Dennis Quaid, 66, secretly weds 27-year-old partner Laura Savoie

Dennis Quaid has revealed he wed partner Laura Savoie in a secret ceremony earlier this month.

The couple had planned to tie the knot in a Hawaii wedding in April before having a second reception in Nashville, but had to delay their plans due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Instead, they married at a seaside resort in Santa Barbara on 2 June with only the pastor as witness in an event Quaid, 66, described as "beautiful".

Meanwhile, Savoie said of her husband: "Just getting to do life with someone who lives that way is inspiring for me. It changes my perspective and it brings so much joy to every day."

The Dragonheart actor became engaged to the 27-year-old doctoral student last October as they holidayed in Hawaii.

Quaid described his proposal as "spontaneous" although his plans to pop the question began a month and half prior.

The announcement prompted a widely-reported response from his Parent Trap co-star Elaine Hendrix who played his character's young, gold-digging fiancee in the film about two twins trying to reconnect their estranged parents.

In the film, Quaid's character Nick Parker's twin daughters try to drive a wedge between him and Hendrix's Meredith through a series of pranks.

“Watch out for those twins,” she tweeted.

It's the fourth marriage for Quaid who was first married to actor PJ Soles from 1978 until 1983, and then to Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2000, welcoming son Jack in 1992.

He wed real estate agent Kimberly Buffington in 2004, and the couple are parents to twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, born via surrogate in 2007. He split from Buffington in 2016.
