Dennis Quaid<\/a><\/strong> knows his recent engagement news<\/a> caused quite the stir.<\/p>\n

Back in October, it was revealed that the 65-year-old Parent Trap<\/em> star is set to tie the knot with 26-year-old PhD student Laura Savoie<\/strong>. The engagement announcement raised eyebrows with many social media users, specifically over the couple’s major age-gap. However, the media coverage didn’t bother Quaid, in fact, he found it all pretty amusing.<\/p>\n

“That was really a laugh,” Quaid tells The Guardian<\/a><\/em> in a new interview, published Monday. “I thought it was wonderful, actually.”<\/p>\n

As for the age difference between him and his now-fianc\u00e9e, Quaid explains it “really doesn’t bother us.”<\/p>\n

“Everyone comes from the perspective of their own life and so I can’t comment on the way they feel; I can’t even get angry,” the actor says. “I didn’t go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me. I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed. You have no control over who you fall in love with.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I don’t fall in love easy. But I can’t let what a few people think control all that,” Quaid continues. “I’ve been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is. I feel like I have a real partner in life.”<\/p>\n

Quaid was previously married to P. J. Soles<\/strong>, Meg Ryan<\/a><\/strong>, and Kimberly Quaid<\/strong>, with who he shares 12-year-old twins. Quaid also has a 27-year-old son, Jack Quaid<\/strong>, with ex Ryan.<\/p>\n

As many Parent Trap<\/em> fans will know, Quaid’s character gets engaged to a 26-year-old woman named Meredith Blake in the film, played by Elaine Hendrix<\/strong>. After hearing about her former co-star’s engagement to Savoie, 26, Hendrix hilariously tweeted<\/a>, “Watch out for those twins.”<\/p>\n

The tweet was a reference to Quaid’s twin daughters in the movie, portrayed by Lindsay Lohan<\/a><\/strong>, who were not the biggest fans of her character.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Referencing Hendrix’s tweet, Quaid tells The Guardian<\/em> he thought it was funny.<\/p>\n

“In fact, that very day, we went to the Staglin Family Vineyard, where we filmed The Parent Trap<\/em>,” Quaid reveals. “I hadn’t been there since 1996. So we went and they offered us the opportunity to get married there.”<\/p>\n

But will they really? According to Quaid, “Well, wouldn’t you? For sure!”<\/p>\n

And when it comes to a wedding date, Quaid shares, “I think you have to get married within a year of asking.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
