Chad Lowe: I'll Always Love Hilary Swank
Chad Lowe says he was upset his ex, Hilary Swank, talked publicly his substance-abuse problems, but he'll always love her.
"It has been a tough year and not something I expected. It's very humbling," Lowe tells TV's Extra in an interview airing Monday.
"I was disappointed that the details of our relationship became public," he says of Swank's interview in Vanity Fair over the summer, in which she talked about the toll his substance abuse problems took on their marriage.
But he admits that her comments "were absolutely true, absolutely true. I've been sober for three and a half years and very grateful for that."
Lowe, 38, and Swank, 32, announced their split in January after eight years of marriage and, after attempts at reconciliation, told PEOPLE in May there were divorcing.
More than anything, Lowe says, he was worried the Vanity Fair revelations would make Swank look like an uncaring wife. "I am so grateful to Hilary for her support of me in a very difficult time in my life three and a half years ago," he says. "What hurt me more than anything is that people would think that she wasn't there for me and she was."
He adds: "She was the love of my life, and that's not something you just shut off. I will always love her."
The actor also says he is "very open" to the idea of finding love again. "I take great solace in the fact that I know I am capable of really deep love," he says.
Lowe is currently promoting Beautiful Ohio, his first feature film as a director. He also joins the cast of 24 for the upcoming season.

I never understood what promoted her to talk about his substance abuse so publically. Even if it was the cause of the downfall of their marriage, it's not her place to discuss it publically. That's a real betrayal IMO.

I loved them, I mean, it almost hurt me when they split up. I met her right before she blew up, right after she did Boys Don't Cry and she was so human, kind, normal. But yes, I never understood what made her reveal such intimacies about Chad. It was HIS issue, not hers. Yes, it affected their marriage, but it was such a private thing...why do that? 
I lost a little bit of respect when I read the interview.
