Hillary Swank Tells About Her Marriage

Hillary Swank says that her marriage with Chad Lowe, also an actor, broke into pieces. She maintains that one of the reasons for this was because of her ex-husband’s problem with substance abuse.

Both Hillary and Chad decided on ending their marriage. They did separate previously, last January. She claims that she herself was surprised and very shocked upon hearing about her ex-husband’s addiction and that was included in her woes.

Says Hillary, “I don’t want to make it seem like that’s the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open; it made me look at thigns a lot deeper. It’s an enormous obstacle to overcome and he’s doing it. He’s living a sober life. I know how difficult it is and I’m really proud of his sobriety.”

Both Hillary and Chad are 38 years old. They were married last September 1997. Hillary is opened that she did initiate the divorce.
