Richard Gere's Wives! Meet Alejandra Silva, Carey and Cindy Crawford

What can we say? Richard Gere is one handsome guy. Not only has he dated some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood like Diana Ross and Padma Lakshmi, but he’s also been married three times. The actor was wed to model Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995, actress Carey Lowell from 2002 to 2016 and is currently married to Alejandra Silva, whom he tied the knot with in 2018.

During his marriage to Carey, Richard fathered one child, a son named Homer Gere. He didn’t have any more children until he met Alejandra and welcomed son Alexander Gere in 2019 and his second child with the Spanish publicist in April 2020.

Despite the pair’s 33-year age gap, Alejandra says she’s madly in love with her husband and that will never change. “So grateful to have you in my life, extraordinary and special human being. You have [shaken] my life, making me see what is really important. Undeniable! Love you with all my heart,” the blonde beauty once gushed via Instagram.

Alejandra also loves the fact that Richard is a “humanitarian.” When Alejandra told Hola! in 2015 that she once “slept on the street to understand the struggle of the homeless,” she revealed activism is a passion she shares with her hubby. “What I love most about him is his humanitarian side,” Alejandra said. “He’s a very empathetic person.” We don’t doubt that one bit!

Richard and his wife make a great couple and Alejandra takes after her partner’s can-do spirit. “I’m not scared of rolling up my sleeves and diving into work,” she explained. “If I do something, I put 100 percent effort in. If I can’t, I’d rather not do it.”

What excited Alejandra about the Pretty Woman star was that they got along great. “Our karma was attracted the moment we saw each other,” she said. “I’m not ignoring our age difference and what it means to be with a Hollywood star, but when there’s such a strong karmic energy, the problems disappear.”

Cindy Crawford (1991 to 1995)

Richard and Cindy got divorced in 1995 after getting married in December 1991. She credits their separation to her being very “young” at the time.

“I didn’t think I was young, though, but I was young,” she told The Huffington Post about tying the knot to the actor at age 26 when he was 42. “I was with Richard for like six years, but I was only married for two years.”

Cindy also revealed they’re not as close as they used to be. “We’re friendly, but I think it’s almost like he’s gone back to being, like, ‘Richard Gere’ again, like a stranger because we don’t really see each other that much,” she said. “I think part of the problem in our relationship was that we were a lot of other things but I don’t know if we were ever friends — like peers, because I was young, and he was Richard Gere. And then, as I started kind of growing up and growing into myself — it’s hard to change the nature of a relationship once you’re already in it.”

Carey Lowell (2002 to 2016)

Richard seemed to have met his match when he fell in love with Carey. Out of all of his wives, the Bull star was the closest in age. She was 12 years his junior. However, things turned ugly once Carey filed for divorce in 2013 after tying the knot in November 2002.

While trying to reach a settlement, the duo quickly agreed on joint custody of their son, Homer Gere. But their court battle was drawn out for three more years because Carey fought hard for her former lover’s $45 million fortune. In October 2016, they finally came to an agreement. However, the terms of the settlement were not made public.

Alejandra Silva (2018 to Now)

Richard and Alejandra are so in love! Shortly after they got married in April 2018, the actor told Hola! he felt like he won the lottery.

“I’m the happiest man in the universe. How could I not be?” he gushed. “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!” Now that’s what we call a match made in heaven.

Richard and Alejandra have two kids together.
