Dennis Quaid Admits He Doesn’t 'Regret' His Marriage to Meg Ryan
Though Dennis Quaid, 70, and Meg Ryan's marriage didn't last, the former still thinks highly of his ex.
"How about that? When I met Meg I was here as far as career thing and she was here and then it just went like that," the Parent Trap star said of ex's success.
"I tried to be a big person and tell myself that didn't bother me, but people are human," Quaid said on the Friday, September 6, episode of Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? "She was ascending as I went into rehab and Meg is really such a great, sweet person and really talented and deserved all her success. But I don't regret anything about my marriage to Meg, and we got Jack Quaid out of it who is really going on to maybe eclipse both of us."
Still, the exes are in touch today, as they share son Jack, who has appeared in big hits such as Oppenheimer, Scream and The Hunger Games.
Jack previously discussed how his parents' fame has affected his career.
“No matter what I do, people are going to call attention to it. People have called me a ‘nepo baby.’ I’m inclined to agree,” Jack said.
“I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that’s more than half the battle,” he continued.
