Kaia Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford, and Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere, recently attended the premiere party for their new FX series, "The Shards." The series, created by Ryan Murphy, is based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis.
Gerber, 24, and Gere, 26, are often referred to as "nepo-babies" due to their famous parents, who were married from 1991 to 1995. They both play roles in the upcoming series. Gerber stars as Susan Reynolds, part of an elite social circle, while Gere portrays Robert Mallory, a mysterious new student.

The Shards" is described as a violent and sexually charged story set in 1980s Los Angeles, focusing on a group of privileged high schoolers and a serial killer known as The Trawler. The novel itself is a semi-autobiographical account of Ellis's adolescence.
Gerber's mother, Cindy Crawford, attended the premiere to show her support. Crawford, who began dating Richard Gere in the late 1980s when she was 22, married Gere in 1991. She is now married to Rande Gerber, Kaia's father, whom she wed in 1998. Gere was married to Carey Lowell from 2002 to 2016 and is now married to Alejandra Silva.
Kaia Gerber has established herself as a prominent model, earning Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2018 and appearing on the cover of Vogue multiple times. Her acting credits include "Palm Royale" and the film "Mother Mary." Homer Gere's role in "The Shards" is a significant step in his acting career.
The series also features actors such as Wes Bentley, Evan Rachel Wood, and Jordan Roth in adult roles. The project was initially in development with director Luca Guadagnino for HBO before being picked up by Murphy and FX.
"The Shards" is set to premiere with two episodes on August 5 at 9 p.m. ET on Hulu and FX.
