Hilary's birthday would have been extra special this year, as it was the first as a mother. The star welcomed twins - a boy and a girl - in April - with her husband Philip Schneider. 

The couple have not yet revealed the names of their children, and only a handful of photos have been shared by Hilary on social media.

The four-month old twins are being raised at the couple's gorgeous family home in Colorado, which they built just before their arrival. Hilary opened up about the dream property to Architectural Digest shortly after they built the home.

"We found this 168-acre piece of land that was just magical. It just called to us and we couldn't stop thinking about it. It was great that we were in the middle of nature. We can't see our neighbors, no one for miles—we just had [it all] right there," she told the publication.

"I'm so happy to share it with you and with America right now, and this is something that I've been wanting for a long time now. My next thing is I'm going to be a mom," she announced, adding: "And not just of one, but of two."

Hilary and Philip got engaged in 2016 during a holiday in Colorado - witnessed only by Hilary's beloved dogs - but kept their betrothal private. 

Along with balancing motherhood, Hilary has also been busy promoting her upcoming new film, Original Angels. Original Angels will be out in theatres on October 13, and hugely inspired Hilary.

The movie is based on a true story, and the poignant film sees Hilary lead as Sharon, a struggling hairdresser who begins to help a recently widowed father, Ed (Alan Ritchson), raise his two young daughters. 

Ed's youngest daughter becomes critically ill and is in need of a liver transplant, which sees Sharon come in to help get the entire community together to raise money for the mounting medical bills.
