 35. 34, 35.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: When she was born.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So that's probably around the age I should have been
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: having kids and more appropriate. But yes, it's, again, you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: know what? To Hilary Swank's point, wasn't ready in her 30s.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I wasn't ready maybe even in my 30s. Yeah. Right?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Got there and things are great now, but I didn't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: know what I was doing.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, no. And I actually think, because yes,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I started to become, I became a mom at 29.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I would have loved to have become a mom like
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: at 42. I feel like that is when I had
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: gone through enough of life. I had enough perspective, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I was so hell bent on my career. It was a,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it was a struggle. And Hilary Swank talks about how
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: she was able to throw herself completely into her work.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And she won two Academy Awards. And that's remarkable.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Is it because she wasn't sweating it? Because I got
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: my eggs hanging out here. I don't need to.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: It probably didn't hurt for sure. And look, I can
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: imagine like the mom guilt I felt for the majority
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: of my career still haunts me because you have to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: make tough choices and it's not easy. And so, yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: to be able to focus on your career solely and
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: then have kids, that's what a gift that is. But
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It's expensive. The decision to give birth after 50, they
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: say can cost as much as $ 25, 000 to $ 30, 000 with
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: egg donation for a single successful IVF attempt. That's what
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: most women have to do when they use surrogates because
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: their bodies just aren't capable of not only conceiving a child,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: but keeping a child and delivering a healthy baby. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: fact that Hilary Swank was able to use her frozen eggs...
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and her 52-year-old body was able to receive that is
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: incredible through IVF. But it was expensive.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, that sounds incredibly pricey. It's expensive. And you talked
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: about the, I may well just try to Google it here,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The first step, if a 29-year-old woman wants to go
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in and just freeze her eggs for now, forget the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: process later, but just that egg retrieval and storage.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: That's thousands of dollars.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's tons, right?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you have monthly fees, like storage fees
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: for the eggs. So, yes, this is an expensive endeavor
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to be able to have a baby much later in life.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people in their 50s, when they
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: make headlines, they've adopted. But those who have actually had their–
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Janet Jackson, that was the one that really I remember
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: at 50. In 2017, she shocked her fans by saying,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: here's my son.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it a magazine cover?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It was a magazine, and she looked gorgeous and stunning.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Naomi Campbell, 50, same thing, supermodel, surprised the world in 2021.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: At the age of 50, Naomi Campbell had a daughter,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: which is remarkable. I'm trying to say, okay. Oh, Sophie B.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Hawkins at 50. She's a singer. She conceived her second
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: child using an egg. She froze when she was 31.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: That is pretty cool. I mean, think about it. She actually,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it's actually using an embryo she froze when she was 31.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: But she had the baby at what age? 50.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That, I mean, that's wild.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: So they store, they'll keep.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: For 19 years.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Damn, that is impressive science.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: She had an embryo frozen. Like that's so wild. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: imagine being that kid and realizing I actually was created
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: 19 years before I was born. That is wild.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Do you tell your kid you sat in a freezer
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: for 19 years? It's good to have your thought out.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why you don't like skiing. It's just PTSD.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Can we move to Florida? It's cold up there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: That is wild. Helen Morris is a TV producer. You
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: might know her husband, Martin Scorsese. She gave birth to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a girl when she was 52 and he was 56.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. I didn't realize Annie Leibovitz existed. 52 when
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: she gave birth to her first child. I didn't know that. 52.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: She had a hell of a resume by then at 52,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: didn't she?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And then she had twin girls via surrogate four years later.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: But still, think about it. So at 56, she's taking
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: care of twins. That is wild to me. And then, again,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks adopt in their 50s, and that's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: wonderful and beautiful. But I'm just impressed with women who
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: give birth. Bridget Nielsen, 54. danish model and actress had
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: her fifth child daughter frida.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: In 2018 yeah she carried that those.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Are the wild wild stories but it the birth rate
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in people aged 45 to 49 has risen 12 percent
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: in the past few years so look this is something
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that is we're going to see more and more of
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: these headlines are going to keep coming and i do
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: think it's it is inspirational and It is wonderful. It's
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: just something to keep in mind that it is going
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to be costly in a lot of ways.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: This is successful and we're celebrating. I mean, how many
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: women does it get more complicated when you're 48, 49, 50?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many stories? Are there a lot out
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: there that women do attempt this?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And it goes... doesn't go the way they want it to.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I've had plenty of friends where that has happened too. Yes.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And that should be remembered. The average age for menopause
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: is 51.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: When a woman goes through menopause, you no longer can...
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: can obviously have a child. So just keep that in mind.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: The average age for menopause is 51. Some people start
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that process in their forties and it makes it incredibly
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: difficult to get pregnant. So fertility decreases rapidly through your
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: thirties and even much further in your forties. And it's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: largely extinguished by 45. That is what the medical experts,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the consensus is your ability to naturally conceive your fertility
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is largely extinguished. That's the phrase they used by the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: age of 45. So that is why when you hear
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Hilary Swank is pregnant at 52, that is a hell
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of a headline.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And congrats to her. It was a very fun way
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: she announced it. And obviously we're all fans of hers
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: over the years. And she's a very, she's a cool
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: celebrity that kind of just does her thing.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: She's private. Yeah. You don't hear about her. There's no controversy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: But this is exciting news she wanted to share. All right,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: moving on. This is well done. So congrats to her.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And with that, everyone. To the family, I should say. Yes,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to the whole family. To the husband as well who contributed.
• 17:25
