Their very famous parents were married 30 years ago, now the young actors are working together: "It's a small world".

A reunion of sorts has taken place in Hollywood, with two young actors, Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, taking on leading roles together in a new series titled The Shards. Their connection runs deeper than their current collaboration: they are the children of once-married celebrities Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere, who were married from 1991 to 1995. Now three decades later, their paths have crossed again, this time on screen. Kaia Gerber, daughter of model Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, and Homer Gere, son of actor Richard Gere and former actress Carey Lowell, are starring in The Shards, an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel of the same name set in Los Angeles in 1981. The series follows high school students at an elite academy who become targets of a serial killer known as The Trawler. It will debut on August 5 on FX and Hulu. Both actors have been working on the project for some time, and their collaboration has drawn considerable attention from fans and media alike. Kaia Gerber, who previously worked as a model before transitioning into acting, spoke about her experience working with Homer Gere during a recent press event. She revealed that she had never met him before the start of filming. “Honestly, I was waiting to meet him,” she said, adding that they became acquainted just days before production began. “It was really nice. Working with him has been amazing, he’s a great person. He grew up on the East Coast, I on the West Coast, but we’ve really connected. You couldn’t ask for a better co-star.” Cindy Crawford attended the premiere of The Shards at New York’s SVA Theatre, supporting her daughter’s growing acting career. Later, she was spotted at a dinner party following the event at El Quijote restaurant in the Chelsea neighborhood. Richard Gere did not attend the premiere. Crawford and Gere’s marriage lasted four years, ending in divorce in 1995. In a 2013 interview with Oprah’s Master Class, Crawford reflected on the relationship, noting that she was only 22 when they got married. “I was still figuring out who I was and what I wanted to become,” she said. At the time, Gere, who was 37, knew he was changing and growing, while she felt she needed more guidance. “Ten years later, I realized he was right,” she added. Today, she acknowledges that she preferred to follow rather than lead in relationships, eventually seeking a partnership built on equality. After their divorce, Crawford married Rande Gerber and had two children: Kaia and Presley. Gere remained married to Lowell until his remarriage to Alejandro Silvo, with whom he has two sons. The Shards marks the latest collaboration between writer-producer Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis, whose semi-autobiographical novel inspired the series. The show is set against the backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles, capturing the era’s social dynamics and cultural shifts. With its star-studded cast and high-profile production team, the series has already generated anticipation among viewers and critics. As the premiere date approaches, both Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere continue to work on final preparations for the show. Their on-screen chemistry has been praised in early reviews, with many noting the significance of their real-life connection. Meanwhile, Cindy Crawford has expressed pride in watching her daughter take on such a prominent role. The Shards will air on FX and Hulu starting August 5.
