Richard Gere and Carey Lowell‘s marriage is officially over. The couple reportedly finalized their four-year-long divorce on Tuesday, Oct. 18 in Manhattan Supreme Court. According to Page Six, neither Richard, 67, nor Carey, 55, were present in the courthouse at the time of their divorce settlement.
As they move forward separately, the end of their marriage marks a significant moment for both parties. They were once a Hollywood power couple, sharing a life together for many years. Their split, coming after over a decade of marriage, has drawn attention not only because of their celebrity status but also due to the complexities involved in their divorce proceedings.
Richard Gere and Carey Lowell were parents to one son, Homer, who is now 16 years old. Their journey as a couple began in 2002 when they tied the knot, but after 11 years together, they announced their separation in 2013. The lengthy divorce process that followed included numerous court appearances as they negotiated custody and financial matters.

Their marriage has attracted a great deal of attention, especially considering Richard's previous marriage to supermodel Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995. The public interest in their relationship and subsequent divorce is fueled by Richard's fame as the star of iconic films such as Pretty Woman and Carey's own successful career in modeling and acting.
The former couple's divorce has been described as a lengthy and challenging process. Although they quickly agreed on joint custody of their son, the division of Richard's substantial fortune, estimated at nearly $45 million, proved to be contentious.
Over the four years of their divorce proceedings, Richard and Carey were seen in court numerous times. This drawn-out battle highlights the complexities that can arise when wealth and family matters intersect, particularly for high-profile individuals.
