The wife of 43-year-old Richard Gere posted photos of his 77th birthday: "We love you"

Richarda Gere, 77-year-old actor, celebrated his birthday with family in private, while his wife, Alejandra Silva Gere, shared emotional photos on Instagram expressing love and gratitude. The couple’s son, James, was present during the celebration, which took place on Monday, August 31, 2026. On Tuesday, August 1, Silva posted several photographs capturing moments of intimacy within their household. In one image, both Gere and Silva wear birthday caps and embrace, with their six-year-old son James running ahead. Another photo shows the entire family hugging, with Gere smiling directly into the camera. Accompanying the images, Silva wrote: “There is no one I would rather spend my life with. Happy birthday, I love you, we love you.” Gere responded to her message on his Instagram Story, sharing a jazz version of the song Happy Birthday and simply stating, “I love you.” The Gere family has long prioritized close-knit celebrations. They have two children together, James, who is six, and Alexander, seven. Gere, who previously married actress Carey Lowell, has a 26-year-old son named Homer. Silva, who was previously married to filmmaker Govind Friedland, has a 13-year-old son named Albert. While the recent birthday celebration included their children, it is unclear whether other guests were present. The photos emphasize the deep bond between the couple and their children, highlighting moments of warmth and connection. This year's celebration followed a similar pattern to last year, when Silva commemorated Gere’s birthday with photos taken at their home in Spain. According to the magazine HOLA!, they were surrounded by family and friends. In a previous heartfelt message, Silva described Gere as someone she could always rely on, emphasizing how he provides strength and love to their family. She wrote: “Our boys and I feel your love in every moment: in the way you’re there for us, in your patience, in the strength you give us, and in the heart you put into this family.” She called him “the best husband and the best father,” noting that despite his many responsibilities, he remains central to their lives. In addition to celebrating Gere’s birthday, their son Homer recently revealed one of the most important pieces of advice he received from his father. During a tennis match at the U.S. Open on August 25, Homer shared: “I think it’s key to remember to go home after work. This is often forgotten because the world can completely occupy your time.” He explained that Gere does not view acting as a lifestyle but as a job, adding, “Acting shouldn’t be a style of life. It’s a job, and after work, you go home. I think this is a very healthy attitude and one of the reasons behind his longevity and success.” The Gere family continues to balance personal and public life, maintaining a private yet emotionally open approach to family moments. Their recent birthday celebration reflects this dynamic, offering glimpses into their domestic life while keeping their personal space intact. As the family enjoys these intimate moments, they remain grounded in the values that have sustained them through years of shared experiences and challenges.
