Hilary and her husband an entrepreneur, have been married for four years. They wed in a redwood grove in Carmel, California, in 2018, two years after they met on a blind date in 2016.
“It was a blind date set up by actor Misha Collins’s wife, Vicki, and another close friend, Jean. We met at 10 a.m. and parted ways at 11 p.m.,” Hilary said of their first date, a bottomless brunch. “We clearly enjoyed our time!”
Hilary was previously married to fellow actor Chad Lowe, from 1997 to 2007.
The mum-to-be stars in the new TV drama Alaska Daily. In it, she portrays an investigative journalist seeking a fresh start in Anchorage.
Hilary has won two lead actress Oscars, for Boys Don’t Cry in 1999 and Million Dollar Baby in 2004.
