#22: His Relationship With His Son

Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson adopted their son, Quinton Anderson Reynolds, in 1988, the same year they married. Reynolds was thrilled to become a father and spoke often about how much he loved Quinton. However, after his bitter divorce from Anderson in 1994, their custody battle strained his relationship with his son.

Despite the difficulties, Reynolds remained proud of Quinton, who chose a career behind the scenes in Hollywood, working as a camera assistant. Reynolds often regretted how his personal struggles affected their bond, but he always clarified that he deeply loved his son.
