CINDY CRAWFORD OPENS UP ABOUT HER MARRIAGE TO RICHARD GERE

Cindy Crawford spoke about her short-lived marriage with Richard Gere on the new Apple TV series The Super Models. The pair met in 1988 and eloped in Las Vegas in 1991, before getting divorced in 1995.

"I think I was 22 when we met," the Fair Game actress said in the new series. Gere was almost 40 at the time. "In the beginning of a relationship, when you're a young woman, you're like, ‘You like baseball? I like baseball. Oh, you're really into Tibetan Buddhism? I might be into that. I'll try that ..."

She added, "You're willing to kind of mold yourself around whoever you are in love with." Crawford has been quiet about her marriage to the Pretty Woman actor in the past—even leaving him out of her 2015 autobiography titled Becoming.

The Armageddon actor's family revealed in 2022 that he was stepping away from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia. In February of this year, the family revealed his condition had "progressed," and that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.


SOPHIE TURNER AND JOE JONAS AGREE TO KEEP THEIR CHILDREN IN NEW YORK FOR NOW

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have temporarily agreed to keep their two children in New York. This news comes just days after the Game of Thrones actress filed a lawsuit stating that the Jonas Brothers singer was preventing the children from returning to "their habitual residence of England" by holding onto their passports.

According to court documents filed on Monday (September 25th), both Turner and Jonas "are prohibited from removing their two children ... or causing the children to be removed from the jurisdictions of the United States District Courts for the Southern & Eastern Districts of New York pending further order of this Court."

This means the former couple's kids cannot be removed from the greater New York City area, including the Hudson Valley and Long Island. Jonas filed for divorce from Turner earlier this month after four years of marriage. Turner claims she found out about the divorce "through the media."
