Richard Gere’s journey through fatherhood has spanned several decades, beginning in his 50s and continuing into his 70s. His first son, Homer James Jigme Gere, was born in 2000 when he was 50, marking the start of his biological fatherhood. Prior to this, he became a stepfather to Carey Lowell’s daughter, Hannah, from her previous marriage, embracing the role with ease and reflecting positively on the experience.
Gere’s relationship with Homer, who he calls “the joy of my life,” has always been a source of pride. Homer has grown up mostly out of the public eye, attending school and later pursuing higher education at Brown University. Despite his privacy, Gere has emphasized the importance of balancing his career with family, often turning down projects that would take him away for too long.
In 2018, Gere married Alejandra Silva, and the couple welcomed their first son together, Alexander, in 2019. At 69, Gere experienced the joy of fatherhood once again. The couple later had a second son, continuing Gere’s commitment to family life, which remains a cornerstone of his personal values. Throughout, Gere has maintained a strong focus on privacy and family, highlighting his deep love and dedication to his children.
