However, despite the bitter end to their marriage, the actress later reflected on their relationship with a more positive perspective. In an interview years after Reynolds died in 2018, she shared how they had reconciled before his passing.

“We were friends first and friends last. It’s time to move on,” she said. Their adopted son, Quinton, played a significant role in their eventual reconciliation.

“We have this wonderful child together. Having a son was a big event in our lives, and so everything revolved around him,” she explained. Their son even brought his parents together one last time before Reynolds’ death.

In one final gesture of kindness, Reynolds took her out to dinner and brought her flowers. She remembered these moments fondly, speaking warmly of her ex-husband’s sweeter side.

While her tumultuous relationship with Reynolds dominated headlines in the 1990s, the actress remained focused on her career. She continued to work in television, often appearing in sitcoms and TV movies, though her roles frequently echoed the glamorous persona she had built in the 1980s.

In 2008, at 62, she found love again — this time, under much quieter circumstances. She married Bob Flick, a musician and founding member of The Brothers Four, a folk group.

Their relationship had deep roots, as they had first met decades earlier at a movie premiere when her career was just beginning. After reconnecting later in life, they married in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends, including her son.
