The quarantine period, which also meant staying at home, seemed more fruitful to Richard Gere and his family as they welcome their second baby. According to reports, Richard Gere's wife, 37-year-old Alejandra Silva, has already given birth at their ranch in Pound Ridge, New York.
The second child is also a baby boy, who came fourteen months after the couple's eldest, Alexander, was born.
Reports from Hola! confirm the birth of the second boy of the family. According to the magazine, it was the couple's choice to welcome their new baby in their ranch in Pound Ridge, and the happiness this has brought to the household is big. Especially to the eldest son, a new baby in the house looked like a piece of great news too.
The Gere and Silva love story
The Pretty Woman actor and the Spanish activist started dating in 2014. Although they were family friends before that, they were only able to kindle their love after meeting at a hotel in Italy in 2014. A common friend re-introduced them. Silva was managing the hotel where they met during that time. In his pursuit to date Silva, Gere had to send flowers every day until she agreed to date him.
The couple married in April 2018 in a secret civil ceremony; something that Gere said is the part of the quiet and happy life that he wants all along. Silva, on the other hand, thought of their union as something like a fairytale; because as she puts it, she feels like the luckiest woman in the world.
A month after their civil union, the couple held an intimate party with friends in their ranch in New York.
In the following year, February 2019, Alexander was born.
Despite the 33-year age gap, Silva is very vocal about not minding this. She said in an interview in 2018, "It had to be that way in this lifetime. He promised me at least 20 years!" But Silva confessed that even at his age, Gere has more energy than she does and is much more active.
The two, in their previous interviews, are fond of describing each other as their source of inspiration and joy.
The past relationships of the couple
Before ending up in the busiest couple of years for Gere and Silva (with the dating, wedding, and babies), the two have explored life separately with their previous partners.
Gere was married to Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995. From 2002 to 2013, he was next married to Carey Lowell. Later on, he had a relationship with Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi.
Meanwhile, Silva was married to businessman Govind Friedland in 2012. They ended things in the year 2015.
Their children from previous relationships
Aside from the two children that Gere and Silva have, both have kids from their past relationships.
Gere shares a child, named Homer, with Carey Lowell. Homer James Gere is now twenty years old.
As for Silva, she shares a seven-year-old son with her ex-husband, Friedland.
