Richard Gere showers love on wife Alejandra Silva with sweet gesture at Venice Film Festival red carpet
VENICE, ITALY: Richard Gere wanted everyone to know how much he loves wife Alejandra Silva when he attended the amfAR Gala Venezia 2024 with his son Homer and his stunning wife on Sunday, September 1.
Gere, 75, bowed down in respect for Silva, 41, during the 'Wolfs' red carpet premiere at Hangar Nicelli for the 2024 Venice Film Festival, as reported by Us Weekly.
The 'Pretty Woman' star smiled and bowed down to greet Silva, who gracefully accepted her husband's extravagant gesture. He then extended his right arm towards her.
In a stunning display of affection, Gere even lowered his head, prompting security guards and red carpet personnel to take out their phones and record the passionate exchange.
Richard Gere walks the red carpet in style with son Homer and wife Alejandra Silva
Known for his eternal sense of style, Richard Gere resembled a Hollywood icon donning a fitted black tuxedo, a clean white shirt, and an expertly knotted black bow tie.
Homer, his 24-year-old son, wore an almost identical outfit to his father's polished appearance, highlighting their remarkable similarity. The father-son team's wardrobe selections demonstrated their unwavering friendship and common good taste.
However, Silva stole the show on the red carpet, looking stunning in a semi-sheer mesh gown with elaborate navy flower embroidery. Her form was exquisitely displayed by the airy dress, which went perfectly with the elegant vibe of the event.
Silva, who has been married to Gere since 2018, made her husband and stepson one of the most photographed families of the evening by posing with such poise and confidence.
The pair changed their outfit for the 'Wolfs' red carpet premiere on Sunday as well. Silva stepped into an asymmetrical slit-adorned, flowing white evening gown and silver strappy shoes. She styled her hair down for both stylish looks.
Gere and Silva, who have been outspoken about their intense love, appeared more radiant than ever as they smiled and gave each other passionate looks all night long.
The 81st Venice International Film Festival, which takes place on the Lido di Venezia from August 28, 2024, to September 7, 2024, is organized by La Biennale di Venezia.
The Red Sea International Film Festival featured the amfAR Gala, which attracted an audience of the elite of the film industry and is known for its commitment to raising funds for AIDS research.
Gere received the Award of Inspiration from amfAR at the gala. "Few in the entertainment industry have done as much as Richard Gere to advance the fight against AIDS," amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost said in a press statement, per People.
Richard Gere and wife Alejandra Silva maintain a private life
Having had a successful career spanning more than 50 years, Gere is still a regular visitor at these high-profile events, frequently joined by Silva, who is also no stranger to the limelight.
Beginning in 2016, the couple's love narrative has been among the most endearing in Hollywood, and it culminated in a dream wedding in just two years.
The movie icon and Silva got married in 2018, after dating for two years. They went on to have two boys, Alexander, 5, and James, 4.
Gere also shares Homer with his ex-wife, actress and model Carey Lowell. Gere chose to name Homer after his grandfather as well as his middle Tibetan name "Jigme," per Daily Mail.
In honor of Father's Day in June, Silva—who is known for keeping their family out of the spotlight—shared a rare glimpse into the couple's personal life. On June 16, the Spanish publicist posted pictures of Gere and his sons on the beach to Instagram.
With a carousel of pictures, Silva wrote, "Happy Father’s Day, to the most wonderful dad four boys could ever wish for. Your endless patience, love, and dedication are truly remarkable. Happy Father’s Day to the man who is always there for us, making every moment special. Love, Mom, James, Alexander, Albert Homer ♥️♥️ #happyfathersday."
After reuniting in 2014, Gere and Silva soon started dating. In 2015, Silva revealed to Hola! that she had known Gere for over ten years and that the two hit it off instantly when they got back in touch.
"Our karma was attracted the moment we saw each other. 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," Silva said at the time.
