Richard Gere attended the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival with his wife Alejandra Silva and his eldest son, Homer. The trio looked stunning on the red carpet for the premiere of Gere’s new film, Oh, Canada, with Gere and Homer in matching black tuxedos and Silva in a black floor-length gown. The film, directed by Paul Schrader and based on Russell Banks’ novel Foregone, follows a dying writer who has fled to Canada to avoid the draft for the Vietnam War. Gere shares Homer with his second ex-wife Carey Lowell and two younger sons, Alexander and a second child born in 2020, with Silva whom he married in a secret ceremony in 2018 after three years of dating.
Gere spoke about his newfound happiness with Silva in an interview with HOLA! Magazine following their wedding, expressing that he had finally found the quiet and happy life he had always sought. Prioritizing his family over work has always been important to Gere, mentioning in a 2015 interview that he is careful not to be away from his son Homer for too long. He stated, “Your family is more important than anything,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Homer Gere, now 24 years old, prefers to stay out of the spotlight. In an interview with Vanity Fair Spain in April 2024, Richard Gere mentioned that his son does not fully understand his level of fame and finds it difficult to see his father on screen. Despite this, Homer has recently developed an interest in acting, writing, and directing small movies. Gere shared that they now have this new interest in common and enjoy working together on creative projects.
Gere and Silva’s relationship has been a source of happiness for both of them, with Silva expressing that meeting Gere gave meaning to her life. Gere also revealed that Silva has been a guiding light for him, leading him towards his true path. Their deep connection and shared happiness are evident in their public appearances and the way they prioritize their family life. Gere has always made it clear that his family comes first, even if it means turning down work opportunities in order to spend more time with his loved ones.
The couple’s marriage in 2018 marked a new beginning for both of them, with Gere finding solace and happiness in Silva’s companionship. Their love story has unfolded in the public eye, showing a strong bond and mutual respect between them. Gere’s dedication to his family and his commitment to being present for his children are central themes in his life, as he navigates his career and personal life with a sense of balance and fulfillment. The Gere-Silva family continues to thrive together, creating a loving and supportive environment for their children.
