The Truth About Cindy Crawford's Marriages: From Richard Gere to Rande Gerber



She's the face that launched a thousand magazine covers, the supermodel who defined an era, and for younger generations, simply "Kaia Gerber's mom." But when it comes to Cindy Crawford's love life, there's plenty of confusion swirling around the internet. Is the iconic beauty divorced? Single? Taken? Let's clear things up once and for all.


Despite what occasional rumors might suggest, Cindy Crawford is very much married and has been for nearly three decades. But her path to lasting love wasn't without a detour through Hollywood royalty first.



The Richard Gere Chapter

Long before she was a lifestyle mogul or modeling matriarch, Crawford was the undisputed queen of the runway. In the early '90s, she was everywhere—magazines, runways, MTV fashion specials. So when she began dating Richard Gere, fresh off his *Pretty Woman* resurgence, the pairing was nothing short of celebrity catnip.


They married in 1991, when Crawford was 25 and Gere was 41. For four years, they were one of those couples who seemed to exist in a rarefied air of glamour and exclusivity. But by 1995, it was over.


In the years since, Crawford has spoken about the marriage with surprising warmth, especially given how rarely she discusses her personal life. She's credited Gere with helping her navigate the treacherous waters of sudden, massive fame—something he understood intimately. When you don't grow up in the industry, having a partner who gets the spotlight can be invaluable.


But she's also been honest about the challenges, particularly the 17-year age gap. While not the sole reason for their split, she's acknowledged it was a factor, a reminder that even the most beautiful couples aren't immune to the quiet ways incompatibility can erode a relationship.



The Rande Gerber Era

If her first marriage was a Hollywood fairy tale, her second was the foundation of a dynasty.


On May 29, 1998, Crawford married Rande Gerber, a businessman building an empire of his own in the nightlife and spirits industry. (You might know him as George Clooney's longtime friend and business partner in the Casamigos tequila brand.) It was a different kind of partnership—less flashbulbs, more genuine connection.


Together, they built a family. Son Presley Walker Gerber arrived in 1999, followed by daughter Kaia Jordan Gerber in 2001. Both children inherited their mother's striking looks and eventually followed her into modeling, though with distinctly different trajectories.


Presley has navigated the ups and downs of young adulthood in the public eye, including some well-documented controversies. Kaia, meanwhile, has become a bona fide fashion force in her own right, walking for the biggest designers and dating some of the most sought-after young stars in Hollywood. There are actually corners of the internet where Kaia is now more famous than her mother—a true nepo baby rite of passage, as common as knowing Anderson Cooper without realizing his mother was the legendary Gloria Vanderbilt.



Happily Ever After, Still Going Strong

So where do things stand today for the original supermodel? Crawford and Gerber remain very much together, defying the odds in an industry where long marriages can feel like unicorns. They've weathered the rumors, the scrutiny, and the challenges of raising children in the spotlight, emerging on the other side with their bond intact.


More than a quarter-century after saying "I do," they're still going strong. It's a testament to something rare: finding the right person the second time around and building something that lasts.


For Crawford, the journey from Mrs. Richard Gere to Mrs. Rande Gerber wasn't just a change of name—it was a change of course. One led to a divorce, the other to a legacy. And in the end, that's the real story behind the headlines.
