Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid were once a power couple in Hollywood, but their marriage ended in a messy divorce. Rumors of Ryan’s affair with Russell Crowe surfaced, tarnishing her public image. Despite this, Ryan denied that her relationship with Crowe led to the divorce, blaming the press for invading her privacy.
Nearly a decade later, Ryan claimed in an interview that Quaid had cheated on her during their marriage, which she found “very painful.” Quaid, on the other hand, expressed regret that their son was involved in the public drama. He moved on to start another family with Kimberly Buffington, with whom he had twins.
Quaid also revealed feeling overshadowed by Ryan’s success, especially when his career took a back seat to hers. Despite these challenges, Quaid saw it as a growth opportunity and acknowledged his past struggles with cocaine addiction.
