Let’s talk about Alejandra Silva, the incredible woman who has completely transformed the life of Hollywood legend Richard Gere. Now, I know what you’re thinking—there’s a 33-year age gap between them. But hey, love doesn’t come with a calculator, right? And for this couple, it’s all about connection, family, and building a life together. They’ve created something truly special, and it’s worth diving into their story.

How It All Began: A Hollywood Romance

Back in 2014, Alejandra Silva, a publicist, caught the eye of Richard Gere, the star of films like Pretty Woman and Primal Fear. But let me tell you, Richard didn’t waste any time. The guy went all out, sending her flowers until she finally agreed to go on a date with him. Talk about persistence! And boy, was it worth it. Fast forward a few years, and Alejandra is glowing about her relationship with Richard. In an interview with Hola! in April 2020, she opened up about just how amazing he is. "He is the most humble, sensitive, affectionate, attentive, funny, and generous man that I’ve ever met," she gushed. And get this: every single morning, Richard asks her what would make her happy that day. Can we all take a moment to appreciate that level of thoughtfulness? Alejandra went on to say, "What can I say? I’m so in love! Not a day goes by that he doesn’t remind me of how important I am to him. I feel incredibly lucky."

Wedding Bells and Baby News

In 2018, Alejandra and Richard tied the knot, officially becoming Mr. and Mrs. Gere. But the love story didn’t stop there. Just a few months later, in September of that same year, Alejandra revealed she was pregnant with their first child together. And here’s where things get extra special. She shared a photo on social media of her husband and the Dalai Lama placing their hands on her baby bump. The caption? "A very special moment just a few minutes ago … getting blessings for our precious one to come." Alejandra explained that they had waited to announce the pregnancy until they could share the news with the Dalai Lama first. Talk about a meaningful moment!

Welcoming Alexander and Doubling the Joy

In February 2019, Alejandra and Richard welcomed their son, Alexander, into the world. For Alejandra, having Richard in her life brought a sense of purpose and fulfillment. "I was a little lost … without light, and knowing him gave meaning to my life," she shared with Hola!. "It was like someone was reaching out and showing me my true path." But the happiness didn’t end with Alexander. In April 2020, the couple welcomed their second child, another baby boy, at their home in New York state. While they haven’t revealed his name yet, it’s clear that their family is growing stronger and more beautiful with each passing day.

Richard’s Past Relationships: Learning and Growing

Before Alejandra came into Richard’s life, he had been married twice. First, there was Cindy Crawford, the supermodel who captivated the world. They were married from 1991 to 1995. Cindy later explained in a 2016 interview with the Huffington Post that their age difference might have played a role in their split. "I didn’t think I was young, though, but I was young," she said about their wedding day. "I think part of the problem in our relationship was that we were a lot of other things but I don’t know if we were ever friends—like peers, because I was young, and he was Richard Gere." After Cindy, Richard married actress Carey Lowell in 2002, and they welcomed their son, Homer Gere, during that time. That marriage ended in 2016, but clearly, Richard learned from those experiences and found his true partner in Alejandra.

When it comes to the age gap with Alejandra, Richard doesn’t seem to care one bit. In fact, Alejandra told Hello! in April 2018, "Without a doubt, I feel like the luckiest woman in the world." And who could blame her? They’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and family.
