Richard Gere and his soon-to-be ex-wife Carey Lowell continued their divorce proceedings on Friday, as they ignored each other entirely at Manhattan Supreme Court.

Actor Richard Gere and his estranged wife Carey Lowell were back in Manhattan divorce court Friday morning — fighting over money in their continuing bid to end their 11-year marriage.

“We had a nice chat with the judge. We’re moving along. It’s all about money,” said Lowell’s lawyer, Robert Cohen, as he left Manhattan Supreme Court with “Law & Order” actress.

Gere and his attorney, David Aronson, declined to comment, although the “An Officer and a Gentleman” star did banter briefly with a reporter as he left the courthouse through a back door.

The couple, who have one son, Homer, 15, sat about eight feet apart in the large paneled courtroom for more than a half hour as the lawyers conferred in a private back room with Justice Matthew Cooper.

Gere was buried in the New York Times. Lowell was immersed in The New Yorker.

Then the judge called the pair to join them.

When they emerged about 10 minutes later, Gere had a restrained scowl. Lowell was smiling slightly.

“I can’t say anything,” she said softly in a corridor afterwards.

Before she left the landmark courthouse at 60 Centre Street — where Lowell filmed many segments during her years on the long-running NBC drama — she got special permission from court officers to take pictures of the ornate ceiling mural in the rotunda.

Like the prosecutor that she played, she left through the front door, easing down the large outdoor stairway that was used as a backdrop many times by the hit TV show.

Richard Gere Divorce To Carey Lowell May Cost $100 Million As He Portrays Homeless Man In New Film

Richard Gere may have to shell out up to $100 million for his divorce. The big bucks break-up results from the Pretty Woman actor’s 11-year-marriage to Carey Lowell, reported the New York Daily News.

Lowell is best known for her role in Law & Order. Her attorney, Robert Cohen, emphasized that money is the key to settling the drawn-out divorce.

“We had a nice chat with the judge. We’re moving along. It’s all about money,” declared Cohen.

In contrast, Gere’s lawyer, David Aronson, had no comments.

Although actors are trained to show whatever emotions they wish their audience to see, Gere couldn’t refrain from a frown after meeting with the judge. In contrast, his ex-wife was smiling.

The soon-to-be-divorced duo have a 15-year-old son named Homer.

“I can’t say anything,” insisted Carey.

Ironically, the proceedings took place at a courthouse where the actress had been involved in filming Law & Order. To preserve her memories, she requested and received permission to photograph the famous rotunda’s ceiling mural before exiting graciously and gracefully through the often-filmed enormous outside staircase.

An Officer and A Gentleman star Gere, in contrast, dashed out the back entrance and leaped into a sleek black getaway car.

While the actor attempts to wrap up the divorce, he’s focused on his newest film, reported the Wall Street Journal.

In that movie, Gere portrays a homeless man, and he views it as part of his efforts to help Tibetan refugees.

“[They both are] displaced people…trying to find their place, trying to get back home.”

The film, Time Out of Mind, proved to be a revelation for Richard, who so convinced onlookers in New York City in his role as a homeless man that he was ignored.

“I was giving off the vibe of being homeless, and no one paid any attention to me,” recalled Gere.

Speaking at the Montclair Film Festival, he took pride in the movie, which will be released later in 2015.

However, despite his pride, he admits he was a failure in one area. Attempting to panhandle, Richard took in only $1.25 in 40 minutes.

Gere isn’t the only celebrity dealing with both negative news and positive publicity. As the Inquisitr reported, Bruce Jenner is facing a lawsuit from the deadly car accident in which he was involved.

The decision to sue Jenner for wrongful death comes in the wake of the highly positive feedback that Jenner received from his interview with Diane Sawyer, during which he described his transgender journey and explained why he had hidden his secret for so long.
