Dennis Quaid says he doesn’t ‘regret anything’ about Meg Ryan marriage — despite both having sordid affairs

Dennis Quaid said he has no regrets about his ill-fated marriage to Meg Ryan over 20 years after the pair called it quits.
During an appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” Friday, the “Parent Trap” star was asked if fame put a strain on the pair’s relationship after they began dating in 1987.
“When I met Meg I was here as far as career thing and she was here and then it just went like that,” Quaid said, indicating with his hands how the “Top Gun” star’s popularity surged well above his own.
“I tried to be a big person and tell myself that didn’t bother me, but people are human,” he continued.
Quaid explained that the “When Harry Met Sally” star’s career “was ascending” when he went “into rehab” in the ’90s , drawing a slight wedge between them.
However, during an appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2006, Ryan insisted that Crowe wasn’t to blame for the end of their “very unhealthy marriage.”
“I was very sad that it came apart in the way it seemed to have. It was never about another man,” she told Winfrey. “It was just about what my and Dennis’ relationship couldn’t sustain.”
“I think once the tabloids get a hold of three celebrity names you’re just really in trouble … I didn’t leave my marriage for Russell Crowe,” she added. “I left my marriage.”
During an interview with InStyle a few years later, the former rom-com queen claimed that Dennis also cheated during their nine-year marriage.
“It was a great story. But what wasn’t in the story was the reality of my marriage for nine years,” Ryan told the magazine, per Honey.
