Richard Gere’s journey through fatherhood has been a rollercoaster of emotions and life-changing experiences. When his baby boy was born last February, he and his wife Alejandra Silva were over the moon. This little bundle of joy marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, a testament to their love and devotion to each other.
While Richard had previous experience as a father, having a child with Alejandra was a special moment. He already had a 20-year-old son named Homer Jigme from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell, an actress and model. Fascinatingly, Homer bears a striking resemblance to his father, almost like a younger version of Richard Gere himself. No wonder people couldn’t stop marveling at their unreal likeness.
At a barbecue, Richard first met Cindy Crawford, an actress and model. They began to correspond and went on several dates.
The paparazzi couldn’t leave them alone because they were one of the hottest couples around.
Gere wasn’t sure he wanted to marry Crawford, even though they were the center of attention at every event, appearing on red carpets and gracing magazine covers.
Later, in 1991, the couple married in Las Vegas. The wedding was not grand and there were not many guests present.
Four years after they married, Crawford claimed he couldn’t keep up because there was a big age difference. At 17, Richard was her elder.
Richard met actress and model Carey Lowell seven years after his divorced marriage.
In February 2000, Homer Gere, their first and only child, was born to them.
It surprised many because he was reluctant to have children with Crawford and things seemed to have changed with Lowell.
The baby boy, who was born to Alejandra Silva and Richard last year, was Homer’s half-brother.
Before that, he had a second half-sister from his mother’s first relationship with actor, producer, and director Thomas Griffin Dunn.
Since his parents were famous people, Homer Gere was also in the limelight. In 2003, his mother and father divorced.
When his parents fought over his custody, Homer Gere found himself back in the public eye. Lowell believed she should be entitled to half of Gere’s income because she gave up her profession to care for him and their child.
Unlike his father, Homer prefers to keep things low-key and isn’t too good with the whole celebrity thing. Still, the two bear a striking resemblance, and Richard seems to have passed on his infectious charisma and good looks to him.
Despite growing up in the world of celebrity, Homer Gere has always preferred to keep a low profile. Eschewing the glitzy escapades that often accompany his father’s fame, he chose instead to lead a more private life. However, the undeniable truth remains that Homer and his father are incredibly similar, not only in appearance but also in innate charm and charisma.
When Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva welcomed a baby boy last year, Homer became a big brother. This addition to the family marked a new era of love and unity, bringing together two families from different backgrounds. While Homer may prefer life out of the limelight, it seems that his father’s legacy of charm and good looks has been passed down to him, ensuring that the Gere family’s legacy will continue to capture hearts for generations to come.
