Why Cindy Crawford Says Her First Marriage Was a Gift

Why Cindy Crawford Says Her First Marriage Was a Gift

They were the most beautiful couple on the planet. But their marriage was doomed. When 25-year-old supermodel Cindy Crawford married 42-year-old Richard Gere, she was ready to become part of his world. But his world, full of Buddhism, the Dalai Lama, and solitude, was alien to her. “I followed him, but he never followed me,” she would later say. Their marriage fell apart, leaving her with a sense of failure. And then she found solace where she least expected it—in friendship. Rande Gerber wasn’t a Hollywood star; he was just a man with whom she could be herself. They got married barefoot on a beach. Twenty-six years later, their union isn’t just a love story. It’s the story of a woman who realized she didn’t need an idol, but a partner. As she herself said, “Richard taught me what I didn’t want. And Rande showed me what I really needed.”
