“I don’t regret anything about my marriage to Meg,” Dennis Quaid said. “We got Jack Quaid out of it.”

Dennis Quaid is reflecting on his marriage to Meg Ryan — and hyping up his son Jack Quaid in the process.

In an interview with Chris Wallace on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?

the Parent Trap star discussed how the volatility of his acting career impacted the couple’s marriage, which lasted from 1991 to 2001.

“When I met Meg, I was here as far as career thing, and she was here,” Quaid said, holding his hand representing himself far above his hand representing his ex-wife. “And then it just went woosh like that,” he said as he inverted the positions of his hands.

Wallace asked Quaid if Ryan’s increased popularity affected him at the time. “I try to be a big person and tell myself that it didn’t bother me, but people are human,” Quaid said. “She was ascending as I went into rehab.”

However, Quaid had nothing but positive remarks for Ryan. “Meg is really such a great, sweet person, and really talented, and deserved all of her success,” he said. “I don’t regret anything about my marriage to Meg. We got Jack Quaid out of it, who is really going on to maybe I think eclipse both of us.”
