  • Richard Gere May Be Looking at Pricey Divorce

    Richard Gere might be heading towards giving up half of his estimated $250 million fortune, as divorce proceedings commence with his estranged wife Carey Lowell.

    A source told Page Six, “they are not getting along and they are very far apart on how much money she will get in their divorce.” The source added, “she (Lowell) can claim she gave up her career for him and for their 14-year-old son Homer, and that she deserves half of all his earnings since they got married in 2002.”

    Gere, 65, got married to Lowell, 53, in 2002, and the two have cited “lifestyle differences” as the cause of their separation. Gere, who shot to stardom after playing male escort Julian Kaye in 1980’s American Gigolo, raked in roughly $83 million in 2013, according to People Magazine. The actor’s bayfront manor in North Haven in the Hamptons is on the market for $47.5 million, which might be indicative that he is well aware a lofty divorce settlement is impending.

    Lowell, who worked on NBC’s Law & Order between 1996-2001, filed for divorce in June, and is presently living in a rented house in the Hamptons. Lowell’s lawyer Robert Cohen commented that it was too early to discuss how much the divorce settlement might be. “Nobody has asked for anything yet,” Cohen told Page Six. “But she certainly wants her fair share of the marital assets.”

    Gere, who was spotted with Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi, reportedly threatened the paparazzi with an umbrella after an October court appearance with Lowell. Gere and Lowell refused to acknowledge one another during the courtroom proceedings.

    Lowell, who had been married twice before meeting Gere, is reportedly seeing a man who is going through his own contentious divorce, and the Pretty Woman actor is said to be highly displeased.

    Richard Gere, Padma Lakshmi Call It Quits

    Richard Gere and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi have reportedly called it quits after dating for about six months. They two started dating following Gere’s split from wife Carey Lowell.

    “It started very recently and quietly. It’s very new,” a source told Us Weekly back in April. “I wouldn’t even go as far as calling them a couple. They are dating. It’s the first time Padma has dated anyone since Teddy [Forstmann, who died in 2011], and it’s something she’s been approaching very, very delicately.”

    “They’re just getting to know each other. They’re just having fun,” the source added.

    Apparently that fun is over.

    Richard Gere and Carey Lowell are parents to teenage son Homer. Lakshmi has a daughter, four-year-old Kristina. Richard Gere was once married to supermodel Cindy Crawford.

    The Pretty Woman actor recently touted his latest film, Time Out of Mind, in which he plays a homeless man.

    “What probably really helped was I was right in the middle of a divorce [from Carey Lowell], so the emotions were right on the surface,” he joked during his speech at he Film Society of Lincoln Center last week. No mention was made of his split from Padma Lakshmi.

    Lakshmi also shied away from mentioning her split from Richard Gere. She didn’t say anything while a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday and she failed to mention it while she was on The Today Show on Tuesday. E! reports she did mention recently–while on TV–that she is single.

    It will be interesting to learn if anything is divulged about the reasons behind Richard Gere and Padma Lakshmi’s split. Certainly after just six months–and the very low profile the two kept–people didn’t expect a ‘happily ever after.’ Inquiring minds always like to learn the details, however.

Lakshmi also has a three-year-old daughter, Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell, with venture capitalist ex-boyfriend Adam Dell, the brother of computer maker Michael Dell.
