The life of the legendary designer Diane von Furstenberg is not only glamorous but also holds intriguing tales.
During an episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” the fashion icon openly acknowledged engaging in a romantic relationship with Richard Gere.
Amid a light-hearted game named “DVF or WTF” on the show, the 72-year-old playfully described the past liaison as more than just a casual encounter.
In her candid revelation, she humorously admitted, “Well, it was a f–k,” much to the surprise of host Andy Cohen and fellow guest Julianne Moore.
This disclosure echoes details previously shared in her memoir “The Woman I Wanted to Be” from 2015.
Von Furstenberg disclosed that Gere's agent expressed concerns about their relationship negatively impacting his career, as documented by Vogue.
The year 1980 marked Gere's appearance in the film “American Gigolo,” a production by Paramount Pictures overseen by Barry Diller at the time, who happened to be von Furstenberg's long-term partner.
Despite eventually tying the knot with Diller in 2001, their relationship was characterized by periods of separation and reconciliation spanning several decades.
In a 2013 interview with the New York Times Magazine, von Furstenberg affectionately referred to Diller as her lover, friend, and now husband, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of their enduring bond over the 35 years they had spent together.
On a parallel note, Gere, aged 69, has been married to Cindy Crawford, Carey Lowell, and currently Alejandra Silva.
The couple welcomed their first child in February,
