Richard Tiffany Gere is an American actor. He began his acting career in the 1970s by playing a supporting role in ‘Looking for Mr. Goodbar’ and starring in Days of Heaven.
His prominent movies include Pretty Woman, Hachiko, Unfaithful, Runaway Bride, Shall We Dance, Autumn in New York, and American Gigolo.
In 1991 Richard married a supermodel named Cindy Crawford. However, their marriage didn’t last long and ended with divorce in 1995.
After parting ways with his first wife, Gere started dating American actress Carey Lowell. The two shared an amazing bond and looked great together. Gere welcomed his first child, Homer, with Lowell in February 2000.
The two actors eventually got married in 2002. Their marriage lasted almost eleven years; in 2013, the couple split up. Their legal separation was finalized in October 2016.
In 2014, almost three years after parting ways with his second wife, Lowell, Gere found love again. This time he got along with a Spanish publicist and political activist, Alejandra Silva.
According to People, the couple tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in April 2018 after four years of dating each other.
“It’s amor! Richard Gere and his Spanish girlfriend Alejandra Silva have tied the knot”, wrote PEOPLE.
A source revealed to the outlet that the pair looked very comfortable together and enjoyed the ceremony with their friends and family.
“They’re so comfortable with each other, have fun together, and are looking forward to their future together.”
The activist opened up about her relationship with Gere in an interview with hola.
“I was a little lost, without light, and knowing him gave meaning to my life. It was feeling that someone was reaching out and showing me my true path.” She said.
“Our karma was attracted the moment we saw each other. I’m not ignoring our age difference and what it means to be with a Hollywood star, but when there’s such strong karmic energy, the problems disappear.”
The Spanish publicist runs a non-profit organization, Rais Fundacion, which aims to wipe out homelessness in Spain in five years.
Speaking of her early life struggles with HOLA magazine, Silva said,
“I’ve slept on the street to understand the struggle of the homeless. I’m not scared of rolling up my sleeves and diving into work. If I do something, I put 100% effort in. If I can’t I’d rather not do it.”
Like Richard, Silva also has a son from her previous marriage. She was married to Govin Friedland, the son of an American billionaire, Martin Friedland. Their marriage lasted for four years, and she eventually got divorced in 2014.
In 2015, she started dating Gere; the two had been in a long-distance relationship for some time. Speaking of her relationship with Gere, Alejandra told HOLA,
“It’s hard to coordinate, but we don’t go more than 20 days without seeing each other.”
She eventually moved to New York to live with Gere, and since then, the two have been together. She is quite vocal about her relationship with the Pretty Woman actor and often shares intimate photos with him on her Instagram.
“So grateful to have you in my life, extraordinary and special human being, you have [shaken] my life, making me see what is really important. Undeniable! love you with all my heart,” she wrote in one of her Insta captions.
The couple has two children together and is very happy in their marriage.
