Married since 1998, the 58-year-old supermodel and Rande Gerber are embarking on a new union, professional this time.
Married for 25 years, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have clearly deciphered the secrets of a marriage that lasts. And a happy marriage at that. In an interview published this Wednesday, May 8, the 58-year-old top model told People the reasons which, according to her, explain the longevity of her relationship. “First of all, Rande and I were friends first,” she explains. Certainly there was chemistry between us, but we were friends, and I think that’s a great foundation to build a marriage on, because even when you’re going through stressful times, the way you treat a good friend is is with respect, understanding and compassion. I feel like that’s what’s gotten us through 25 years and some storms.”
If the Omega muse does not give details on said storms, she opens up more about the content of her arguments with her husband, and gives her advice on how to argue correctly. “We don’t argue in an ugly way,” she said. I think sometimes people say things in the heat of the moment that are then hard to take back, and we don’t do that too much. We try to argue about what the argument is really about and not assassinate each other’s personalities.”

A new chapter
These few details seem to make the difference because after more than two decades spent together, Cindy Crawford and her husband seem far from having tired of each other, on the contrary. As evidenced by their new project, the launch of Casamigas Jalepeño tequila. A project led by the model in the wake of the tequila brand Casamigos, co-founded by her husband with George Clooney and Mike Meldman. A “whole new chapter” for the couple, according to the entrepreneur, while their children, Presley, 24, and Kaia, 22, have now left the nest. “It’s okay to still love yourself when that moment comes, but you also have to recommit to what you’ve decided this new chapter will look like,” says Crawford. I think it can be very exciting, but it has to be a conscious effort. It would be really difficult if one wanted to play golf every day and the other wanted to travel the world. I think you have to have these conversations on an ongoing basis as relationships evolve and develop and change.” When will Cindy Crawford retrain as a marriage counselor?
