RICHARD GERE AND ALEJANDRA SILVA – 6 YEARS

Despite over 30 years of an age gap, Richard Gere revealed that his wife of two years, Alejandra Silva, made him the “happiest man in the universe.” The two met when the 37-year-old publicist was only a little girl. He is their family friend. In 2014, they once again met at a hotel that Silva managed – the Treville hotel in Positano, Italy. While many assume that they won’t last long because of the age difference, it even made them stronger.

A friend re-introduced the two, and they instantly felt a powerful connection, like electricity flowed in the air. To try to convince her to date him, Gere often sent her flowers until she agreed. From here, everything changed. He even regularly wrote songs for her. In 2018, they officially tied the knot at Gere’s New York ranch. That moment for them, creating their own family, was the best investment they made together.
