Transcript

00:00Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan were one of Hollywood's most iconic couples during the 90s.

00:10Their relationship began in the late 80s when they starred together in Inner Space and then

00:14again in DOA.

00:16The chemistry they displayed on screen translated into real life, and they quickly became a

00:21beloved celebrity couple.

00:23They married in 1991 and had a son, Jack, in 1992.

00:27But despite the picture-perfect image, the marriage was far from stable.

00:32One of the key issues that contributed to the decline of the relationship was the growing

00:36imbalance in their careers.

00:38While Quaid had established himself as a leading man during the 80s, Meg Ryan's career skyrocketed

00:44in the 90s, particularly after her role in When Harry Met Sally.

00:48Her success in rom-coms like Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail made her one

00:53of Hollywood's biggest stars, earning her the title of America's Sweetheart.

00:57As Ryan's fame eclipsed Quaid's, he reportedly began to feel overshadowed and small in the

01:03relationship.

01:04In later interviews, Quaid admitted openly that he struggled with this dynamic, acknowledging

01:09that it hurt his self-esteem and affected how he saw himself as both a husband and an

01:15actor.

01:16The strain caused by their differing levels of fame combined with the pressures of public

01:20scrutiny created tension in the marriage.

01:23But the final blow came in 2000 when Meg was involved in a highly publicized affair with

01:28her Proof of Life co-star, Russell Crowe.

01:31The affair dominated headlines and marked a turning point in their relationship.

01:35Although Ryan later claimed that her marriage to Quaid had been unhealthy long before the

01:40affair, the infidelity made reconciliation impossible.

01:44Quaid was devastated by the affair and the subsequent collapse of his marriage.

01:48In interviews, he expressed how difficult it was to process the end of a relationship

01:53he had invested so much in.

01:55The couple officially divorced in 2001, bringing to an end a decade-long marriage that once

02:01seemed filled with promise.

02:03The split had a profound impact on Quaid, who took time to reflect on both his personal

02:07life and career.

02:09Despite the emotional toll, he eventually found a path to recovery.

02:13In the years following the divorce, he continued to work steadily, appearing in a variety of

02:19films, though none achieved the same level of success as his earlier hits.

02:23But his resilience and determination to rebuild his career have been evident.

02:27He's openly discussed how he came out of that dark period stronger and more self-aware,

02:33learning to prioritize his happiness and health.

02:36Today, he's positioned for a significant comeback with his role as President Ronald

02:40Reagan in the upcoming film, Reagan.

02:43The film is set for release in 2024 and has generated considerable buzz, with many anticipating

02:49his portrayal of the iconic president to be one of his most defining roles.
