Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere are figures quite popular and recognizable - everyone in their industry. Gere is a famous Hollywood actor whom many ladies fell in love with for their role as a billionaire in the fairy tale story "Pretty Woman" (blowing with Julia Roberts). And Crawford is one of the first models of America that promoted a healthy lifestyle and fitness as an incentive to remain beautiful and athletic until old age. The girl even released a series of videos in which she showed everyone how to properly organize sports training without leaving home. Of course, today's youth have heard about Hollywood celebrities, but few people know that these two were united not only by fame and popularity. They were connected by a romantic relationship. We decided to recall the love story of Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere to tell the reader the whole truth about their personal life together.
Under the gun
In the early 90's, perhaps, there was not a single person who did not know Richard and Cindy. This time can be called a rapid rise in the career of both, therefore, when the public became aware that a romance had begun between the young people, they simply could not hide from the annoying attention. The now famous Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt can hardly be compared with Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere in terms of universal adoration and the desire to constantly monitor the events in their relationship. Cindy Crawford was considered the most beautiful woman in the world, and after the sensational film "Pretty Woman", which we mentioned above, all the representatives of the fair half of humanity were in love with Richard Gere. The couple was considered the most beautiful in the history of Hollywood, idolized them and were ready to give everything in order to find out at least a little about the personal life of celebrities.
Acquaintance
The love story of Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere began with their acquaintance on a barbecue with a mutual friend - Herb Ritz, who at that time was a sought-after photographer in Hollywood and was shooting Cindy for one well-known print publication. The model recalls that she was then a little over twenty and she was just starting to plunge into the world of show business. This party was full of celebrities, including sought-after talented actors. Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere quickly found a common language with each other. By chance it turned out that they had a huge number of common interests, acquaintances and almost the same sense of humor.
Young people almost immediately after meeting began to meet. At this moment, they were more popular than ever, and their careers developed rapidly. It is worth noting that the personal life of Richard Gere was constantly exaggerated in the press. He was credited with an affair with Julia Roberts. However, neither being young, nor now does Gere let journalists into private life, anxiously protecting her relatives from the annoying attention. Therefore, an affair with a young model became for everyone the main intrigue of the outgoing century, and ignorance, guesses and assumptions of the paparazzi and the press heated up interest in a couple in love with incredible strength.
Happy relationship
Journalists were ready to offer any money, if only to attend the wedding of Gear and Crawford. They were looking for all kinds of information about a possible upcoming event, but everything happened as no one expected. A young successful model, and in combination also the most beautiful woman on the planet, did not think about a wedding with Richard Gere. But during a trip to Los Angeles in 1991, they got married. The wedding ceremony was held in one of the famous chapels of the city in the presence of four witnesses. All this cost the Hollywood actor a ridiculous price of $ 500. The bride and groom did not even have rings, so they made them from chewing gum foil. The newlyweds were happy and did not imagine that family life would be a difficult test for their feelings.
The openness of the spouse, gossip, invasion of personal life …
Richard was constantly on the set, and Cindy often took pictures and participated in shows, talked with reporters, was a regular on various talk shows. The last two facts annoyed the actor, because his young wife was constantly asked personal questions, which she gladly answered live. As mentioned above, the personal life of Richard Gere has always been a mystery to others, but with the advent of Cindy, her details became available to the public. Newspapers constantly published articles about young people. Moreover, both truth and frank nonsense were written. In the popular publication People, a provocative article was published, which said that the marriage of the actor and model is an advertising company to raise the image of a young and promising Crawford. The actor was nervous, could not calmly relate to such information. At first he tried to assure everyone that their union was very important for both, as if the couple were making grandiose plans for a joint future. However, the situation pretty spoiled the nerves of the actor, and the relationship of young people in the end still gave a crack. The couple parted first, and later divorced altogether.
The end of the relationship
Many years after this story, we can say that there were several reasons for the divorce of Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford:
- The attention of journalists played a major role in the discord. The couple could not take a single step - the paparazzi were everywhere.
- The model in her interviews, given after breaking up with the actor, noted that Richard, during their life together, became interested in Buddhism and tried to impose his interests on her. Crawford did not share her husband’s religious views and, according to her, reluctance to become a Buddhist caused a breakdown in relations.
- For Cindy Crawford, children were an important part of the family. She never hid it and dreamed of becoming a mother, considering such a destiny of a woman the most beautiful gift of the Almighty. The actor did not plan to continue the clan and did not want to rush things. Many years later, Gere admitted that he loved his wife very much, did not want to lose her, but the circumstances were stronger than them.
