Meg Ryan says ex-husband Dennis Quaid was "not faithful" to her during their marriage. 'The Women' star - who was married to the actor from 1991 to 2000 - claims it was not her highly publicised affair with Russell Crowe which ruined their relationship, but Dennis' extra-marital activities.

Meg, who has a 16-year-old son Jack Henry with Dennis, said: "Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced.

Meg Ryan nearly called her daughter Oprah Winfrey Ryan.

"The Women" actress - who adopted her now three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Daisy True from China in 2003 - was considering the unlikely moniker for her new baby.

'The Women' actress - who adopted her now three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Daisy True from China in 2003 - was considering the unlikely moniker for her new baby.

She said: "I had a friend who was in a little bit of a manic phase, a little bi-polar, and I was getting reams and reams of names from her. My favourite was Oprah Winfrey Ryan. I knew then that I was in trouble. She was convinced that celebrities should just name their babies after celebrities. But we had to rule it out."

Meg Ryan says adopting her daughter was like a "metaphysical kind of labor." "The Women" actress - who adopted Daisy True, now three, from China in 2006 - admits the process has many similarities to natural birth, with all the same emotions.

Meg, who also has a 16-year-old son Jack Henry with ex-husband Dennis Quaid, said: "It's such a deliberate act, this adoption, as opposed to getting pregnant sometimes. You have to be very, very awake."
