Thirty years after parting ways, the children of Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford, once called "the most beautiful couple in the world," have met in a single drama.

Kaija Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford, one of Hollywood's top talk-of-the-town couples in the 1990s, and Homer Gerber, son of Richard Gere, are working together on FX Networks' new drama "The Shards." Crawford and Gere married in 1991 but divorced in 1995 without having children. Gerber is actually Crawford's daughter from her subsequent marriage to Randy Gerber, while Homer is Gere's son from his remarriage to Carey Lowell. The two, who share no blood relation, have crossed paths in the same production unrelated to their parents' past relationship.

The pair shared their thoughts with E! News at the "The Shards" red carpet event held in New York last month on the 27th. Homer remarked, "It's a really funny situation," adding, "We hadn't even met before filming began. We first met and became friends at a bar two weeks before shooting started along with other cast members." When asked by AP whether he knew Homer beforehand due to their parents' connection, Gerber jokingly replied, "What connection?" He further added, "Once you're inside, he's just an ordinary guy. He has become a very close friend of mine."

Gerber expressed her affection, saying, "Working with Homer was truly wonderful. He is such a fun person that laughter never stopped, and he was the best co-star." She continued, "We grew very close while going through this process in an atmosphere where we genuinely supported each other." Homer also revealed that he calls his father, Richard Gere, almost every day on set, noting that he mostly seeks advice not on acting but on how to conduct himself on set and build a long-lasting career. He described his father as "the most precious asset I have."

The two's meeting became a topic of interest from the early stages of filming. In photos captured on set in October last year, Gerber, dressed in a monochromatic red look with a glamorous curly hairstyle, bore a striking resemblance to her mother Crawford, while Homer, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, looked much like his father Gere. Foreign media referred to this as a "double nepo baby sighting."

"The Shards" is a youth thriller created by Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis set in Los Angeles in 1981, which was released on the 5th. Crawford also attended the screening to support her daughter.

Crawford and Gere were Hollywood's power couple of the 1990s. A photo of the two attending the 1993 Academy Awards together remains widely circulated as a style icon of that era. Gerber previously worked with Ryan Murphy on the "American Horror Story" series.
