In November 1992, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere, then married, appeared together on the cover of Vogue. Nearly 34 years later, their children did it too.
Kaia Gerber, now 25, and Homer Gere, 26, fronted Vogue's September 2026 issue, photographed by Steven Meisel. The cover story ran on Aug. 11 and was timed to The Shards, the FX series in which they both star.
Their parents were married from 1991 to 1995. Crawford went on to marry Rande Gerber, Kaia's father, in 1998. Richard Gere later married Carey Lowell, Homer's mother. Kaia and Homer are not related.
"Should we just acknowledge the fact that our parents were married?"
The two met only shortly before filming. Gere told USA Today in July that they had never met before shooting, and "we met two weeks before at a bar with all the cast." Gerber told ET it was about one week before. Either way, the subject came up fast. Gere told Vogue: "Twenty minutes into knowing each other, I was like, 'Should we just acknowledge the fact that our parents were married?'" Gerber answered, "Yeah. Cool."
Gerber was just as direct about the nepotism question that follows both of them. "I've only ever been a nepo baby, and I've only ever benefited in my career from it," she told Vogue. She added that she catches herself doing the same to others: "Okay, show me why you deserve this job."
Crawford has spoken about the pairing too. She told TODAY in September, "I met him while they were filming." Reports did not include a comment from Gere about the cover.
The show behind the cover
The Shards is Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's 2023 novel, a thriller set among rich teenagers at a Los Angeles prep school in 1981, while a serial killer is at large in the city.
Gerber plays Susan Reynolds. Gere plays Robert Mallory, a new student at the school. Igby Rigney plays a young Bret Easton Ellis, and Evan Rachel Wood and Wes Bentley play Liz and Terry Schaffer, the parents of Debbie, who is played by Hayes Warner.
