"It was also incredibly liberating," Meg Ryan says about her split with husband Dennis Quaid. "Now I am utterly free. I didn’t have to care about what people thought. I have gotten to do what I guess I secretly wanted to do. Be totally under the radar and live my life."
The divorce was triggered off when Meg’s secret romantic affair with Russell Crowe was found out. But Meg says that Dennis had his own share of flings, which no matter how painful, she put up with for quite a while before her own loyalties gave way. "Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful," she says, adding, "I am not a victim. I was there. I was in that marriage for a really long time."
Meg is quick to add that, "Russell didn’t break up the marriage," she says. "I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn’t be in another long relationship. It wasn’t the time for that. So I got out."
Being away from the spotlight and out of a strained marriage has given Meg time to spend with and care for her children – Jack and Daisy, and she is thoroughly enjoying doing just that!
