Dennis Quaid and his wife call it quits for a third time
Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, are calling it quits again.
On Tuesday, Buffington-Quaid filed for dissolution of marriage at Los Angeles Superior Court, according to documents obtained by The Times.
The pair have a history of calling it quits then shying away, with Buffington-Quaid originally filing for divorce in March 2012 before her attorney withdrew the papers the next month.
In October 2012, the couple again decided to separate, this time leading to Quaid filing for divorce in November. They reconciled and the divorce filing was dismissed in spring 2013.
Quaid and his wife married in 2004 and went through nightmarish circumstances in 2007 when their newborn twins, Thomas and Zoe, were each mistakenly given near fatal doses of Heparin at Cedars-Sinai.
“After careful consideration, we have decided to end our 12 year marriage. The decision was made amicably and with mutual respect toward one another,” the couple said in a joint statement to TMZ. “We will always remain great friends and devoted partners in raising our children.”
Quaid had been married twice before his relationship with Buffington. The star of Crackle’s “The Art of More” was married to P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983 before marrying Meg Ryan in 1991. His marriage to Ryan lasted 10 years and they share one son, Jack.
Representatives for Quaid did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday morning.
