Cindy Crawford Opens Up About Past Relationship with Richard Gere

Cindy Crawford has shared rare insights about her former husband, Richard Gere, in the newly released docuseries, “The Super Models,” now available for streaming on Apple TV+.

During the series, Crawford, aged 57, reflected on the dynamics of young relationships, expressing how individuals often adapt their interests and behaviors to align with their partner's preferences.

She mentioned Gere's dedication to Tibetan Buddhism as an example of this phenomenon.

The supermodel reminisced about her marriage to Gere, known for his role in “Runaway Bride,” which commenced with a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in 1991.

However, the couple decided to part ways after three years.

At the time of their encounter, Crawford was a 22-year-old rising star.

In the docuseries, Crawford highlighted the age gap between herself and Gere, emphasizing how it influenced their respective social circles and lifestyle choices.

She alluded to a shift in her activities, moving away from certain fashion-related pursuits during their relationship.

Despite their differences, Crawford recalled a notable appearance at the 63rd Academy Awards alongside Gere in 1991.

She described her red carpet choice as a bold statement that marked a resurgence of high fashion at the prestigious event.

In a candid moment on “Oprah's Master Class” in 2013, Crawford delved into the complexities of her connection with Gere.

She acknowledged the disparity in their ages, recognizing that her formative years clashed with Gere's established identity.

Crawford admitted her initial resistance to Gere's guidance, only to later appreciate his perspective as she matured.

Reflecting on their time together, Crawford admitted to feeling a lack of quality time spent with Gere.

This sentiment was echoed in a 2015 interview with Porter magazine, where she touched upon the challenges of balancing personal and professional commitments within their relationship.

Since her divorce from Gere, Crawford has found happiness with Rande Gerber, whom she wed in 1998.

The couple shares two children, Kaia and Presley, both of whom have followed in their mother's footsteps in the world of fashion.

On the other hand, Gere has built a family with his wife Alejandra Silva, raising two sons together.

He also maintains a strong bond with his eldest son, Homer, from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell.
