Richard Gere, 73, was hospitalized after celebrating his wife Alejandra Silva’s 40th birthday with their two children.
Alejandra shared an update on her husband’s health. He previously promised her at least 20 years of being together.
Richard seems to have been fated to meet his wife.
The “Pretty Woman” star, Richard Gere, became a father at 70. The 73-year-old actor and his 40-year-old wife, Alejandra Silva, had their second child together in 2020. Their oldest, Alexander Gere, was born in 2019, and his baby sibling followed soon after. Richard and Alejandra also have children from previous marriages.
Richard was previously married to Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995, and he tied the knot with Carey Lowell in 2000. Carey and Richard had a son together named Homer Gere. Alejandra was previously married to Govind Friedland, and the couple welcomed their son, Albert Friedland, in 2012.
Although Richard became a father again late in life, Alejandra has revealed the actor is still in excellent physical condition. She opened up about her husband, saying he has more energy than her at times. She also mentioned that Richard had promised her more than a decade of time together. She remarked:
“[Richard] has promised me at least 20 good years! But I have to confess that he has much more energy than me, is much more active. It’s hard to keep up with him … He’s not human!”
Although Richard is as fit as a fiddle, Alejandra revealed that her husband contracted a case of pneumonia while the family was vacationing in Mexico. She mentioned in an Instagram post that the family has been feeling ill since before her 40th birthday. Unfortunately, Richard had to be hospitalized.
