Swank and Schneider first met through a blind date, which was set up by Supernatural actor Misha Collins’s wife, Victoria Vantoch, and another close friend named Jean. “We met at 10:00 a.m. and parted ways at 11:00 p.m.,” Swank told Vogue. “We enjoyed our time!”
Swank and Schneider dated for a year and a half before privately getting engaged in 2016.
When Schneider proposed to Swank during a vacation in Colorado in 2016, he made sure that the moment was extra special, including having the actress’s dogs in attendance.
“We stumbled upon a beautiful sanctuary deep in the mountains,” Swank told Vogue. “It had a stunning waterfall that cascades down to rustic cabins built in the 1800s surrounded by beautiful pines and big skies. One evening, Philip dropped to his knee in front of the waterfall and proposed—he sweetly made sure my dogs were nearby so they could bear witness!”
In August 2018, they tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in the Redwoods in California.
