Kim Kardashian’s appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix turned messy fast and not because of anything on the track. Just minutes before the race kicked off, Kim standing out on the starting grid to support her boyfriend, Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton brushed off seasoned Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle during his live pre-race walk. The snub, icy and unmistakable, went viral almost instantly, with fans calling Kim “classless” and slamming her for what they saw as pure arrogance. Martin Brundle’s grid walks are a staple for F1 fans. He weaves through celebrities and drivers, squeezing in quick chats before the engines roar. This time, he spotted Kim alongside her sister Khloe and their friend Simon Huck. He approached, mic in hand, did his usual friendly intro “Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?” and asked if she was enjoying the event. Instead of responding, Kim shot a short smile, gave a fleeting glance, and then just turned away. Silence. She leaned in to her securi...
It seems like Hollywood divorces especially the messy ones never really disappear. Years after Dennis Quaid and his ex-wife, Kimberly Buffington, officially split, there’s still paperwork floating around. This time, Quaid’s taking action to get his child support payments wrapped up. The reason? Their twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, just graduated high school, and Dennis has asked a Los Angeles court to halt those monthly checks. It’s the last step in a financial story that kicked off almost ten years ago, played out in the public eye, and is finally coming to a close.
Why Dennis Filed Now
Court records show Dennis’s lawyer told the judge it’s all about the original divorce deal. Back in 2018, they decided child support would keep coming until the twins finished high school. They’ve done that plus, they’re old enough under California law so to Dennis, there’s no reason to keep the payments going. His legal team is basically saying: terms were set, the kids reached the milestones, now let’s make it official and end the support.
The Details on the Money
When they split, Dennis agreed to a pretty big monthly payment: $13,750. But Hollywood income is never steady, so they built in a special clause. If Dennis made more than $1.3 million in a year, Kimberly got a chunk of extra money to help keep the lifestyle the family was used to. With the kids out of high school, though, those payments are set to stop, just as they planned years ago. Legal experts aren’t surprised, this kind of request is pretty standard, not some dramatic fight.
A Look Back at Quaid & Buffington
Dennis married Kimberly, who works in real estate back in Texas, in 2004. The media never stopped watching them, especially after a terrifying episode in 2007. Their newborn twins were accidentally given a massive overdose of heparin at a Southern California hospital. The ordeal made headlines and pushed Dennis and Kimberly to advocate for safer medical labeling.
The twins bounced back, but the marriage had a rocky road:
- In 2012, Kimberly filed for divorce, then changed her mind and withdrew her request.
- That same year, Dennis filed for divorce, but the couple tried to patch things up.
- By 2016, they separated for good.
- Finally, in 2018, they settled everything including joint custody and financial support.
Now, with their kids grown and heading into adulthood, this legal filing closes out the last chapter.
Dennis’s Life Today
Dennis isn’t just dealing with court papers he’s got plenty going on. He married Laura Savoie in June 2020, keeps working on movies, and makes moves in real estate. He’s steady, successful, and staying visible. His personal life may have changed, but the legal rules around child support haven’t. Once the kids are adults and finish school, payments stop. That’s pretty much the rule, no matter how anyone’s lifestyle shifts.
Lawyers say Dennis did the smart thing by going to court instead of just ending payments on his own. It protects him from future claims or headaches about unpaid support. The court’s expected to double-check the twins’ graduation status and ages, then officially sign off on ending the payments. So far, Kimberly’s legal team hasn’t pushed back, which suggests everyone saw this coming. Looks like, after all these years, the plan is unfolding exactly as expected.
