In a recent episode of the Apple TV+ docuseries "The Super Models," Cindy Crawford offered a rare glimpse into her former life with actor Richard Gere. The supermodel, now 57, reflected on how dating and eventually marrying an older man impacted her lifestyle. Crawford met Gere when she was just 22 years old, and she described the initial excitement of trying to mold herself to match his interests and beliefs. "You like baseball? I like baseball... You're really into Tibetan Buddhism? I might be into that. I'll try that," she said, recounting the early stages of their relationship.

Crawford revealed that being with an older partner placed her in a different social circle, causing her to step away from her fashion-forward lifestyle. "He was older, so I just was like in a different circle, and not doing some of those same fashion-ey things anymore," she explained. This difference in circles became evident when Crawford accompanied Gere to the Oscars. As a model, Crawford believed her strength was in wearing clothes well, so she wanted to make a fashion statement at the event. She turned to renowned designer Gianni Versace, who created a stunning red dress for her to wear. Crawford's appearance at the Oscars sparked a resurgence of fashion influence at the prestigious event.

Despite their high-profile relationship, Crawford and Gere's marriage didn't last. They divorced in 1995 after four years together. Crawford moved on and eventually married Rande Gerber, whom she met while still dating Gere. She described how their friendship blossomed after her breakup with Gere and Gerber's own relationship ending. "When I met him I was still with Richard, and he didn't want to go to the wedding with me," Crawford revealed. "Rande also had a girlfriend at the time, so he wasn't looking to meet anyone either, and that's the best time to meet someone because that's when you're truly yourselves. We became friends, and after Richard and I broke up, then we started dating."

Crawford and Gerber now have two children together, daughter Kaia, 22, and son Presley, 24, both of whom have followed in their mother's footsteps as models. As for Gere, he moved on to marry Carey Lowell in 2002, but they divorced in 2016. In 2018, he married his current wife, Alejandra Silva, with whom he has two sons.

Crawford's recent comments in "The Super Models" echo previous statements she has made about her relationship with Gere. In a 2013 interview on "Oprah's Master Class," she reflected on their short-lived romance, acknowledging that she was still young and figuring out who she was at the time. "I think a lot of what happened with Richard and I was I was still 22 and at 22 as a young woman, I was kind of still figuring out who I was and what I wanted to be," she said. "He was already 37, so in some ways he knew that I was still growing and changing."

While their relationship didn't stand the test of time, Crawford remains grateful for the lessons she learned from her time with Gere. She admitted that she didn't want to hear his advice at the time but later realized he was right. "I didn't want to hear it from him because at 22, you think you know everything and you think you're already formed, and then you realize 10 years later, you're like, 'Oh my gosh, they were totally right.'"

Overall, Crawford's candid reflections on her past relationship with Gere give viewers a deeper understanding of her personal journey and the impact it had on her life and career as one of the most successful supermodels of the '90s.
