A few days ago, we had some early excerpts from Hilary Swank?s Hello Magazine interview. Hilary talked a lot about how she felt ?no spark? for her current boyfriend, John Campisi, when they first started spending time together. Hilary said, ?What?s interesting is, there was never anything, it wasn?t until we were well into the dissipation of our respective relationships ? going through something so difficult at the same time, we became very good friends. We became closer and closer. It was so unexpected. We both recognized that if we were going to take the relationship to the next step, we could no longer work together.? It seemed like a bunch of crap - considering Campisi was married at the time, and a father of a young son, Sam.
Back in 2006, there were rumors that Hilary and John had an affair, and that was the reason his marriage split up. Hilary and John had been spotted going on ?dates? as early as April and May of 2006, and it wasn?t until the fall of 2006 that John finally filed for divorce. Keep that in mind as you read the rest of the interview excerpts. By the way, the interview took place while Campisi, Hilary, Hilary?s family and Campisi?s son were all vacationing in Tuscany. It makes me uncomfortable to write this, but it really seems like Hilary is using Campisi?s son as a prop in this interview:
Hilary clearly adores Sam [Campisi?s son] and evidently the feeling is mutual, seeing the two snuggle up. ?Oh, Sam?s a little sweetheart,? Hilary enthuses. ?he had a wonderful time in Italy. And he loved that the dogs were with us.?
Family is Hilary?s top priority, so it?s no surprise that a tight-knit group of loved ones convened for this dream holiday.
Hilary seems really happy and John, 41, is clearly a large part of that. An agent who represents Hollywood writers and directors, he once worked on projects for Hilary?s production company, ?He was part of that team, and that is how we met,? she explains.
Initially, there were no sparks as both were emerging from broken relationships. For Hilary, it was the end of her ten-year-marriage to actor Chad Lowe? they?ve stayed good friends and she has met Mabel, Chad?s new baby with Kim Painter.
For Hilary and John, seeing their friendship evolve into something deeper took them both by surprise. In 2006, the couple were spotted in Rome, In 2007, Hilary confirmed they were in love.
Hello: Hilary, you?ve been romantically involved with John for a few years. Was there any spark of romantic interest?
Hilary: What?s interesting is, there was never anything. It wasn?t until we were well into the dissipation of our respective relationships. Going through something so difficult at the same time, we became very close friends. We became closer and closer. It was so unexpected. We both recognized that if we were going to take the relationship to the next step, we could no longer work together.
Hello: Any wedding plans?
Hilary: No.
Hello: Tell us about your relationship with John?s six-year-old Son Sam?
Hilary: Oh, wonderful. I love spending time with Sam, and I love when we can all go on vacation together. Last year we went to Italy and Greece. He?s been a wonderful traveler. He has been many places.

When you?re an Oscar-winning movie star and you get questions about your boyfriend?s son, shouldn’t you simply say something like, ?I love that kid, I adore him, I?m blessed to have in my life, and that?s all I?m saying.? Why is she trying to convince us that she and Sam have this amazing relationship? To me, it seems like a very passive-aggressive move aimed at Campisi?s ex-wife. But that?s just the way my mind works - she could be totally sincere. It just bothers me when a man?s new girlfriend is all over his child - it?s the one thing that bothers me about Gisele Bundchen too. I like Gisele and everything, but I think she?s guilty of using Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady?s son like a prop too. Am I being too judgy?

I hope I?m not alone, but I have very mixed feelings about Hilary Swank. On one side, I really like her. She?s a gifted actress with a hard-scrabble background, who has worked her ass off in an industry that rewards people like Gwyneth Paltrow. Swank has received the Best Actress Oscar not once, but twice? which shows she has a significant fan base within Hollywood. People who work with her always talk about her great work ethic, and her lack of affectation.
On the other hand, I tend to think Hilary is a little over-rated. While she is a gifted dramatic actress, I think she sucks when she does anything else, like comedy or thriller or action. And then there?s everything with Hilary?s personal life - the 9-year marriage to Chad Lowe, the struggle with his addiction, and her 2006 post-split Vanity Fair interview in which she called out Chad?s addictions as the sole reason for their split. While I think Hilary was being honest, the whole thing seemed cheap and without class, in my opinion.
Soon after Hilary and Chad split, she was spotted going out on dates with her agent, John Campisi, who was married at the time. I actually didn’t know that before today - CB just schooled me. I always though John was just some nice, normal, average-looking guy, but it seems he and Hilary totally had some kind of affair. His wife filed for divorce soon after pictures of John and Hilary were taken while they were on some kind of romantic holiday during the summer of 2006. They?ve been dating quietly for more than three years now - and Hilary is opening up about the relationship in a new interview:
After her 9-year marriage to Chad Lowe ended in 2006, a bummed Hilary Swank needed someone to lean on for support, and that person just happened to be her agent.
Although initially there was “no spark” between the 35-year-old Oscar winnter and John Campisi, in time it became clear there was something there. “What’s interesting is, there was never anything, it wasn’t until we were well into the dissipation of our respective relationships — going through something so difficult at the same time, we became very good friends.”
After they began dating, they opted to nix their professional relationship.
“We became closer and closer. It was so unexpected. We both recognized that if we were going to take the relationship to the next step, we could no longer work together.”
In the few years since they’ve been quietly dating, Swank has grown close to Campisi’s son, Sam, and now is itching to have some of her own.
“I’d most definitely like children of my own. It’s something I’d like to do someday. And when that timing is right I’ll hopefully know it.”

Of all of the actresses who seem to put their careers ahead of everything and everyone else (no judgment, just be honest about it), I tend to think Hilary is the most likely to actually stop working for a few years and actually start a family. Campisi’s son - whom Hilary references - is from his marriage that ended when his affair became public. The child was a toddler when Hilary swooped in, so the kid’s probably five or six years now. If John and Hilary get married, she?ll be a step-mom - and I’ve got wonder if John’s ex-wife likes Hilary talking about her child. I also wonder why they haven?t gotten married yet? Do you think Hilary is gun-shy after Chad Lowe? Or is Campisi the one holding up the works?
