How it unfolded
The October 14 post borrowed the language of a film announcement. "A lot of people have been asking what project I'm doing next, this one releases in December," Swank wrote, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On October 15, Telegraaf described the couple's twins as 3 years old. CBS Top Stories reported that Swank said she is due in December, making the timing in her caption explicit.
There is a discrepancy in the age given by the coverage. Most reports describe Swank as 52, including CBS Top Stories, while nu.nl calls her 53. DIE WELT also framed the video as prompting speculation about another baby, rather than reporting a confirmed pregnancy.
Where it stands
The supplied coverage overwhelmingly reports that Swank is expecting her third child, with December given as the due month. Fanpage likewise reports a December birth is expected, three years after the twins.
For now, the news is a family announcement delivered through Swank's own Instagram post. The provided reports do not give an exact due date or further details about the baby.
