[edit] Personal life
Lowe was born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of Barbara (née Hepler), a teacher, and Chuck Lowe, a lawyer.[1] He was married to actress Hilary Swank between 1997 and 2006. Swank infamously forgot to thank Lowe during her acceptance speech after winning her first Academy Award in 2000 (for Boys Don't Cry), and she spent nearly every public appearance afterward making up for it. Upon winning her second Oscar in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby, Lowe was the first person she thanked. On January 9, 2006, Lowe and Swank announced their separation, and in May of the same year, they announced their intention to divorce. Lowe is an avid cyclist and idolizes the United Nations. On January 19, 2007, his rep announced that Lowe is dating producer Kim Painter.[2]
