Meg Ryan Loves Being a Mom to Her 2 Kids

For more than four decades, Meg Ryan has been a household name, thanks to her roles in iconic films like “When Harry Met Sally,” “You’ve Got Mail,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and so many more. Throughout most of that time, she’s balanced her career with being a mother. Ryan is mom to son Jack Quaid, whom she shares with ex-husband Dennis Quaid, and daughter Daisy True, whom she adopted in 2006.

Over the years, Ryan has been open about the positive impact her children have had on her life and how they continue to help her become the person she’s always wanted to be. In a 2008 interview with InStyle (via Yahoo!), Ryan spoke about how her work as a mother is the most important thing in her life. “But most of all, what I’m ambitious for in the 12 hours a day that I’m awake is my kids’ happiness,” she said. “I just am. I’m either figuring out how to provide for them, figuring out how to say it right, figuring out all those mom things. I want them to be happy. And today I’m happy too.”
