A week ago, Hilary Swank and her husband, Chad Lowe, announced their separation, but now, the Oscar-winning actress says they hope to rescue their 8-year marriage.

"We're still trying to save it," Swank told syndicated TV entertainment show "Access Hollywood" at the Golden Globe Awards, which were presented Monday in Beverly Hills, California. "It's not over, we're not divorced. We've been together for over 13 years, and there's a lot of love there."

Swank, who wore her wedding ring to the awards ceremony, added: "We're still married."

Swank, 31, and Lowe, 38, announced their split Jan. 9. They were married in 1997 and have no children.

The actress, who won Oscars for "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby," next stars in the Brian DePalma-directed crime drama, "The Black Dahlia."

Lowe won an Emmy Award in 1993 for his performance on the U.S. TV series "Life Goes On."

The "Million Dollar Baby" actress star secretly split from Lowe late last year and spent Christmas and New Year alone before making news of the break-up official. Now she claims she's trying to rescue whatever has been left of their marriage.
