<\/p>\nRichard Gere, a devoted father and husband, turned 73 today! His life is currently fully focused on family. However, his journey to become a family guy with a devoted wife was difficult and long. <\/p>\n
In 1995, shortly after divorcing supermodel Cindy Crawford, Gere met Carey Lowell. <\/p>\n
Before moving forward, the pair dated for seven years. Lowell was a practicing Buddhist at the time, and Gere was just starting out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because of his faith, the actor took his time getting married; he stated, \u2018Like the rest of the world, I’m crawling on my belly. To me, life is an exercise in introspection. Definitely the journey one makes.\u2019<\/p>\n
The couple wed in a modest ceremony that was kept a secret for some time. Lowell and Gere opted to have a small ceremony with their children serving as witnesses after Gere said he couldn’t convince their family to travel. <\/p>\n
Hannah Dunne, a child from Lowell’s former marriage to Griffin Dunne, and Homer, a child from her relationship with Gere.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Lowell and Gere have both been married before, so they are both aware of the effort required to maintain a lifetime commitment. <\/p>\n
Gere said he already felt married to Lowell, so taking the next step felt natural for the couple. Nevertheless, the couple did not rush to walk down the aisle. I have absolutely no issues with this one, he continued. <\/p>\n
A 4-year divorce marked the end of Richard’s 11-year marriage. <\/p>\n
Gere and Lowell decided to separate after 11 years of marriage. Their allegedly disparate lives were the cause of the separation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lowell wanted to mingle and be in the spotlight, whereas Gere, a Buddhist, preferred a life of solitary solitude. <\/p>\n
Although their divorce was a protracted and difficult process, their separation was brought on by irreconcilable disagreements. <\/p>\n
The divorce entailed a custody dispute, and the parties could not come to an agreement on how Gere’s wealth should be divided.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The actress believed she deserved half of everything because she sacrificed her career for Lowell and supported their son Homer, thus she sought a hundred million dollars of his $250 million wealth. <\/p>\n
Following some legal wrangling, the former couple finally came to an understanding over the divorce’s custody issue.<\/p>\n

After four years of protracted court negotiations, Lowell and Gere’s divorce was finally approved. <\/p>\n
