While announcing his death in a December 2021Instagram post, Swank reflected on what she learned from being his sole caretaker.
“In this physical loss, as devastating as it is, I was awakened to the truest sense of living again. It helped me better understand the circle of life and where we come from and where we go back to, which has connected me back to my truest self. It helped me forgive, to move past the things that hold me back, in whatever form that takes each day. As well as being deeply connected to the Ultimate Source and therefore, my Dad, always,” her caption read.
Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, also welcomed their twins, daughter Aya and son Ohm, inApril 2023. On Valentine’s Day, Swank finally shared her 10-month-old children’s names witha picture of them on a beach.
