The Love Story of Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva: A Journey of Joy and Family

Age is just a number. Despite being over thirty years older than his wife Alejandra Silva, Richard Gere and Alejandra are focused on making the most of each day with their family.

Alejandra shared with Hola! Magazine in April 2018 that meeting Richard brought light and purpose into her life. She expressed how he helped her find her true path and described feeling like someone was guiding her towards it. It was a destined connection in this lifetime.

She continued, "Richard has promised me at least 20 good years! But I have to admit, he has way more energy and is much more active than me. It's tough to keep up with him... He's like a machine!"

Gere, on the other hand, mentioned that ever since meeting Silva, "I have finally found the peaceful and joyful life that I have always been looking for."

In that same month, the couple got married in a private ceremony. Silva later shared on Instagram that it was a significant moment for them, not only because they were able to celebrate their love with loved ones, but also because they expressed their hopes for the future. They aim to turn life's challenges into opportunities for love, compassion, joy, and balance.

After almost a year of marriage, Silva confirmed on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together. She shared a photo of Gere and the Dalai Lama blessing her baby bump, expressing gratitude for their precious child on the way. They had kept the news private until sharing it with the Dalai Lama first.

In February 2019, Silva gave birth to a son named Alexander. Over a year later, she and her partner welcomed a second son. Silva has a son named Albert from her previous marriage with Govind Friedland.

Before being with Silva, Gere was married to Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995. The supermodel attributed their split to their 17-year age gap. Gere then had a son named Homer with model Carey Lowell in 2000, and they got married two years later. However, they separated in September 2013 and finalized their divorce three years after.
