After her tragic parting of ways with Griffin, Carey embarked on her new love journey with Richard Gere. She started dating the veteran actor and welcomed a son named Homer James Jigme Gere in February of 2000.
Two years later, the couple finally decided to elevate their relationship and tied the knot. They showed a promising love timeline until they filed for divorce in 2013.
According to sources, the main reason behind the unfortunate events seemed like “contrasting lifestyles” but neither Carey nor Richard shared anything on the topic.
As it happens, the couple battled for three more years for settlement of custody of their son and Richard’s baffling wealth. The Supreme Court in Manhattan finally gave its final word on the case and settled the divorce in October of 2016.
