Meg looked ageless as she took the stage wearing a strapless, skin-tight black gown.

Her dress showed off her toned arms and slim figure.

She wore black-rimmed glasses and left her short hair down in an elegant style.

Meg typically keeps a low profile but made a special exception to speak at the renowned awards ceremony.

The 29th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards took place on Sunday night in Santa Monica, California.

Last year, Meg made another appearance to support her friend Michael J. Fox.

She stepped out to attend the screening of his documentary, Still.

WHERE’S MEGAN?

Meg Ryan is a renowned actress who took an eight-year hiatus from the big screen after her directorial debut with the film, Ithaca, in 2015.

Throughout the 1990s, Meg was a household name – yet over the last few decades, she removed herself from the spotlight.

In a 2018 interview with Gwyneth Paltrow at the In Goop Health wellness summit she revealed: “I didn’t really aim to be an actor.

“I was a journalism major at school, and a curious person, and I wanted to go back out into the world and figure out who I was — am — in relation to other things and other people and other environments.”

In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, Meg discussed the reasoning behind her break from acting and her interest in the other side of filmmaking.

“I wasn’t as curious about acting as I was about other things that life can give you,” Meg told the outlet. “I wanted to live more.”

Meg continued: “You’re at a disadvantage as a young, famous person because you don’t know who’s telling you the truth.

“I’m not complaining – there are so many advantages to being famous – but there are fundamental disadvantages for a part of your brain, your self, your soul.”

PERSONAL LIFE

On Valentine’s Day in 1991, Meg married actor Dennis Quaid. They share one child, Jack, born in 1992.

In June 2000, she and Dennis separated; their divorce was finalized the following July.

Meg adopted her daughter, Daisy, from China in January 2006.

She dated John Mellencamp on and off from 2011 until 2019. In 2018, for a short period of time, the pair were engaged.

“She’s a great girl,” the singer-songwriter told Esquire in 2023 of his former fiancée.

“I love Meg Ryan. I went with her for 10 years. She doesn’t love me so much.”
