Dennis Quaid surprised fans when he announced he’s engaged to Laura Savoie — who is nearly four decades his junior — after only a few months of dating. The “Goliath” star, 65, proposed to Savoie, a 26-year-old student, in Hawaii over the weekend. “I had the ring in my pocket. It has been kind of a month-and-a-half plan — I wanted it to be private,” Quaid said of the “sunset” proposal. “She was actually taking a selfie* of us, and I put the ring in front and said, ‘Will you marry me?’” “It happened on the very northernmost point of Oahu, at Turtle Bay. It was kind of spontaneous*. It was very much a surprise,” he added. While at the University of Texas in the McCombs School of Business, Savoie is working towards her PhD in accounting where she has been enrolled since 2017. She is also working as a teaching and research assistant, according to her LinkedIn. Prior to meeting Quaid, the graduate student reportedly dated “Entourage” star Jeremy Piven. While Savoie has never walked down the aisle* before, her fiancé knows a thing or two about weddings. Quaid has been married three times — to actress P. J. Soles from 1978-1983, to Meg Ryan from 1991-2001, and to real estate agent Kimberly Buffington from 2004-2016. Many on social media were quick to point out that the actor’s wives keep getting younger. (SD-Agencies) |
