Richard Gere recently shared insights into his personal life during an interview with Elle España, reflecting on his happiness with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their family. The Pretty Woman actor, who is married to the Spanish publicist and shares two sons with her—Alexander, 5, and James, 4, as well as Silva’s 11-year-old son, Albert—described this time in their lives as their “momentum.” Gere revealed that they are “happier than ever,” noting that Silva’s joy comes from being back in her home country of Spain, and his happiness stems from seeing her happy.
The couple’s strong connection is rooted in their shared passion for environmental work, which they’ve actively pursued together. They recently collaborated on the Sierra a Mar project in Mexico, among other initiatives, which earned them public recognition. Gere highlighted that working on such meaningful projects together has helped them maintain humility and avoid letting their egos get in the way. He believes this shared mission fosters true change in relationships.
Gere also expressed his admiration for Silva, praising her open-mindedness, gratitude, and compassionate nature. He described their bond as something beyond mere love, stating that whether it’s called spirit, religion, love, or compassion, their connection is “infinite.” Silva, in turn, echoed similar sentiments, describing the instant connection they felt when they met in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. She believes their union was the result of “karma from past lives,” and the two have been in sync ever since.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, also share a deep alignment in their goals and dreams. Silva explained that their shared values and life perceptions have made their relationship feel like a reunion of two soulmates. In a previous interview, Gere revealed that the couple’s decision to move to Spain was driven by his desire to make Silva feel closer to her family, friends, and culture, strengthening their bond even further.
