The couple had their first child together, and for each parent, it became their second: Gere has an 18-year-old son, Homer, and Silva is raising a five-year-old son.
Richard and Alejandra protect their privacy from social media, so fans of the couple were unable to follow Alejandra’s pregnancy.
Paparazzi came to the aid of any curious onlookers, who sometimes managed to photograph the couple.
Rumors that the actor would soon become a father again surfaced a few months after their wedding.
The couple confirmed the rumors and officially announced that they were preparing to start a family.
Alejandra posted a joint photo on social media with her husband and the Dalai Lama XIV, and announced that she was expecting a child.
Richard’s marriage to Alejandra was his third: in the early 1990s, he married supermodel Cindy Crawford, and in 2002, he married actress and former model Carey Lowell.
Alejandra Silva also had a family experience before meeting Gere.
According to inside sources, his romance with the Hollywood star began in 2014, but the public discovered it a few years later.
In late 2017, Richard asked Alejandra to become his wife and gave her a ring as a gift.
