'Hate Him': Paul Simon's Daughter Chastises Richard Gere, Hopes Her Dead Pets Will Haunt Him

NEW CANAAN, CONNECTICUT, JUL 9 – Richard Gere sold the childhood home of Paul Simon's daughter for $10.75 million to developers planning a nine-house project, prompting public criticism from Lulu Simon.

  • In October 2024, Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva sold their 32-acre estate in New Canaan, which they had acquired in 2022 from musician Paul Simon and his wife Edie Brickell, for $10.75 million.
  • Gere bought the land under the condition to care for it but never moved in, and Lulu Simon, Paul Simon’s daughter, accused him of breaking this promise by selling to developers.
  • The developer plans to demolish the 1930s English country-style home to create nine lots ranging from 2.2 to 4.8 acres each, as reported in May 2024.
  • Lulu Simon took to Instagram to express her frustration over the sale and planned demolition of her childhood home, saying she hopes the pets she laid to rest in the yard will linger in the new owner's mind and cause ongoing torment.
  • The sale coincides with Gere and Silva’s plan to relocate to Spain, with Gere stating he would give his wife six years living in her world after she gave him six in his.
