Sources have confirmed that actor Richard Gere, 70, is expecting his second child with his wife Alejandra Gere (neé Silva).

The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Alexander, this past February. The couple lead very private lives. Richard isn’t active on social media, but Alejandra, 36, does have an Instagram account. She shares infrequently but did post one photo during her pregnancy with Alexander, a mirror shot of her growing baby bump.

The actor and the Spanish publist each have children from previous marriages. Richard is a father to Homer, 19, whom he shares with second wife Carey Lowell. Alejandra has a 6-year-old son, Albert, with ex-husband Govind Friedland.

The couple began dating in 2014, brought together by their passion for humanitarian work. They were wed in 2018, first in a private civil ceremony early in the year, and again surrounded by family and friends that May.
In an interview with The Times U.K. in February, Gere said that when he met his future bride in Italy, the connection was “instant from my side. I instantly became happy just looking at her. It was one of those powerful things.”
