In January 2019, Hilary Swank joined her co-star Clara Rugaard at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival to promote their new Netflix film I Am Mother.

Just half a year after marrying Philip Schneider, she looked chic in black boots paired with a patterned trenchcoat by Paolo Sebastian.

In an interview with USA Today, she shared how caring for her father for three years after he underwent a risky lung transplant changed how she dated.

“It’s almost a great way to weed out people,” says Swank, who married social venture entrepreneur Philip Schneider on August 18, 2018, after two years of dating. Just a few months before meeting her future husband, Swank called off her engagement to professional tennis player Ruben Torres.

“‘Wait, you live with your dad?’ The reaction to that helps you move through things faster.” She and Schneider, who met on a blind date, have “that same ethos and belief in being there for your family,” she says. “That started it off right.”

“It was a blind date set up by actor Misha Collins’s wife Vicki and another close friend Jean. We met at 10:00 a.m. and parted ways at 11:00 p.m.,” she told Vogue in April 2018. “We clearly enjoyed our time!”

Hilary Swank married Philip Schneider in a gorgeous woodland ceremony in California’s Saint Lucia Preserve. A social venture entrepreneur, he was reportedly born in 1973 in California. That makes him about a year older than his wife, who was born in 1974. They do not have any children.

She was previously married to Chad Lowe, an American actor who has a net worth of $4 million dollars. They married on September 28, 1997, and finalized their divorce on November 1, 2007.

In July 2015, we were saddened to hear that Hilary Swank was scaling down on her acting opportunities, but even more, saddened to hear that her father had to undergo a lung transplant and that she was his sole caretaker.

The actress, who is a strong advocate of family, still managed to smile at the Sports Humanitarian of the Year Awards.

Hilary announced that she would probably regret not spending this time with her father, and even put up her New York apartment for rent at $20,000 a month.

The then 40-year-old actress, who had an entire episode of The Office dedicated to her looks, took a break from caring for her father and showed up on the red carpet in a dress by Diane von Furstenberg and heels by Michael Kors.

The actress was taking a break, but she had not lost touch with her stylists. Hilary wore a reworked Michael Kors Doris on the red carpet.
