Dennis Quaid living in ‘paradise’ every day with fourth wife Lauria Savoie, calls it the relationship he never had – We Got This Covered

Dennis Quaid, 71, has been married four times, but if you ask him whether he’s a little jaded, he’d answer: not even a little bit. According to the Any Given Sunday star, his relationship with Laura Savoie, 31, is “the closest” one he has ever had.

Quaid has had quite a bit of bad luck in the romantic department over the years. His first marriage, which lasted up to the early 1980s, was when Quaid was just coming up — so nobody really considers it. It’s his next two high-profile relationships where the star’s unlucky streak in romance was really pronounced.

In 1991, Quaid married romcom star Meg Ryan. And while the successful family did gain a new member who added even more prestige to the name, that’s where the success ended. Ryan infamously got into an affair with Russell Crowe while they were filming Proof of Life in 2000. When the story hit the tabloids, allegations of infidelity were tossed on both sides, and that led to the inevitable disintegration of the couple.

Somehow, that wasn’t even the most dramatic part of Quaid’s love life. His next relationship was with a real estate agent called Kimberly Buffington, and they went on to get married, break up, and get back together at least half a dozen times. So it’s no surprise that when Quaid was asked about his wife Savoie, he said, “I don’t know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but [I’m] really glad he brought her into my life — or I walked into hers.”

Quaid went on to describe life with her as “paradise.” The two met in 2019 and immediately got engaged within the same year. Quaid describes their meeting as love at first sight. They were scheduled to get married in 2020 until COVID foiled their plans — so the actor-cum-gospel singer decided they should elope, and they’ve been married ever since.

According to People, the two have since gone on to get into business together and now jointly own a production company called Bonniedale Films. There’s a little chatter online about their very significant 39-year age difference, but Quaid insists that his fourth wife is truly the love of his life. And if anything, he did just recently appear in his actually underrated performance in The Substance, where he played a producer who discards his female lead because she aged — so that would at least suggest he’s not completely out of touch with what people could be thinking.

These days, the conservative actor is making films that — while not exactly hitting the mark with critics or the box office — are targeting the right-leaning film fans who feel underserved by today’s Hollywood messaging. Quaid has recently starred in Reagan, where he plays the enigmatic Republican president Ronald Reagan, and in Sovereign, a movie where he’s a cop who goes up against anti-government protestors. The movies were largely dismissed as “reactionary.”

But hey, he can keep trying to make those movies and something might eventually stick. If his romantic life is anything to go by, sometimes life saves the best for last.
