SHE THOUGHT SHE NEEDED AN IDOL—UNTIL SHE FOUND A PARTNER

SHE THOUGHT SHE NEEDED AN IDOL—UNTIL SHE FOUND A PARTNER

Cindy Crawford was just 25 when she married Richard Gere, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. She tried to fit into his world of spirituality, Buddhism, and quiet reflection, but over time, she realized she was losing herself. Looking back, Cindy reflected, “I followed him, but he never followed me.” Their marriage ended, leaving her heartbroken—but it also taught her an unforgettable lesson. Years later, she met Rande Gerber, a man who made her feel comfortable simply being herself. They married barefoot on a beach, and decades later, their relationship remains strong. Reflecting on both chapters of her life, Cindy said, “Richard taught me what I didn’t want. And Rande showed me what I really needed.” “Her first marriage gave her heartbreak. Her second gave her home.” Because sometimes, “the greatest love begins when you stop searching for perfection and start choosing partnership.”
