Richard Gere Made an Unexpected Move for His Wife on the Red Carpet, Shocking People

Richard Gere, 75, and his wife Alejandra Silva, 41, dazzled at the Cannes Film Festival. Richard decided to publicly show his affection for his wife with a gallant gesture that shocked both Alejandra and the surrounding audience.

Richard Gere showed his deep love for his wife Alejandra Silva at the 2024 Venice Film Festival’s Wolfs premiere. The Pretty Woman actor knelt on one knee, extending his right arm towards Silva, who warmly smiled and graciously accepted his heartfelt gesture from a distance.

The heartfelt display didn’t go unnoticed, as even the red carpet staff and security officials took out their phones to capture the touching moment. Alejandra Silva dazzled in a flowing white evening gown featuring an asymmetrical slit, perfectly complemented by metallic strappy heels. She wore her hair down, adding a touch of effortless elegance.

Richard Gere met Alejandra Silva when she was young, as the actor had borrowed a boat from her father for a film. However, several years had to pass before they could feel an attraction to each other and start a romantic relationship.

The 2 began dating in 2014, but it was in 2018 that they decided to get married in a discreet wedding. The actor found in his wife a partner who values humanitarian work, as Silva works in a foundation that fights to eradicate homelessness in Spain.

He has also said that: “I am the happiest man in the universe — how could I not be? I’m married to a beautiful woman who is smart, sensitive, committed to helping people, who’s fun, patient, who knows how to forgive, who’s a great cook — and who makes the best salads in the world!”

Richard Gere’s son recently made headlines as well. His red carpet appearance sparked a strong reaction, with many claiming he is more handsome than his father.
