Dennis Quaid says marriage with 39-years-younger wife is ‘closest relationship' he's ever had
The 71-year-old actor shared what he loves most about his 32-year-old spouse during an interview Monday with Fox News Digital. 'My life is paradise,' he said. 'Every day is paradise with her. It really is.'
'It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody,' the Far from Heaven star added. 'What can I tell you? 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 acknowledged that even though his wife is 39 years his junior, he doesn't really pay attention to the age gap.
'I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have. But…I really don't think about it," he confessed. "She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life."
'I wasn't looking for it,' Quaid added. 'And she came along, and it's God put us together.'
Quad shared similar sentiments about the age gap in the past. 'There's 30-something years between us, and we just don't even notice it,' he said during an appearance on the Today show in 2020. 'I've never related to someone in my life better than we do.'
He continued: 'We have such a great relationship and you know, love finds a way, wherever it is. You never know when love is coming, who it's gonna be, and you have no control over it. We just couldn't be happier.'
Quaid and Savoie tied the knot in a secret ceremony in June 2020 after a year of dating. The couple was initially meant to get married in a lavish Hawaiian wedding, but due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time, they chose to elope in California.
Speaking to People after the wedding, The Parent Trap star revealed that the ceremony took place on a beach in Santa Barbara with just their pastor as a witness. 'It was beautiful,' Quaid said. 'Just looking into her eyes, she was the most stunning bride.'
Savoie is Quaid's fourth wife. The Substance star was previously married to P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983 and Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2001. Ryan and Quaid welcomed their only child, Jack, together in 1992.
From 2004 to 2018, Quaid was married to Kimberly Buffington, and they now share 17-year-old twins, Thomas and Zoe.
Last month, the actor gave an update about Zoe, who was working as a camp counselor in Texas during the devastating flash floods. He told Fox News Digital at the time that Zoe's camp is many miles north of Kerrville, Texas, which was hit by the catastrophic overflooding of the Guadalupe River.
'The Hill County of Texas is a magical place, especially for children going to camp there,' the Texas native said. 'It's a cherished memory you carry with you all your life. My daughter was actually a few miles away from [Camp] Mystic, further north. Thankfully, their camp was OK.'

Oscar-nominated actress insures her mouth for $2,000,000
Cynthia Erivo revealed her mouth has been insured for $2 million (around £1.55 million). As the face of Listerine's new Wash Your Mouth campaign, the Wicked star is the latest celebrity to lend some sparkle to a high-concept marketing stunt. But while the mouthwash brand insists the move highlights the importance of oral hygiene, it also places Erivo squarely in one of Hollywood's most surreal traditions: celebrities insuring their body parts for large sums of money. Erivo, known for her powerhouse vocals and signature gap-toothed smile, described mouth care as essential to her daily rituals: 'Brushing my teeth and using mouthwash- Listerine specifically – for some reason, really opens me up,' she told People. 'It gives me a restart before I go on and sing or speak.' For her, oral hygiene is less about vanity and more about confidence, readiness, and performance. It's the final step before stepping into the spotlight. But an enormous insurance policy on a mouth – even a famous one – inevitably invites comparison with some other examples of celebrities insuring body parts. Jennifer Lopez has long been the unofficial patron saint of celebrity insurance lore, with stories of her butt being insured for as much as $27 million (around £20.9 million) — a rumour she's repeatedly denied, though never quite erased. Kim Kardashian has reportedly done the same, with her backside allegedly covered for $21 million (approx. £16.2 million) at the insistence of then-husband Kanye West. Whether fact or myth, noone can quite say. Mariah Carey's reported $70 million (around £54.2 million) insurance policy – $35 million (approx. £27.1 million) each for her legs and vocal cords – emerged during her 2016 Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour, and while some outlets went as far as to suggest she had insured her voice for $1 billion (approx. £775 million), that figure seems more urban legend than reality. Supermodel Heidi Klum once revealed that her legs were insured for around £1.1 million (approx. $1.4 million) – though she noted one was valued less than the other due to a childhood scar. Gordon Ramsay is said to have insured his taste buds and tongue for $10 million (around £7.75 million). More Trending Even Nick Cannon recently joined the list, announcing a $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) policy on his testicles as part of a tongue-in-cheek ad campaign. Soccer legends Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham each had their legs insured for nine-figure sums – Ronaldo's for over €100 million (approx. £85 million) and Beckham's reportedly for $195 million (around £151 million), one of the largest sports-related policies ever recorded. America Ferrera's smile was insured for $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) by Aquafresh during a campaign. Some of these stories are undoubtedly exaggerated or outright invented. Still, the campaign knows exactly what it's doing. A million-dollar smile backed by a million-dollar policy guarantees headlines, whether or not anyone ever intends to file a claim. Got a story?

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson spark romance rumours but fans notice one telling moment between pair
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have confirmed their 'budding chemistry' together after starring in The Naked Gun together. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have sent fans into a frenzy over their reported romance after filming The Naked Gun together. Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, discussed their budding relationship during an interview on the TODAY show. The pair, who met on set of the upcoming movie, play the leading roles of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. and Beth Davenport in the reboot of The Naked Gun, which is set to be released on August 1 2025 in the UK. The Taken Star appears to have hit it off with the Baywatch icon, after they were spotted getting cosy at the New York and London premieres of the film on Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30. At the New York showing, the pair also posed together alongside each of their two children on the red carpet as they took group pictures. Pamela's sons, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, were there, who she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee. Meanwhile, Neeson has Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with his late wife Natasha Richardson, who passed away in 2009. At the London event, they took things a step further when Pamela planted a kiss on Liam's cheek, sparking further speculation. Liam and Pamela appeared on the TODAY show on Tuesday where host Craig Melvin asked them: "Are you two an item?" The pair made direct eye contact with one another as Anderson replied: "I don't understand the question." She let Liam take the lead, who was very selective with his words, as he replied: "We met. I had never met Pamela before. We met on set and we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry." Pamela was seen smiling up at the Northern Irish star as he continued: "A connection. As two actors." Liam finished: "And it was like oh, this is nice. Let's not mould this. Let's just let it breathe. And that's what we did. So that's what we're doing." Craig jokingly replied: "So that's what we're doing right now. We're just watching the breathing of a budding relationship" as Pamela giggled in response. The interview clip was uploaded to the Today Show's TikTok page as fans raced to the comments to voice their thoughts on the pair. Another added: "I'd absolutely love these two to get together." A third remarked: "I think everyone on the planet want these two together." However, fans were quick to spot one noticeable moment in the interview where Pamela's face appeared to fall after he spoke. After explaining they have a "connection as just two actors", the actress' grin disappeared off her face and fans picked up on it. One commented: "Her face when he adds 'as actors'." A third chimed in: "Awwww noooo her face when he said as two actors." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Anderson chimed in that Neeson is the "perfect gentleman." She added: "He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him."
