Laura Savoie was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, by her parents, where she stayed all of her childhood and teenage years and also got her high school education there. After her initial studies were done, she moved to California so she could enroll in Pepperdine University. Laura studied in Pepperdine, where she earned her Bachelor's degree, then moved on to the University of Notre Dame, where she got her Masters, and now she is at The University of Texas at Austin where she is studying for her PhD.
The reason Laura is currently in the limelight is because of her recent engagement with the actor Dennis Quaid who is 39 years her senior. Dennis is currently 65 years old, whereas the PhD student is 26 years old.

Dennis Quaid is an actor who is popular for his appearance in the movie The Parent Trap. He’s appeared in numerous films over the years after starting his career in 1975. Over the years, the actor’s been married three times and in numerous other relationships.
After the failure of his third marriage to Texas Valley real-estate agent Kimberly Buffington, the actor started a relationship with French-Canadian model Santa Auzina, but after three years together, the couple called it quits in 2018 and a couple of months later, Dennis was dating again and this time with someone who is 39 years younger than him.

It was reported in June, the actor was seeing a PhD student from The University of Texas, and the relationship was confirmed when the private Instagram account of Laura was followed. There were pictures of the couple together with her writing, sweet captions of the duo being in love. Though the images and the caption are still not public, it was reported the couple was in love.
The love between the two blossomed in a matter of months, and they were seen together for the first time, holding hands and in love. But after only 4-5 months of dating, the lovebirds grew close to each other, to the point where Dennis decided it was the right time for the two to get engaged.

The couple was together for less than half a year when the actor decided he needed to put a ring on it. Dennis and Laura were in Turtle Bay, Oahu, enjoying some time off. He filmed the new movie Midway in Hawaii, and it was the right place for the couple to get engaged.
Dennis and Laura were on vacation, and the actor talked about how they got engaged to Extra TV. He said, “It happened on the very northernmost point of Oahu, at Turtle Bay. It was kind of spontaneous. It was very much a surprise,” the actor set the scene. “I had the ring in my pocket… It has been kind of a month-and-a-half plan… I wanted it to be private. She was actually taking a selfie of us, and I put the ring in front and said, 'Will you marry me?' — and then she fell down.”

Dennis Quaid used a five-century old engagement ring, which the actor bought while on a trip to Italy. Giorgio Bulgari showed the ring, and it was perfect for his proposal.
Well, as with almost everything in the world, the couple was ridiculed for their choice to get engaged, considering the age gap. One of the first people to come after the couple was Dennis’ Parent Trap co-star Elaine Hendrix who drew some obvious comparisons between the movie’s plot and the real-life engagement of the two. In a tweet, she wrote, “Watch out for those twins.”
Elaine is referring to the twins who tried to prank their way into getting her character away from their dad so he can be with their mom. The actress played a 26-year-old in the movie, and her character was the fiancée of Dennis’ character. The thing which makes it funny and also real is the fact Dennis is the father of twins with his third wife, and this is almost like life imitating art.
Well, it was a tongue-in-cheek quip by Elaine, but then the floodgates opened, and people were all over the couple, making fun of them. Even Dennis’ ex Lea Thompson got involved in the roasting of the couple. Check out the tweets below;
Brutal, to say the least!
