Fans quickly went to Twitter to discuss Dennis Quaid’s appearance at the CMT Music Awards. One fan on Twitter exclaimed, “Y’all is this DENNIS QUAID,” while another fan wrote, “That’s a good looking Dennis Quaid.” The “Parent Trap” actor was seen wearing a metallic silver jacket with black lapels and shirt, while his young wife, Laurie Savoie, wore a shaped and sleek black dress with top slit in front (via Just Jared).
Inside the theatre, Quaid and Savoie were seen holding hands while paying attention to the live performances. Not everyone was a fan, however, as one Twitter user addressed the significant age gap between the married couple, saying, “How awkward it is that Dennis Quaid & his wife/girlfriend are holding hands but weird.”
Speaking of when the two first met, Quaid said, “It was love at first sight,” according to People. And while Twitter may notice the age gap, the actor said for them, “it really just doesn’t come up.” Quaid elaborated, “There’s just something timeless about us. We’re partners in our relationship and in life. It’s love. And love just has a way of surprising you.”
If there was ever a time and place to embody a love song, the CMT awards are probably a great fit.
