Richard Gere’s fatherly side was revealed in a rare series of edited Father’s Day photos shared by his wife. The intimate glimpse into his role as a father contrasts with his recent public appearance alongside another son.
Richard Gere, renowned for his iconic Hollywood roles, displayed a different facet in the Father’s Day photos shared by his wife, Alejandra Silva, on Instagram.
The collection of four photos featured their three sons—James, Alexander, and Albert—with their faces blurred. In one image, Richard smiled warmly alongside Alejandra and Albert, holding a certificate.
In another photo, the “Pretty Woman” actor hugged his son, identified by a “Jamie” shirt, as they enjoyed a milkshake together at a restaurant.
A third picture captured Richard, Alejandra, and their son in a cheerful moment at a park, with a playground visible in the background.
The final black-and-white photograph depicted the entire family enjoying a day at the beach. Alejandra expressed deep appreciation and love for her husband in her caption: “Happy Father’s Day, to the most wonderful dad four boys could ever wish for.”
While Alejandra’s heartfelt tribute garnered admiration from many, some online critics questioned the decision to blur their sons’ faces, expressing frustration over the lack of visibility.
Despite maintaining privacy about his family life, Richard recently shared a rare glimpse into his life as a father during an April 2024 interview with Vanity Fair Spain.
He discussed their daily routine, highlighting the presence of their three young children aged 11, 5, and 4, and their early bedtime of 9:30 PM.
Reflecting on their relationship, Alejandra has praised Richard’s diverse qualities, describing him as “humble, sensitive, affectionate, attentive, funny, and generous.” She expressed her deep love for him and appreciation for his role in their family.
Richard and Alejandra made a rare public appearance earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival, accompanied by Richard’s 24-year-old son, Homer James Jigme Gere.
The trio looked elegant, with Alejandra stunning in a black floral print gown and both Richard and Homer in classic black suits and bow ties.
Fans were captivated by Homer’s appearance, praising his striking looks and noting his resemblance to his mother, actress Carey Lowell.
Richard has always been supportive of Homer’s interests and talents, describing him as “very sweet, very sensitive, and very smart.” Homer has ventured into filmmaking and acting, aligning with his father’s artistic background.
Despite their public personas, the Gere family remains committed to maintaining privacy, focusing on their bond, and supporting each other’s creative endeavors.
