“This is something that I’ve been wanting for a long time, and my next thing is I’m gonna be a mom,” Hilary said. “And not just of one but of two.”

Hilary also said that her new position at the Alaska Daily is “fun,” in addition to the new arrivals and the newborns. In September 2022, she told Entertainment Weekly that she finds it fascinating to observe Eileen’s transformation from a celebrated New York writer to a jaded Alaskan reporter.

“She is going to get to the bottom of the truth one way or another,” Hilary said of her character. “No one’s going to stop her from getting there.”

“And I love that she does her homework; she knows her rights, and if she doesn’t, she quickly learns them,” she continued. “It’s kind of fun to see this award-winning journalist go up to Alaska, and … she just kind of shakes it all up. It’s something I admire in people — people who don’t give up, who persevere.” Do have a look at The Kardashian kids 10 most expensive purchases!

Who Was She Earlier Married to?

Hilary and Philip appear to be extremely happy with parenthood, but he’s not the first man the Million Dollar Baby actress has wed. Chad Lowe, with whom she had worked in the 1997 film Quiet Days In Hollywood, was her first husband. After marrying in 1997, the couple announced their separation in January 2006 and formalised their divorce in November 2007.

Hilary said at the time that “other factors” contributed to their breakup, but that the actor’s substance misuse problems were a key part. “When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he’d keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid,” She explained her side of the story to Vanity Fair after the breakup.

In addition to Chad’s sobriety and forthcomingness regarding the divorce immediately after it became public, we also note that he got sober before the two were officially separated.  “The one thing I do want to set straight is that I’m so grateful to Hilary for her support of me in a very difficult time in my life three and a half years ago.

What hurt me more than anything is that people would think that she wasn’t there for me, and she was,” he told Extra at the time, per CBS News. Chad remarried Kim Painter in 2010 after their divorce and the couple now has three children.
