You might probably know that Richard Gere has had 3 marriages. He tied the knot with his third wife, Alejandra Silva, in 2018. Gere and his Spanish wife have an age gap of over 30 years! However, it’s not a factor that acts as an obstacle in their marriage. The couple has always been extraordinarily happy and supportive of each other. Now, let’s take a sneak peek at the great actor and the life he shares with his Spanish wife!
How Did They Meet?
Gere and Silva were family friends, but when they reconnected after some years, the sparks flew. The actor and Silva were instantly attracted to each other. Let’s see what Silva says regarding their meeting after a long time…
“Our karma was attracted the moment we saw each other,” states Silva. She adds, “I’m not ignoring our age difference and what it means to be with a Hollywood star, but when there’s such a strong karmic energy, the problems disappear.”
Their Long-Distance Relationship
The duo were involved in a long distance relationship, where they did not have a gap of more than 20 days between seeing each other. In other words, they were not troubled by the distance between them because they were so much in love with each other!
Unconditional Love and Common Interests
Although both Gere and Silva have children from their previous marriages, they now lead a happy life together. In February 2019, the couple had their first child, Alexander, together. In April 2020, they welcomed their second boy.
Apart from family, Gere and Silva share some similar passions. For instance, both are involved in activism. Gere’s empathetic and humanitarian nature was one of the things that attracted Silva to him. The duo has also walked red carpets together, and one of those notable events was the Cannes Film Festival that happened in May 2024.
Let’s wish both Gere and Silva more years of love, happiness, and parenting together!
