Hilary Swank is not bitter over her divorce from Chad Lowe - she insists they will remain best friends forever.

The Oscar-winning actress and Lowe met in 1992 on the set of Quiet Days in Hollywood, and wed in a lavish ceremony in 1997.

They announced their split in 2006 and the former couple has since moved on - Lowe welcomed his first daughter with girlfriend Kim Painter in May, while Swank is now dating her agent, John Campisi.

However, the Million Dollar Baby star still cherishes the time she spent with her ex-husband.

She says, "It's really such a part of the past, it's over now, so there's no sense in diving back into that. He'll always be one of my best friends. You know, you can't spend 14 years with someone and not carry them in your heart forever."
