Skirt chaser RICHARD GERE has infuriated his wife Carey Lowell by rushing to comfort gorgeous DIANE LANE after her recent divorce announcement.
The handsome actor, 63, damaged his own shaky marriage by letting Diane – his co-star in the steamy 2008 film “Unfaithful” – cry on his shoulder about her split from Josh Brolin, say sources. At the time, Gere was in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards without his wife.
“Carey is seething that Richard was the first to rush in and help a damsel in distress,” revealed an insider. “She knows he enjoys playing that role and believes he flirts with every vulnerable woman he stumbles upon.”
The couples are old friends. Josh and Diane even stayed at the bed and breakfast inn that Gere and his wife own in Bedford, N.Y.
