He continued, "It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody. Every day is paradise. What can I tell you? I don't know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but [I'm] really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers."
The couple married in June 2020 in Santa Barbara, California, after meeting a year earlier at a business event while she was working toward her second master’s degree at the Texas McCombs School of Business, according to her LinkedIn profile.
There's a significant age difference between the two, but as Quaid told Fox News Digital last year, he doesn't notice it.

"I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have. But…I really don't think about it," he admitted. "She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life."
"I wasn’t looking for it, and she came along, and it's God put us together," he added.

The couple had originally planned a Hawaiian wedding, but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, their plans shifted.
Instead of their planned nuptials, they eloped: on June 2, 2020, they were married at a seaside resort in Santa Barbara, California, with only their pastor as their witness.
"Just looking into her eyes, she was the most stunning bride," Quaid told People of the intimate affair.
Savoie told the outlet that she has "never met someone who is so in love with life. It's like nothing can bring him down."
She added, "Just getting to do life with someone who lives that way is inspiring for me. It changes my perspective and it brings so much joy to every day."

"It was love at first sight," Quaid insisted. "I just love who she is as a person. Her character, her intelligence, of course, her beauty. And her point of view of the world."

According to Quaid, their shared faith played a role in their quick connection as well.
"We’re both Christians, and right from the start God has always had a hand in the relationship," he said. "I think that’s where the real strength comes from."
