The love story of the Gere couple

Alejandra Silva – her maiden name – is the daughter of Ignacio Silva, former vice-president of Real Madrid. For years, the activist has been involved with disadvantaged children. It was in this context that she met Richard Gere, in 2015, during a charity operation in Spain. It was love at first sight, which led to a wedding in 2018.

Since saying “yes”, the couple have welcomed two little boys, Alexander in 2019, and James in 2020. Very discreet about her private life, Alejandra Gere shares rare photos of the blended family with her 119,000 subscribers on Instagram. The actor, who was married to Cindy Crawford (1991 to 1995), then to Carey Lowell (2002 to 2013), was already the father of a child from this second union. Homer James Jigme Gere was born in 2000, and will celebrate his 25th birthday next February. Alejandra Gere also had her first son, Albert, aged 14. He is from her marriage to Govind Friedland, which ended in 2014.
