60. When Meg Ryan Met Dennis Quaid
The holy trinity of Meg Ryan romantic comedies (“When Harry Met Sally,” “You’ve Got Mail,” and “Sleepless in Seattle”) are huge inspirations behind our podcast and worldviews. But is the real-life starlet as big of a hopeless romantic as her films make us feel? We’re headed to the 1990s to look back on her marriage to Dennis Quaid. This is a story of a city girl who unexpectedly fell in love with a “wild guy from Texas.” On the surface, they seemed stronger than ever after overcoming Dennis’ struggles with addiction together. This only made their divorce and allegations of adultery more shocking. Why did Meg come to appreciate the backlash over her relationship with Russell Crowe? What is her relationship with Dennis like today? And, as you’ll hear Oprah ask, how long *do* you stay after you know it’s really over? ***** Significant Lovers is a true-love podcast about historic and celebrity couples.
