'A Devastating Time for the Community'
An insider shared that the 'Lowe family is very involved.'
The Pretty Little Liars alum, 58, and the producer, 52, are also parents to daughters Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10. The couple has chosen to keep their family largely out of the public eye.
Days after Chad and his wife shared their heartbreak over her untimely death, those close to Fiona are also honoring her memory.
"The school and community are very inclusive, artistic, a warm place. Parents are friends and most are involved with the school. This is a devastating time for the community," an insider said. "The Lowe family is very involved and are at many school functions."
Chad Lowe Shared He Feels 'Privileged' to Have Daughters
A few years before Fiona's passing, Chad Lowe opened up about being a girl dad.
During a 2024 appearance on the "Still Here Podcast," Chad spoke about the "privilege" of being a girl dad.
"I feel like having daughters is such an incredible privilege," he shared.
He added that having three daughters took things he'd previously understood "intellectually" and "put it in my heart."
The younger brother of Rob Lowe explained that he views the world through his daughters' eyes.
"I look at the world from really their perspective, and I see the world and a lot of the injustices in the world from their perspective," Chad continued.
