<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul Simon’s daughter, Lulu Simon, is furious that actor Richard Gere decided to sell her childhood home in New Canaan, Connecticut, to developers, which she says goes against a promise he made when he purchased the property.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lulu, 30, also a singer, is the daughter of the legendary Simon &amp; Garfunkel singer/songwriter and his wife, Edie Brickell. She discussed the situation on her Instagram stories earlier this week, per </span><a href="https://people.com/richard-gere-house-paul-simon-daughter-lulu-childhood-home-demolish-developer-11769150"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gere purchased the property in 2022 for $10.8 million and then sold it for $10.75 million in October 2024, when he moved to Spain. It’s now being torn down to make way for nine new homes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Just in case anyone was wondering if I still hate Richard Gere – I do!” Lulu wrote in the caption text. The post also included a news article about the house’s fate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, “He bought my childhood home. Promised he would take care of the land as [a] condition of his purchase. Proceeded to never actually move in &amp; just sold it to a developer as 9 separate plots :).”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hate! Him!” Lulu added in the caption.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A second Instagram Story showed a photo of Gere surrounded by images of cats and dogs. “I hope my dead pets buried in that backyard haunt you until you descend into a slow and unrelenting madness,” that post caption said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lulu also posted a meme of a frog that included the caption, “Time will put your enemies in the ground.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to </span><a href="https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/82-Brookwood-Ln_New-Canaan_CT_06840_M48774-74391"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Realtor.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the house was built in 1938 and sits on more than 31 acres. It has six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simon and Brickell reportedly purchased the home for $16.5 million in 2002, per </span><a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/real-estate/g27257129/paul-simon-connecticut-home/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Town &amp; Country</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In 2019, the couple attempted to sell the property for $13.9 million, but Gere acquired it in 2022 after multiple price adjustments. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The salvage company Hudson Valley House Parts has reportedly started preserving items from the home prior to its demolition. French doors, window casings, a bluestone pond edge, and other items are listed for sale on the </span><a href="https://www.hvhouseparts.com/shop/new-canaan/Q3DYGPPJJ46QKUZN4AYEHHJ7"><span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> under the project name “New Canaan.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, moved their family to Spain to be closer to her family. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,&#8221; the “Pretty Woman” actor told Vanity Fair Spain in April 2024. &#8220;She was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so it is only fair that I give her at least another six living in [Spain].&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I love Spain and the ability of the Spanish people to live transmitting joy and happiness,” Gere added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The couple has two young sons, Alexander, 6, and James, 5. Silva is also mom to an 11-year-old son from her previous marriage, while Gere has a 25-year-old son with his ex-wife, Carey Lowell.</span></p>
