Renowned Hollywood actor Richard Gere, famous for roles in “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride,” confronts the challenges of being a father at 71. Married to Alejandra Silva, 34 years his junior, the couple welcomed two sons, Alexander (2019) and a second whose name remains private (2020). Gere, also a father to an older son, Homer, expresses anxiety about aging and the possibility of missing out on his younger children’s growth.

Despite the significant age gap with Silva, Gere remains dedicated to fatherhood. A source emphasizes Gere’s awareness of being “EXTREMELY old to be a father.” Gere, born in 1949, embraces his unexpected journey in Hollywood with notable films like “Chicago.” His marriage to Spanish activist Alejandra Silva, started in 2018, resulted in the birth of their children. The couple dismisses concerns about the age difference, highlighting their strong connection.

Gere credits his parents for his parenting style and finds solace in Buddhism, seeking guidance from the Dalai Lama. Embracing the belief in reincarnation, Gere expresses, “That gave him some peace.” Despite concerns about late fatherhood, Gere remains committed to cherishing moments with his growing family.
