Dennis Quaid and Laura Savoie’s relationship has been met with adversity over the years, but they’ve only come out stronger.
Quaid had been married three times prior to meeting Savoie when she was a 26-year-old Ph.D. student at the University of Texas in 2019. The actor was married to P.J. Soles from 1978-1983 and he tied the knot with actress Meg Ryan in 1991. The exes welcomed son Jack in 1992 before finalizing their divorce in 2001.
Quaid went on to wed Kimberly Buffington in 2004, and the two welcomed twins Thomas and Zoe in 2007. Their relationship came to a close in 2018.
Ahead of his and Savoie’s June 2020 nuptials, Quaid exclusively told Us Weekly that he and his bride had to “get married first” before welcoming any children together.
