Meg Ryan Breaks Silence On Split From Dennis Quaid - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-10-2008, 10:02 PM

Actress Meg Ryan felt guilty over her divorce from Dennis Quaid - even though she was only partly to blame.

Ryan reveals it wasn't until after the dissolution of her ten-year marriage in 2001 that she learned details of Quaid's alleged infidelity, adding that she blamed herself for the pair's split long after their separation.

She tells InStyle magazine: "When the woman cheats, it's the woman's fault. When the man cheats, it's the woman's fault." The When Harry Met Sally star insists she felt like "a scarlet woman having a reckless affair that destroyed my marriage" after being attacked by the media for straying from actor Quaid.

Although she remains quiet on many of the details, Ryan did admit on the TV show Good Morning America: "The truth is I had a very complicated marriage... the last few years I've confused a lot of people really. I'm not interested in opening up my marriage, I just feel like every now and then you have to fill in the gaps for people... We're not friends really, but we're friendly."

Ryan and Quaid have a 16-year-old son, Jack Henry.

I can see where being married to Dennis Quaid might be kind of hard, just because he has a "reputation". I could see him cheating on her. Maybe it's because of the kinds of characters he's played!

I think Meg Ryan blew it. She had a long marriage with Dennis Quaid. Not perfect, but it seems they could have worked things out. She openly cheated on him with Russell Crowe. I always felt that she thought that Russell Crowe would want to spend his life with her, but he went back to marry and have a family with his true love, Danielle. Dennis married a young knockout and had more kids. Last I heard, Meg is alone.

I wondered why there was a picture of Russell Crowe attached to this thread!

I sooo agree Meg blew it bigg time..its such a shame really.

He cheated on her repeatedly while they were married. No wonder she left him. If Dennis Quaid were a REAL man he would have admitted to this and not let her take the blame alone. No wonder his son lives with Ryan fulltime.

She had another child long before Dennis and his no-brain wife produced their babies in a bottle and you don't know if she's single. I wonder how much longer Dennis Quaid's third marriage is going to last: he and his wife have been publicly fighting lately...

Meg Ryan is single, and had no children before Quaid. They share custody of their son. The only fighting that went on in Dennis Quaid's house was his and his beautiful wife's twins fighting for their lives after a hospital screw up. They're crazy over each other. Too much Enquirer. As for Meg and Dennis, I think they both cheated, but Meg thought she had Crowe. She was wrong.

She's the only one alone now. Dennis and Russell are happy with their knockout wives and babies. I think I read Meg adopted a kid after Dennis dumped her. Her son will be leaving home soon, then she'll REALLY be alone. She could use a hit movie, which shouldn't be a problem. Hit roles are plentiful for 50ish actresses.

Yeah, Meg Ryan during her heyday was considered "America's Sweetheart," once news of the affair came out, her movies began to bomb. I don't think that was much of a coincidence.

It always amazes me how celebrities share their heart wrenching life stories the same week they have a movie coming out...

i never thought of that but you are right

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 06:45 PM

I always thought DQ was a nice guy, and MR a respectable, nice woman. I wish them the best with their kids and whatever else in the future. Btw, isn't that the actor from Gladiator she's wish in the pictures you posted? I forget his name, but it's not Dennis Quaid.

Actually, that's Russell Crowe and that was the man that had an affair with Meg Ryan while she was married to Quaid.

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 07:53 PM

That's it. I couldn't think of his name lol, yeah Russell Crowe was in Gladiator. But yeah.

Schmoopie · 09-13-2008, 05:59 AM

The celebrities who impress me the most are those that manage to stay married for so long, and those that you never hear stories about them having affairs and so forth.
