Hollywood legend,Richard Gere and his wife Carey Lowell have separated and are planning on divorcing. The couple, who have been married for 11 years and have a 13-year-old son together, have 'been spending time apart for quite some time.'

The couple met in 1995, after Gere's divorce from supermodel Cindy Crawford, who he was married to from 1991-1995.

After a sustained silence regarding the relationship, he finally opened up to the Mail, saying: 'It's time to tell the world that I am happier, more open and relaxed than I have ever been in my life. I asked her to marry me three years ago, but we have only just got around to doing it.

'I could never figure out how to do it, what with my family, her family and all the moving around we do on our jobs. In the end, we took our kids [Lowell has a daughter by her first marriage], a couple of friends and just did it.

'We are adults who have been through marriage before and do not take it lightly. I felt married from the moment I met her, to tell the truth. But to take that extra step is the biggest stride imaginable. I have no problems with this one at all.'
