Hilary Swank: Chad Lowe Had Substance-Abuse Problem



Date: July 05, 2006

Dazzling double Oscar-winner Hilary Swank dumped hubby Chad Lowe in part over a "substance-abuse" problem he's been battling for three years, she reveals in an explosive magazine interview.

The beautiful tomboy tells Vanity Fair she was shocked to learn about Lowe's addiction problem.

"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what" Swank tells Vanity Fair in the August editions set to hit newsstands today.

"When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid.

"He's sober now. 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 things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."

Lowe, 38, and his managers could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday.

Although Lowe's struggle touched off their marriage's downhill slide, Swank said she's proud of her soon-to-be ex's three years of sobriety.
