The story of Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva is much more than a romantic union between two people from different worlds. He is a cinema legend; she is a Galician businesswoman with a strong social commitment. Since they met more than a decade ago on the Italian coast, they have built a relationship that grows over time, fueled by shared values and causes.
Settled in Spain, they have found a home where they can nurture their family and also their social commitment. Far from the Hollywood spotlight, the actor and his wife lead a discreet life, focused on their children. Their relationship also goes beyond romantic love: it is also an active alliance for a fairer world.
A bond that goes beyond time
The spark between Richard and Alejandra happened in Positano, by the Tyrrhenian Sea. She, then in charge of a luxury hotel, met a special guest who would change her life. From that first encounter, both felt there was something more than attraction.
Alejandra has even described that moment as the beginning of something destined: "We know each other from other lives." Over the years, their connection has matured and both assure that today they are more in love than ever. The couple have shared that they support each other and that their love is built on complicity, admiration, and a shared vision of the world.
A vision that is not limited to the personal, but has an impact on others. In their public statements, there is no ostentation, but intention. They use their notoriety not to show off, but to make invisible realities visible.
Love, family, and other causes that unite Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva
With a large and diverse family, Gere and Silva share the upbringing of five children from previous relationships and from their marriage. They have achieved a harmonious and warm coexistence, marked by respect and closeness. Although reserved, they have occasionally shared how they manage their day-to-day life.
One of the strongest bonds that unites the couple is their involvement in humanitarian projects. Alejandra was already working actively in the social sphere before meeting the actor.
Since then, they have strengthened that vocation together, leading campaigns in defense of human rights and against homelessness. Their commitment is not aesthetic: it is real, constant, and consistent with their way of living.
The love story between them has been strengthened thanks to that shared commitment. Richard Gere has not only accompanied Alejandra in her causes, but he has also contributed his experience as an international activist. The experience he had when playing a homeless man for his film Invisibles left a deep mark on him.
An announcement that confirms their deepest commitment: "Today we take an important step"
This Monday, Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva surprised their followers with a statement that confirms what many suspected. Through words published on their official channels, they announced the launch of the new website of the Gere Foundation. This project symbolizes their joint work and reflects the values that define them.
"Today we take an important step", the statement begins. With it, they open a window to the activism they share, focused on human rights, social justice, and the planet's sustainability. "We are proud to present this new stage," they state.
This gesture not only consolidates their humanitarian work, but also reaffirms that their story is, above all, a life alliance. The announcement, intimate and hopeful, has been received as a public confirmation that their union continues to grow stronger. One more step toward a shared future, inside and outside the heart.
