Big age differences between celebrities are not uncommon, but Cindy Crawford was still finding herself when she was with Richard Gere. “In the beginning of a relationship, when you’re a young woman, you’re like, ‘You like baseball? I like baseball. You’re really into Tibetan Buddhism? I might be into that. I’ll try that.’ You know, you’re willing to kind of mold yourself around whoever you are in love with,” Crawford shared on the Apple TV+ docuseries “The Super Models” (via InStyle).
Crawford had previously brought up their glaring age difference on a 2013 episode of “Oprah’s Master Class.” She shared that at 22 years old, she was still unsure who she was as a person, while Gere, at 37, was already well into adulthood. Crawford revealed that Gere had tried to advise her on matters and she “didn’t want to hear it,” but years later, she saw the wisdom in his words. Now, Crawford feels that her experience was all part of figuring out who she was and who she wanted to be. “Sometimes it’s it’s defining what you don’t want that helps you then get closer to what you do want,” she said.

It’s now been decades since their divorce and despite having no hard feelings toward each other, Crawford once shared how time and distance affected her relationship with Gere.
