American noted family, the husband of Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift. The first acting Governor to give birth while in office, Swift had twin daughters, Lauren and Sarah, on 15 May 2001, with Chuck at her side. He is taking a role that is still non-traditional, that of primary care-taker of the family. He is, however, alienated from his gay son Brian, born from one of his previous three wives.
Extremely private, Hunt has not only kept in the background but stringently avoided the press. When interviewed by the media, he referred to his prior marital experience in the singular and he and Swift both lied on their marriage license, issued on 10 February 1994, in swearing that he had one prior marriage. Where they felt that it was a matter of seeking privacy, public opinion is divided between suspicion of a public servant who is caught in a lie, and indifference to something that they feel is not important. All three of Hunt’s former marriages have been annulled by the Catholic Church, as Swift is a strict Catholic.
Gray-haired and athletically built, Chuck has struggled to find a career. He could not make a living as a dairy farmer and was laid off from a job he loved as a high school gym teacher. He has worked, off and on, in construction. In recent years, while his wife heads off to her political office, he has been renovating the farmhouse his family shared with his aunt and uncle in Williamstown.
In spite of his image as Mr.Mom, his three-year-old daughter and the twins are in day care while Hunt spends his time doing errands and working in the yard and house renovation.
