Chad Lowe made his first public appearance since the death of his daughter Fiona on Saturday, attending his nephew Matthew Lowe’s wedding to Emily Markus in Montecito, California. Chad Lowe, 58, brought his wife Kim Painter, 52, and their daughters Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10, to the star-studded ceremony, according to Page Six and E! News.
Matthew Lowe, the 33-year-old son of actor Rob Lowe, married Emily Markus on Oct. 10 at the Rosewood Miramar, TMZ reported. The couple got engaged in July 2025, according to TMZ.
The Main Development
The Lowe family’s appearance at the Chad Lowe wedding attendance marked their return to the public eye weeks after Fiona’s death. Fiona, Chad and Kim’s middle daughter, died Sept. 29 at age 13, Page Six reported.
Chad wore a blue suit with a matching tie, while Kim wore a black dress, according to Page Six. The couple and their daughters sat two rows behind Rob Lowe and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, with actor Chris Pratt seated next to Chad. Matthew’s brother, John Owen Lowe, was also in attendance, Page Six and E! News reported.
Gwyneth Paltrow officiated the ceremony. TMZ reported that Paltrow and Rob Lowe, 62, have been friends for decades.
What It Means For Fans
The wedding brought together an extensive guest list beyond the Lowe family. TMZ reported that Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo and Maria Shriver all attended the celebration.
For followers of the family, the outing offered the first glimpse of Chad Lowe, an actor known for Life Goes On, and his wife and daughters since they announced Fiona’s death. The family had asked for privacy following that loss.
Background And Context
Fiona’s death came as a shock to those following the family. In a statement at the time, the family said, “She was adored by her sisters and she was deeply loved by her parents. In fact, she was the light of our lives. Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time.”
Mabel, the eldest of the three Lowe daughters, later shared a tribute to her sister. Readers can find more on that tribute and on Fiona’s death in Total Apex Entertainment’s prior coverage of Mabel Lowe’s tribute to her sister and the report on Fiona Lowe’s death.
