It hasn’t been a long time since Richard Gere, 72, became a dad again.
In February 2019, Richard and his wife, 39-year-old Alejandra Silva, welcomed a little boy into the world. And in April 2020, the birth of their second son was reported.
While the babies represent the first kids Gere and Silva have had together, both have children from previous relationships.
In Gere’s case, that means his 22-year-old son, Homer James Jigme, who he co-parents with ex-wife Care Lowell.
Admit it … you’re curious to see how this 22-year-old looks today. Well, fortunately, we have the answer – and you won’t be disappointed.
Richard Gere cemented his role as a Hollywood heartthrob following his part in American Gigolo and iconic movies such as Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman.
Shortly thereafter Richard met his first wife, model and actress Cindy Crawford. According to media reports, the couple met at a BBQ.
“We talked, then we had a date, then we had another date,” Crawford said.
Soon the couple was one of Hollywood’s hottest and wherever they went, they were followed by the paparazzi.
Gere and Crawford appeared on red carpets and front covers and went to dinner at the best restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. Gere, however, doubted whether he would marry his younger lover.
But in December 1991, the couple decided to take the jet and get married in Las Vegas. It was far from an extravagant wedding – only a few guests were invited to the chapel.
“It was the wedding I dreamed of. It was so last minute,” Crawford once said about the nuptials.
Four years later the couple divorced. Cindy Crawford has always maintained that the age difference was too great.
She was 22 and Richard was 39 when they met.
“I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, ‘Okay, I’ll follow,’ but then you start going, ‘Well, I don’t want to just follow — I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes,’” she admitted.
Then, seven years after his failed marriage, Gere met model and actress Carey Lowell.
