The reason Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere's marriage didn't work out

They broke our hearts and everything stirs us again when we hear their story of heartbreak.

Richard and Cindy met at a celebrity barbecue in 1988, at the home of photographer Herb Ritts to be precise. Crawford was 22 years old at the time and everyone was looking at her, especially Gere. They spontaneously married 4 years later in Las Vegas.

Cindy was Richard's real-life Pretty Woman (omitting the prostitution part, of course). Crawford admits to learning a lot from her ex, including how to be famous and how to carry it off.

Well, this is more for Cindy because the moment she and her husband arrived at the 1991 Academy Awards will go down in fashion history forever. The model herself wore a red Versace dress (which has since inspired hundreds of her dresses) and she became such an influential person that she even has her own page on Wikipedia. In this case, no one paid much attention to Richard's outfit on the red carpet.

There were many actors involved in the divorce of Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere in 1995. Being as famous as they were at the time, rumors about their relationship crossed all boundaries. Although both parties denied all of it, tabloids claimed several times that both Richard and Cindy were gay and that their marriage was just marketing. Crawford laughed it off and even joked with the press: "With all the women she's been with, when has she ever had time to be gay?"

Years later, Cindy admitted that they didn't spend enough time together during their marriage. In addition, she pointed out the 17-year age difference between the two. "I was still 22 years old and at 22 years old - as a young woman - I was still finding myself and discovering who he was and who he wanted to be when he was 37," Crawford said in an interview. "I just say that being 20 for a woman is a key time to begin to know how you feel, to connect with your inner strength and it is very difficult to do it in a relationship because that person already has everything clear. I think that with 22 years ago I got carried away a bit but then I began to think that I didn't want to just get carried away, that I wanted to lead the situation.

Cindy thinks that she and Richard should have learned to be friends rather than lovers. "I think part of the problem with our relationship is that we were many things but I don't think we were friends. And of course, over the years I've realized that it's hard to change the nature of a relationship once you're fully in it and that It was our mistake."

Since she separated from Crawford a quarter century later, Gere has married twice more. He married actress Carey Lowell in 2002, with whom he had his son Homer Jamer Jigme Gere in 2000. They then separated in 2016 and he fell in love with Spanish publicist Alejandra Silva. The couple got married in April 2018 and are already expecting a child together.

Professionally, Richard has reached several career peaks over the past two decades, including the Golden Globe he won for Chicado and an Arbitrage nomination. The actor is currently working on a BBC series called 'MotherFatherSon', which will premiere in 2019.

Crawford, for her part, married her husband Rande Gerber in 1998, giving birth to her two children: Presley (19) and Kaia (16) and both follow in the modeling footsteps of their parents. she.

The most famous model in the world forgot about the modeling world in the year 2000, although she does occasionally appear in a runway show. Since she retired, Cindy has dedicated herself to doing three things: launching her own furniture collection, writing her own autobiography, and focusing on her charitable activities.
