Richard Gere celebrated his 77th birthday with his wife Alejandra Silva, 43, and their six-year-old son. Silva shared her joy for the occasion on Instagram, expressing her love with a heartfelt post featuring images of the family.
One photo showed Gere and Silva hugging, joined by their son, James Gere. Another picture captured Silva seated on a bench with their family pets.
Background on Gere and Silva
Gere and Silva’s romantic journey began in 2014 after reconnecting through family acquaintances. They wed in 2018 and have two sons, Alexander and James. In 2024, they relocated their family to Spain to be near Silva’s roots.
Silva elaborated on the move in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2025, explaining the family’s ongoing connection between Spain and the U.S. They plan to spend a few years in Spain while maintaining ties to the U.S., particularly during summer camps for their children.
Life in Spain and U.S. Connection
Though settled in Spain, Silva expressed her longing for the U.S. as their family adjusts to life in Spain. The couple moved from New York City, where they spent many years.
Gere spoke about the move in 2024 to Vanity Fair Spain, describing it as an adventure. He looked forward to experiencing life outside the U.S., considering it enriching for his children. He appreciated the opportunity to immerse himself in Silva’s culture and praised Spain’s way of life.
Despite the change, Gere maintained a fondness for New York, reflecting on its impact on his life. However, he found value in living in another culture for his family’s growth.
