Hilary SwankHilary Swank is reportedly dating Hollywood agent John Campisi after they were photographed kissing and holding hands during a romantic break in Rome over the weekend.

Hilary filed for divorce from husband Chad Lowe earlier this year and according to a friend, John was there to comfort her and accompanied her to the Oscars in March.

The friend told Life & Style Weekly: “Hilary cried on his shoulder when she and Chad split. He comforted her through that intensely difficult period.”

However, Campisi’s lawyer has denied the suggestion that the two are romantically involved: “Mr Campisi has a strictly platonic relationship with Ms. Swank”.
