In a statement issued by Swank's manager, the Hollywood couple announced they have decided to separate after eight years of marriage. The statement read, "Hilary and Chad have decided to separate, but they are hopeful they'll be able to get through this tough time."
Swank and Lowe met while working together on the low-budget film "Quiet Days in Hollywood." Swank and Lowe married on September 28, 1997 after what's best described as a whirlwind romance.
Swank's career has propelled her into the spotlight while Lowe has remained more in the background. The difference between the two actors star status has often been rumored to be the cause of tension between the couple, although there's no official word as to the reason behind the separation.
