Dennis Quaid: Life with Younger Wife Is ‘Paradise’
Dennis Quaid, 71, has called his marriage to Laura Savoie, 32, a ‘paradise,’ expressing deep affection for the younger woman despite the 39-year age gap. The actor, known for his past marriages to P.J. Soles, Meg Ryan, and Kimberly Buffington, described their relationship as the closest he’s ever experienced, emphasizing their mutual love and shared faith. Quaid and Savoie married in June 2020 after meeting at a business event, with Quaid attributing their connection to divine intervention. Despite initial public scrutiny surrounding their age difference, Quaid insists the focus should be on their bond, calling Savoie ‘the light of my life.’ The couple’s elopement due to the pandemic added to the intimacy of their union.
Savoie, a graduate student at the Texas McCombs School of Business, has spoken about the positive impact Quaid has had on her life, highlighting his vibrant energy and wisdom. Quaid, who previously downplayed the age gap in interviews, stated that the relationship developed naturally without any premeditation. He also reflected on the challenges of past marriages, noting that this union feels like ‘the final one.’ The couple’s shared faith and spiritual connection, Quaid believes, have been instrumental in their success together. Their relationship has become a subject of interest, particularly in Hollywood, where age gaps in love have long been a topic of public fascination.
The couple’s decision to elope in 2020, rather than plan a traditional wedding, underscores their desire for a more intimate and personal celebration of their union. Quaid expressed admiration for Savoie’s character, intelligence, and beauty, while appreciating the wisdom and maturity she sees in him. He has consistently maintained that age should not be a factor in love and that the focus should be on the emotional and spiritual aspects of their relationship. Quaid’s comments have resonated with many, offering a perspective that challenges societal norms and highlights the importance of genuine connection over external factors like age differences.
