Although the highly publicized divorce of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid was back in 2000, the dirty secrets are just now being revealed. After eight years of slience, Meg is coming clean about Quaid. More photos and video below.
Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid
In 2000 Meg Ryan ended her failing marriage by having an affair with ‘Proof of Life’ co-star Russell Crowe but she recently told InStyle magazine that it was actually her ex-husband, Dennis Quaid, that cheated throughout their marriage.
“Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced” - Ryan
For years Meg went from ‘America’s Sweetheart’ to the ’scarlet woman.’ At the time she felt liberated and free, feeling she didn’t have to care about what people thought and she could live her life “under the radar.” She also couldn’t understand why she was dubbed ‘America’s Sweetheart.’
“It’s an old-fashioned idea, so anachronistic. I understood it was a compliment about being lovable, and it felt nice … but it also felt, after a time, like ideas were being projected onto me that had nothing to do with me,” she says.
Looking back, Meg admits that her decision to hide Quaid’s infidelity may have harmed her public image but she has no regrets. She is now in the spotlight again with her new movie, “The Women.” The all-female, all-star cast sparkle in the comedy about a circle of New York friends. I think Meg Ryan will always be a crowd favorite and as for Dennis Quaid….Dennis who?
