Dennis Quaid has a lot of fond memories about his 10-year celebrity marriage to celebrity ex Meg Ryan, according to UsMagazine.com. Quaid opened up about his past marriage to the You’ve Got Mail actress in a recent interview. “[It was] my most successful relationship,” Quaid, 64, said on Megyn Kelly Today on Monday, July 23. “When we met, you know, I was the big deal. And then my career [came to a halt]. … We’d go out on the streets of New York and it would be like, ‘Meg! Meg!’ And I have to admit it, I actually did feel like I disappeared. I didn’t think I was that small, but I was. It was a growth opportunity. I learned from that.” Quaid and Ryan fell in love on the set of their movie D.O.A. and wed in 1991. They welcomed a son named Jack, now 26, the following year, and then divorced in 2001.
These celebrity exes aren’t on bad terms; in fact, Quaid things on his relationship with Meg Ryan fondly. What are some benefits of focusing on the positive when it comes to your ex?
