Early life
Lowe was born in Dayton, Ohio,[1] the son of Barbara Lynn Wilson (née Hepler; 1939–2003), a teacher, and Charles Davis Lowe, a trial lawyer.[3] His parents divorced when Lowe was young.[4] He has an older brother, actor Rob Lowe, and two half brothers from the second marriages of his parents, the producer Micah Dyer (maternal) and Justin Lowe (paternal). Lowe was baptized into the Episcopal church.[5] He is of German, English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry.[6][7]
Lowe was raised in a "traditional midwestern setting"[5] in Dayton, attending Oakwood Junior High School, before moving to the Point Dume area of Malibu, California with his mother and brother. He attended Santa Monica High School, the same high school as fellow actors Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn, Chris Penn, and Robert Downey, Jr.[4]
Personal life
While filming Quiet Days in Hollywood, Lowe met and married actress Hilary Swank on September 28, 1997.[8] On January 9, 2006, Lowe and Swank announced their separation,[8] and in May 2006, they announced their intention to divorce.[9] The divorce was finalized on November 1, 2007.[10] Swank infamously forgot to thank Lowe during her acceptance speech after winning her first Academy Award in 2000 (for Boys Don't Cry).[11] Upon winning her second Oscar in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby, Lowe was the first person she thanked.[12]
On January 19, 2007, a representative announced that Lowe was dating producer Kim Painter.[13] Lowe and Painter's daughter Mabel Painter Lowe was born on May 16, 2009.[14] Lowe and Painter were married on August 28, 2010, in a small ceremony in Los Angeles.[15] They welcomed their second daughter, Fiona Hepler Lowe, on November 15, 2012.[16] Hepler was Lowe’s late mother’s maiden name.[17]
