The former couple’s romance dates back to 1982, after they met on the set of Jaws 3-D.
Thompson met her now-husband, Howard Deutch, on the set of Some Kind of Wonderful in 1986.
After her engagement to Quaid ended in 1987, her friendship with Deutch, 11 years her senior, turned romantic.

As for Quaid, he was married to PJ Soles from 1978 to 1983, Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2001, and Kimberly Quaid from 2004 to 2018. He married his current wife Laura Savoie, 31, in 2020.
At the site of the famous music festival, his ex had declared that the presidential election is a vote between TikTok and the United States Constitution this year.
“I’m here to tell you it’s time to choose a side,” he said. ‘Are we going to be a nation that defends the Constitution or TikTok?’
Quaid also lamented the loss of a nation that used to have “cheap money” and was “exporting oil to our allies and friends.”
While on stage, he also talked about his recent starring role and portrayal of the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, in the biographical drama titled Reagan, which premiered on August 30.
He told the crowd that while Reagan was his favorite president of the 20th century, Trump is his favorite president of the 21st century.

Quaid previously endorsed the Republican candidate during the press tour for his film Reagan in early September.
In May, she said she ultimately changed her mind and decided to vote for Trump because of the “militarization of the justice system” and his political record.
“I think I’m going to vote for him in the next election,” Quaid told Piers Morgan Uncensored host Piers Morgan. “It just makes sense.”
He continued: “I was willing not to vote for Trump, until what I saw is, more than politics, I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution.”
He also shared a story about his housekeeper Josie, who he said was “here illegally for over a decade using her sister’s ID.”
He recalled that Josie “worked for us” and “lived in fear” of being deported during the many years she worked for him and his family.

Quaid said he volunteered to sponsor her and help her become a U.S. citizen only after Trump was elected.
During his speech, Quaid said that “the fairy tale called Harris and Biden just doesn’t work now.”
“Four years ago, peace in the world was not some kind of fairy tale either,” he continued.
‘Peace in the Middle East: Trump was actually on the verge of achieving the Abraham Accords, which would have recognized Israel by Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations, and put us on the path to the peace we have long awaited. been trying. come from the biblical times of Ishmael and Isaac.’
