Richard Gere is known for his acting skills, philanthropy, and activism. However, his journey to becoming a family man with a loving companion has been extensive and exciting.
Richard Gere celebrated his 73rd birthday today. His life is now completely devoted to his family. But what followed was his long and fascinating journey to become a family man with a devoted companion.
After breaking up with model Cindy Crawford in 1995, Gere met Carey Lowell. Before their marriage, Gere and Lowell had a seven-year relationship. Both have been married in the past, so they understand the willpower required to make a lifelong commitment.
Their children served as witnesses at their low-key wedding, which was kept secret for a while.
After 11 years of marriage, the couple decided to divorce. Their different lives were the reason for the breakup. Lowell wanted to interact with others and be famous, while Gere, a Buddhist, preferred a humble life of seclusion.
Their breakup was followed by a long and messy argument. Due to a custody dispute, they could not agree on how to divide Gere’s wealth. Lowell wanted 100 million of his $250 million because she believed she had sacrificed her career for him to look for their son Homer, and she also believed she was entitled to half of the entire amount.
In the end, their separation was finally settled after four years of complicated court proceedings.
Gere rekindled their romance after a long, draining breakup.
The Spaniard Alejandra Silva met him in Italy while managing a hotel in Positano. Silva is the daughter of Ignacio Silva, a businessman and former vice president of the Real Madrid soccer team.
A close friend of Silva’s family, Gere and the couple began dating in 2014. In 2018, the couple exchanged vows in a stunning Indian-influenced ceremony.
When asked about their 20-year age difference, Silva admitted that they were in love, adding that Gere had promised her 20 virtuous years of marriage.
Once the two formalized their relationship, Silva converted to Buddhism. The couple settled in New York and eventually became stepparents to their offspring.
The couple shocked their followers in February 2019 when they announced that they had welcomed their first child together. Later, in April 2020, the duo welcomed another baby boy. At the age of 70, Gere became a father of two children, and now the family lives on a farm in New York State.
The recently expanded family lives a private life, but they confirmed that the children are healthy and everyone in the family is enjoying themselves to the fullest. Formerly famous and rich, Gere has now dedicated his life to his family. He often appears with his wife Alejandra, his children, and their friends. The family lives a modest lifestyle and avoids publicity.
It’s been a long and exciting journey for Gere to become a family man with a loving partner. He experienced many highs and lows, yet he never gave up on his search for love. Now he is a happy family man, a proud father of two children, and a devoted husband. For those who think true love can happen at any age, his life is a real source of encouragement.
