Dennis Quaid is a well-known actor, especially for his role in “The Parent Trap,” but his real-life role as a father to three children is equally important to him.
From his first child, Jack, born in 1992 with ex-wife Meg Ryan, to his twins Thomas and Zoe, born in 2007 with his third wife Kimberly Buffington, Quaid’s love for his children shines through.
In a 2018 interview with PEOPLE, Quaid shared that his happiness is based on his children’s well-being, and his favorite moments are the morning routines with his two youngest kids. He mentioned how bonding over breakfast is a special time for him to connect with them.
Jack, now 32, followed in his parents’ footsteps into acting, with roles in popular franchises like “The Hunger Games” and “The Boys.” Despite having famous parents, Jack chose to pave his own way in the industry, showing independence and talent. Quaid has expressed pride in his son’s accomplishments and noted that Jack has grown into a fine man.
Quaid’s twins, Thomas and Zoe, had a challenging start after being born prematurely and experiencing a near-fatal overdose of a blood thinner in 2007. The family rallied together, and the twins made a full recovery, prompting Quaid to start The Quaid Foundation to raise awareness about medical errors.
