According to the Reader’s Digest, Swank and her ex-husband, Chad Lowe, officially announced their divorce last May. Many fans of the couple felt that Swank had become too big a star to stay with her husband. Swank, however, denies those stories.
The 32 year-old actress explained, "Millions of men and women fall in love, get married, then get divorced. If it makes someone realize they’re in an unhealthy relationship that is making them both unhappy, then it’s not the end of the world."
Swank added that she relied heavily on her friends and family to help her through the tough times. The actress is now dating John Campisi, one of her agents at the Creative Artists Agency.
Swank is happy, but may have some health problems, she added, "I have some problems with elevated mercury in my system. I wasn’t eating meat when I was filming Million Dollar Baby but had to put on 19 pounds of muscle."
