Dennis Quaids Awkward Reunion at Sons Graduation

Dennis Quaid looked positively giddy as he reunited with his ex-wife this week at their son's high school graduation - days after filing to end his child support payments.

Quaid, 72, and Kimberly Buffington, 54, welcomed twins Zoe and Thomas via in 2007 and, after multiple splits and reconciliations, divorced in 2018 - with the actor paying almost $14,000 a month in child support.

The Reagan star, who is worth an estimated $30million, proudly posed with Thomas and Zoe, 18, and his stoic former partner Buffington at the prestigious, $45,000 a year Oaks Christian School in LA.

Quaid looked sharp in a dapper navy suit as he attended the festivities with his current bride Laura Savoie, 33.

While Quaid and Buffington kept a distance between each other during the day, a friendly Quaid was later seen briefly tapping his ex on the back as Savoie excitedly hugged Zoe.

Buffington and Zoe looked like twins in cream ensembles as they proudly watched Thomas take to the stage to receive his diploma.

Quaid was also seen taking to the lectern to deliver a commencement speech to the class of 2026.

Last month it emerged Quaid is filing legal documents to ensure his monthly payments will end once both teenagers are awarded their diplomas. 

Quaid pays a base rate of $13,750 in monthly child support, with markups possible in the event his earnings rise above a particular level.

With Zoe having graduated high school on May 23 and Thomas now graduating on June 3, Quaid is hoping to make certain the cessation of his payments. 

The hearing date for Quaid's Request for Order or Modification of Child Support is scheduled for July 28th.
