Divorce Records of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan Split

After nine years of marriage, Quaid filed for divorce on July 12, 2000. The following month, Ryan countersued. The two announced their break up the year before. Their divorce records cite irreconcilable differences as the cause of the break-up. The couple asked for joint custody for their only child, Jack.

Online divorce records search did not yield much detail as both parties agreed to refrain from talking about the particulars. Suffice it to say that it was mutual and amicable. The couple also denied that a third party was involved, though, Ryan was seen as more than friends with movie hunk Russel Crowe (The Gladiator) even before the separation.

Ryan was put in a bad light after the break-up. Fans called her a “bad mother” but Quaid was quick to come to her defense. He was quoted as saying about the break-up, “In the process of us trying to be better parents, we forgot about ourselves.”
For her part, Ryan said in an interview with a magazine: "The reasons we broke up have nothing to do with another person. My marriage was broken -- nobody else broke it up. It dissolved before it became sport for the press. I'll never talk about what went down, and neither will Dennis."

After the break-up, Quaid dated Andie MacDowell and Playboy pinup and singer
Caprice Bourret. He later married Kimberly Buffington on Thanksgiving Day in 2004. Meanwhile, Ryan eventually broke up with Crowe, claiming that she was having an early midlife crisis. She was also linked with actor Matthew Perry. She also adopted a Chinese baby girl. Her latest film is The Land of Women.

He is now playing with his band, Dennis Quaid and the Sharks in many LA Clubs. He has been playing the guitar since he was 12 but put it away when he was busy with films. After his split with Ryan, he revived his musical roots. Ryan remains single and is still busy with films.
