The duo, who met in 1986 during a fashion show, exchanged rings in 2014, after 27 years of dating. Buckley closely followed the rise of Ford's career, from his promotion to the head of Gucci to the establishment of his own name brand.
Ford has described his first meeting with Buckley in interviews, saying, "a silver-haired guy was staring at me with piercing blue eyes." They started dating and four weeks after they met, Richard gave him the keys to his apartment. They've lived together ever since.&nbsp;
Buckley was an acclaimed journalist and held stints in New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, Women's Wear Daily, and Mirabella.
Buckley leaves behind the couple's 8-year-old son, Alexander "Jack" John Buckley Ford.
