Crawford, 49, said they are at good terms with each other but do not meet, reported People magazine.
"I didn't think I was young, though, but I was young. I was with Richard for, like, six years, but I was only married for two years.
"We're friendly, but I think it's almost like he's gone back to being, like, 'Richard Gere' again, like a stranger, because we don't really see each other that much," she said.
Crawford was 26 when she tied the knot with the then 42-year-old Gere in 1991. The couple officially parted ways four years later, in 1995.
"And then, as I started kind of growing up and growing into myself - it's hard to change the nature of a relationship once you're already in it," she said.
