Dennis Quaid and Laura Savoie postpone wedding over ‘travel issues’ amid coronavirus pandemic

Dennis Quaid and fiancée Laura Savoie postponed their upcoming wedding.

The May-December couple decided to set back their nuptials, telling guests it’s due to ‘travel issues’ and not coronavirus,’ according to a source told Us Weekly.

Despite downplaying the COVID-19 pandemic as the cause, it still could be assumed that the ‘travel issues’ are related to the airline industry’s crippling travel restrictions and sharp reduction in travel demands caused by the spread of COVID-19.

The Great Balls Of Fire! star, 65, popped the question to his ladylove, 26, in October 2019, at Turtle Bay in Oahu, Hawaii.

‘She was actually taking a selfie of us, and I put the ring in front and said, “Will you marry me?” – and then she fell down,’ the Texas native told Extra. 

After going public with their engagement, some fans took to social media to criticize their 39-year age difference, which Quaid addressed not long after. 

‘I didn’t go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me,’ he revealed in an interview with The Guardian. 

‘I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed. I don’t fall in love easy. But I can’t let what a few people think control all that.’ 

Quaid maintained all the chatter and criticism hasn’t deterred him from knowing that Savoie is the woman for him at this point in his life.

‘I’ve been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is,’ he said while referencing his previous marriages to P.J. Soles, Kimberly Buffington and Meg Ryan. 

‘I feel like I have a real partner in life.’ 

The actor shares a son Jack, 27, with Ryan and fraternal twins Thomas and Zoe, 12, with Buffington.
