Ten months after giving birth to twins, actress Hilary Swank has revealed their names and officially introduced them to the world.
On Wednesday, Feb. 14, the Academy award-winner shared a new photo of her twins enjoying a day at the beach, their backs turned to the camera as they sat contently looking at the ocean while wearing adorable, matching sun hats.
"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 captioned the too-cute-for-words Instagram photo.
"Thanks for being here!! Happy Valentine’s Day. P.S. Who else has babies that think sand is edible?"
In the sand behind her twins, Swank wrote their names: Aya and Ohm.

Days later, and as Swank allude to in her post, the actress announced her new partnership with HealthyBaby via a People exclusive, with the goal of "enhancing maternal health and making baby care easier."
“As a new mom, I’ve found my highest and most fulfilling purpose. Like any parent, I wanted the absolute best for my twins, and my research led me to HealthyBaby’s diapers,” Swank said in a statement announcing the collaboration.
Along with the partnership announcement, Swank shared a photo featuring her babies' faces—the world's first official look at Swank's twins.
Swank became a first-time mom in April, 2023, when she welcomed Aya and Ohm to the world alongside her husband, Philip Schneider.
