Richard Gere's Wife Alejandra Honors Late Father-In-Law as She Shows Sons 'Basic Pleasures' of Farm Life

• Richard Gere lost his beloved father in 2023.
• His wife helped their family to go through the hard time by going "back to basics."

In early 2023, it was reported that Richard Gere and his family was in mourning after his father, Homer Gere, died. The long-time North Syracuse community volunteer passed away on March 1, 2023.

The actor's father was 100 years old. Ironically, in February 2023, Richard was hospitalized and his wife, Alejandra Silva Gere, shared on Instagram how she'd helped her husband bounce back after the ordeal.

Week's after Homer's passing in Downstate New York, the star's wife shared images of her, her husband, and their children enjoying the outdoors. Alejandra's posts included a photo which included one of their sons on a farm.

In another post, she was seen milking a cow before posing with a glass of milk while the animal ate some hay. The actor's wife wrote her caption in Spanish, vouching for taking a break and visiting the country, with her saying:

"In these times, especially if you live in the city, it is so difficult to be able to enjoy the basic pleasures that nature offers us — for me, the ones I value the most and those I want to instill in my family."

Richard's wife urged for going "Back to basics," and paid tribute to her late father-in-law, saying "This one goes out to our beloved Homer Gere." The actor's wife was also a stepmother to her husband's son, Homer Gere Jr., whom he shared with Carey Lowell, his ex-wife.

Fan's thought the time away was a good thing with one person noting how it was "great education the for children" to go to farms. Another person also believed it was a "very important and right" thing to do, while a third said:

"To [have] contact with nature is the best way."

Richard's own struggle with his health prompted him to take action when he realized he wasn't getting better. His ill-health occurred while he was on vacation with his family, but he appeared to be doing better now.

How Does Richard Feel after Hospitalization?

In the middle of February 2023, an update about Richard's health was given. It was revealed that the actor suffered with ill-health for weeks before he checked himself into a hospital while on a family vacation to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

The star developed a cough and when he got to a hospital he was diagnosed with with pneumonia. He only stayed overnight before being discharged after going to Mexico to celebrate his wife's 40th birthday.

Alejandra updated fans on her Instagram account, noting how her husband hadn't been the only one in their family who had been sick for three weeks. The post included a picture of her walking on the beach with their two boys, born in 2019 and 2020.

The Spanish publicist said everyone was luckily to be healing. Richard's wife, who said she was feeling better on the day she made the post, thanked her followers for their birthday wishes, and days later she gave another update.

This time, Alejandra uploaded a photo of her and her husband walking one of their sons, with the actor covered in a face mask. She noted how she'd woken up to see Richard in the news and the kind social media messages with people worrying.

The star's wife confirmed that her husband was recovering and felt better, with the worst having passed. The mother of three thanked her followers for their "sweet messages," and noted how her family appreciated them.

Richard became a father to his two youngest children later in life and faced a lot of backlash for welcoming them as an elderly man. Despite that, the star appeared to be managing in his new role.
