On January 17, 2023, in a rare appearance together, Richard Gere, then 73, and his wife, Alejandra Silva, then 39, were seen on the red carpet in New York. The couple was there to attend the special screening of Richard's new comedy, "Maybe I do."
The actor looked more in love than ever as he gazed into his wife's eyes while posing for photos. His publicist wife, more than 30 years his junior, wore a red square-neck gown with a v-dip in the neckline and a folded pleats skirt.

Silva also wore open-toe platform heels, a diamond necklace, a matching bracelet, and drop earrings. She completed her look with a shiny black clutch while her husband was dressed in a black suit and a blue shirt.
Richard's wife left her blonde hair loose with minimal makeup. On Daily Mail's Facebook post showing two pictures of the couple posing together as Silva held her husband close as they embraced, fans shared their love for the pair.

In another rare occurrence, Richard spoke fondly about his gorgeous wife. The star gave a candid interview about his relationship after they got married and revealed what state he was in.
"I'm the Happiest Man in the Universe:" Richard Rarely Talks about His Lovely Wife
Richard and Silva met when he went to stay over at her family's hotel. The actor and the political activist began dating in 2014, and by 2018, when the star was 68 and his bride 35, the couple married at his ranch outside New York City, with Richard stating after the wedding:
"I'm the happiest man in the universe."

The star asked how he couldn't be happy being married to a beautiful woman who was sensitive, intelligent, and dedicated to helping others. He was in love with a woman who was patient, fun, knew how to forgive, and was a great cook who made the "best salads in the world!"
Richard's wife was also described as a great mother, a vegetarian who meditated was Spanish, and had a "touch of an angel." Silva also noted how she'd never imagined meeting a man who was perfect for her, adding:
"I have no words to describe my happiness."

Addressing their age gap, the Spanish publicist revealed how her husband had promised her at least 20 good years. She shared how he had more energy than her, was more active, and found it challenging to keep up with him.
Silva joked that Richard wasn't human! The activist confessed that she loved him madly and believed she brought him stability and noted how it helped to be uninterested in modeling or being an actress.

What brought the couple together was their wish to help others in need and their commitment to the Tibetan people and Buddhism. The actor, with Silva for nine years in 2023, saw his wife's commitment as a humanitarian, a woman, and a person.
Caring for the children was spontaneous for the star [Richard Gere], and it felt right.

Silva described their union as the most romantic dream and the sweetest one she'd ever had; that's why she chose to stay out. When Richard wasn't with his wife, there were other special people whose company he relished.
Richard Enjoys Spending Time with His Children
Richard said he loved his children in a 2002 interview before falling for his wife. He noted how his ability to notice women that were into him changed when he became a father, and their attention didn't affect him anymore.

The star said the former won when he weighed the real things against those that didn't matter as much. He also revealed that the cliches about parenthood were all true, and he never had any issues with children.
Richard shared how his former partner, Carey Lowell, had a child from a previous marriage, and it was natural for him to care for them. The former couple also welcomed their child, Homer James Jigme.
Caring for the children was spontaneous for the star, and it felt right. After Lowell and the actor settled their divorce, he married Silva, and in 2019, the couple welcomed their first child and son together, Alexander.
Richard generally keeps his children and life private. In April 2020, the couple's second child, a baby boy, was born, but not much was known about him as the star doesn't have a social media account, and when Silva shares images of the boys, their faces are concealed.
