Meg Ryan has opened up about her 2000 marriage break-up in a candid new magazine article, revealing her ex-husband Dennis Quaid's infidelities became apparent after they divorced.

Private Ryan and Quaid have refused to divulge the details of their split, which shocked Hollywood eight years ago, but now the actress once dubbed 'America's sweetheart' is talking to InStyle magazine about the dark days that followed her divorce.

She tells the upcoming October issue of the publication, "Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced."

The When Harry Met Sally star was blamed for the break-up of the marriage - after she appeared to be romancing Russell Crowe, but she insists the tabloid scandal wasn't what it appeared to be - and her former beau, Crowe, took too much blame.

She adds, .I think he took a big hit, but Russell didn.t break up the marriage. He was definitely there at the end, but it wasn.t his fault. I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn.t be in another long relationship, it wasn.t the time for that. So I got out."

Eight years later, she's upbeat about the hit she took as her marriage fell apart: .My time as a scarlet woman was really interesting. As painful as it was, it was also incredibly liberating. I didn.t have to care about what people thought..

Actress Meg Ryan felt guilty over her divorce from Dennis Quaid - even though she was only partly to blame.

Ryan reveals it wasn't until after the dissolution of her ten-year marriage in 2001 that she learned details of Quaid's alleged infidelity, adding that she blamed herself for the pair's split long after their separation.

She tells U.S. magazine InStyle: "When the woman cheats, it's the woman's fault. When the man cheats, it's the woman's fault."

The When Harry Met Sally star insists she felt like "a scarlet woman having a reckless affair that destroyed my marriage" after being attacked by the media for straying from actor Quaid.

Although she remains quiet on many of the details, Ryan did admit on U.S. TV show Good Morning America: "The truth is I had a very complicated marriage... the last few years I've confused a lot of people really.

"I'm not interested in opening up my marriage, I just feel like every now and then you have to fill in the gaps for people... We're not friends really, but we're friendly."

Ryan and Quaid have a 16-year-old son, Jack Henry.
