Now, here's a story that’s got a bit of everything: glamour, intrigue, and a touch of celebrity drama. Imagine this: you're sitting on a comfy couch, chatting it up with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and suddenly, the conversation takes a turn you didn’t see coming. That’s exactly what happened when Diane von Furstenberg, the legendary designer known for her iconic wrap dresses, revealed a steamy secret about her past with none other than the suave Richard Gere. And where better to share such a juicy tidbit than on live television?
When Legends Collide: Diane von Furstenberg and Richard Gere
On a crisp Thursday evening, March 7, the 72-year-old fashion icon graced the set of Watch What Happens Live. Host Andy Cohen, the king of making celebrities spill their guts, was joined by the equally fabulous Julianne Moore. The trio engaged in a game called “DVF or WTF,” a playful spin on true or false. The first question posed to the audience and guests was, “Back in the day, did Diane von Furstenberg have a brief but memorable fling with Richard Gere?”
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Andy Cohen, sharp as ever, guessed that the statement was true. Julianne Moore, however, wasn’t so sure and went with false. But let me tell you, Andy hit the nail right on the head. When asked directly, Diane didn’t hold back. With a laugh that could light up a room, she said, “Well, it was a f–k,” leaving the audience in stitches and giving everyone a moment they’ll never forget.

Love, Life, and Everything in Between
These days, Diane is happily married to the successful businessman Barry Diller, while Richard, who’s now 69, is enjoying married life with Alejandra Silva. They tied the knot in 2018, and by all accounts, Richard couldn’t be happier. He once told Hello! magazine, “I’m the happiest man in the universe. How could I not be? I’m married to a beautiful woman who is smart, sensitive, committed to helping people, fun, patient, knows how to forgive, is a great cook, and makes the best salads in the world!”
Richard didn’t stop there. He went on to gush about Alejandra, saying, “She meditates, she’s a vegetarian, a great mother, has the touch of an angel, and she’s also Spanish — the land of kings and queens, of Cervantes and Buñuel. You can’t get any better than that.”
The Next Chapter
Life keeps rolling along for both Diane and Richard. In February, Richard and Alejandra welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, adding another beautiful chapter to their story. Richard also has a 19-year-old son, Homer James Jigme, from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell. Alejandra, too, is a proud mom to a 6-year-old son named Albert from a previous relationship.
So, while the Diane and Richard story may be a thing of the past, it’s clear that both are living their best lives, surrounded by love and happiness. And hey, who doesn’t love a good Hollywood love story with a twist?
