Dennis Quaid's relationship isn't so far from heaven. 'My life is paradise,' Quaid, 71, told Fox News Digital when asked what he loves most about his wife, Laura Savoie, 34. 'Every day is paradise with her. It really is.' 'It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody,' the 'Parent Trap' actor went on. 'Every day is paradise. 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.'

They first met in 2019 while at a business event and got engaged in Hawaii that year.

'Other people have. But…I really don't think about it. 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.'

'You have no control over who you fall in love with. I don't fall in love easy. But I can't let what a few people think control all that. I've been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is. I feel like I have a real partner in life.' Advertisement Quaid was previously married to actress P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983.

Watch: Lindsay Lohan plays guitar with Pink Slip in 'Freakier Friday'
1 of 5 | Lindsay Lohan poses with her CinemaCon Vanguard Award during the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards in April. She discussed the "Freaky Friday" sequel on "Tonight" Monday. File Photo by James Atoa/UPI | License Photo July 29 (UPI) -- Lindsay Lohan says she plays a more complicated guitar solo when Pink Slip reunites in the Freaky Friday sequel, due in theaters Aug. 8. The actress, 39, discussed Freakier Friday when she stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday. "I was excited because I started my lessons again, because I haven't played in a long time..." she said. "It was really fun. It's nice to kind of like have that experience of playing guitar and singing in the movie and acting. I haven't done that since I was young." The original 2003 film saw Anna (Lohan) and her mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) switch bodies. The movie features a memorable scene where Anna performs a guitar solo with her band Pink Slip. "So Anna is older now," Lohan said of the sequel. "She has a teenage daughter, and she's fallen in love with a guy who also has a teenage daughter. The two girls are in school together, they don't really get along. Tess is still micromanaging Anna a bit, and there's a swap that happens, and everyone has to learn a lesson." The actress also said the sequel has more physical comedy and more music. Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishan, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, Vanessa Bayer and Mark Harmon also star.
