Actor Richard Gere and his wife Carey Lowell have announced they have separated and are planning to divorce.
According to the New York Post, the couple have not been photographed since last year when they attended the Arbitrage premiere.
A source close to the couple claimed that the pair have “been spending time apart for quite some time.”
Another source told the paper that the pair had very different lifestyles, Gere likes his privacy and Lowell likes socializing.
“They have a place in Bedford [NY], and he likes it because it’s quiet and he likes the solitude,” said the insider. “She likes being in North Haven in the limelight. They live next door to Jimmy Buffett and his family, and they’re good friends.”
Gere was previously married to Cindy Crawford while Lowell has been married twice before. The pair have a son together, Homer. The couple were together for seven years before they got married.
The source also claimed it was unclear when the pair will file for divorce.
