Hollywood ‘nepo babies‘ Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere brought back memories of their celebrated parents at the premiere of their new show this week.
Kaia’s mother Cindy Crawford was married to Homer’s father Richard Gere from 1991 to 1995, when both halves of the couple were at the height of their stardom.
Crawford, 60, later achieved more lasting matrimony with businessman Rande Gerber, 64, and the pair welcomed Kaia, 24, and a son called Presley, 27.
Meanwhile Gere, 76, had Homer, 26, by his second ex-wife Carey Lowell, 65, a onetime Bond girl he was married to from 2002 until 2016.
Now Ryan Murphy has united Homer and Kaia for the cast of his FX series The Shards, which he co-created with acclaimed novelist Bret Easton Ellis.
When Homer and Kaia cozied up to each other at the show’s premiere on Monday, they offered a sizzling echo of the poses Crawford once struck with Gere.
The Daily Mail has contacted Kaia and Homer’s representatives for comment.

Crawford and Gere were introduced in the late 1980s at a barbecue hosted by the legendary fashion photographer Herb Ritts.
At the time, Crawford was 22 and her modeling career was on the ascent, while Gere was 37 and had already established himself as an A-list film star.
In 1991, the year after he co-starred with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, Gere eloped with Crawford to Las Vegas, where they sealed their union with aluminum foil rings.
Their marriage went up in flames in 1995, and although Crawford has since described their relationship as a ‘great chapter in my life,’ she also candidly reflected that their age gap had opened a gulf between their sensibilities.
‘I think a lot of what happened with Richard and I was that I was still 22 and at 22 – as a young woman – I was kind of still figuring out who I was and what I wanted to be and he was already 37,’ she told Oprah Winfrey in a 2013 interview on Master Class.
‘So in some ways, he knew that I was still growing and changing. I just didn’t want to hear it from him because at 22 you think you know everything. You think you’re already formed. And then you realize, 10 years later, that they were totally right.’
In 1998 Crawford exchanged vows with Rande Gerber, who later became known for co-founding Casamigos with George Clooney and businessman Mike Meldman.
The pair remain married to this day, and their daughter has followed in her mother’s footsteps to forge a life in the public eye as a model and actress.

Meanwhile Homer, who recently acted with Sydney Sweeney on Euphoria, has kept a veil of privacy drawn over the subject of his own love life.
Homer and Kaia’s new show The Shards is based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 2023 novel of the same name, a roman a clef about his upscale drug-suffused prep school.
With a cast that includes Igby Rigney as Ellis and Evan Rachel Wood in a supporting role, the series is slated to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 5.
