Dennis Quaid says his 39-year age gap relationship is the 'closest' he's ever had

Despite being decades apart in age, Dennis Quaid says he has never been closer with anyone than he is with his wife Laura Savoie.

The Parent Trap star, 71, recently opened up about his marriage to Lauren Savoie, 32, in conversation with Fox News Digital revealing that it is "paradise".

"Every day is paradise with her. It really is," the actor told the publication.

The couple first met in 2019 and eloped in 2020 and five years on, Quaid seems to be just as smitten.

"Its the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody," he continued.

"Every day is paradise. What can I tell you? I don't know why God waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but [I'm] really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers."

While there is a significant age difference between the pair, Quaid says it's something he doesn't think about.

"I haven't spoken about the age difference of my wife," Quaid said in conversation with Fox News Digital last year.

"Other people have. But... I don't really think about it," he continued, adding, "She's just, she's just the light of my life".

The couple first met at a business conference in 2019 after being introduced by a mutual friend which Quaid later told People was "love at first sight".

At the time, Savoie was working toward her second master's degree at the Texas McCombs School of Business, having already had experience as a certified public accountant and holding a real estate license.

The pair were originally due to marry in Hawaii in 2020 with a reception planned for a later date in Nashville but the COVID-19 pandemic derailed their plans.
