Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva have much to celebrate.Richard Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, have welcomed their first child (baby boy) together.
It’s the couple’s first child together since secretly marrying in early 2018. Gere, 69, has an 18-year-old son, Homer, from his previous marriage to Casey Lowell. Silva, 35, also has a son named Albert from her previous marriage to Govind Friedland, reports E! News.
The Pretty Woman star and the 35-year-old publicist secretly tied the knot in April 2018 after more than three years of dating. Reports surfaced that Silva was pregnant in August 2018. A month later, she confirmed her pregnancy via Instagram.
“A very special moment just a few minutes ago … Getting blessings for our precious to come,” she wrote alongside a photo of Gere, who is a Buddhist, and the Dalai Lama placing their hands on her baby bump in the Netherlands on September 16. “We couldn’t announce it before telling HH Dalai Lama.”
Shortly after Gere and Silva wed, the twosome opened up to HOLA! magazine about their relationship.
“I have found the quiet and happy life that I have always sought,” the Runaway Bride actor said.
Silva added that Gere brought new meaning to her life. “I was a little lost, without light, and knowing him gave meaning to my life,” she told the mag. “It was feeling that someone was reaching out and showing me my true path.”
