With Hilary and Philip anticipating the arrival of a new member of their family, you might be wondering who Hilary's husband is. From how he met his actress wife to his career, here's everything we know about Philip Schneider.
Who is Hilary Swank's husband Philip Schneider?
Philip Schneider is a social venture entrepreneur – essentially, a businessman that tries to do good. He's not massively in the public eye, but does attend some red carpet events with his actress wife.
He's been married to Hilary, who is known for cult classic shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, since 2018.
How old is Philip Schneider?
Philip is 52 years old, so the same age as his beau Hilary.
How did Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider meet?
The couple actually met on a blind date, after being set up by friends. Hilary shared the heartwarming story in an interview with Vogue magazine back in 2018: '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. We clearly enjoyed our time.'
With sparks flying from the first date, it's no surprise that the couple got engaged a year and a half later while on holiday in Colorado. 'We don’t know why waited that long!' Hilary told Vogue. 'We stumbled upon a beautiful sanctuary deep in the mountains. It had a stunning waterfall that cascades down to rustic cabins built in the 1800s surrounded by beautiful pines and big skies. One evening, Philip dropped to his knee in front of the waterfall and proposed – he sweetly made sure my dogs were nearby so they could bear witness.'
In August 2018, the pair officially tied the knot in Carmel, California. Hilary described the day as a 'dream come true'.
Has Philip Schneider been married before?
Not that we're aware of, it doesn't appear that Philip has married anyone before Hilary. Hilary was previously married to fellow actor Chad Lowe, who she met while filming Quiet Days in Hollywood. The former couple's divorce was finalised in November 2007.
Do Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider have children?
Hilary and Philip share two children together, twins Aya and Ohm, who were born in April 2023. They have a third child on the way. Hilary recently announced she is pregnant and alluded to a December due date.
Hilary has spoken about becoming a mother later in life; she became a first time mum at 48. 'I’m a very different parent than I would’ve been, even in my early 40s,' she told Women's Health magazine last year. 'I’m much more patient. I’m much more understanding. I am much more, I think, interested in a different way than I would’ve been.'
