Breaking News: Richard Gere and Wife Announce Amicable Divorce After 18 Years Together: Here’s
The “Pretty Woman” star and his wife reportedly part ways citing personal growth and life changes.
Hollywood star Richard Gere, 75, and his wife, Alejandra Silva, have officially announced their decision to end their 18-year-long marriage. Sources close to the couple reveal that their separation is amicable and rooted in personal growth and evolving life paths rather than any dramatic falling out.
According to insiders, both Gere and Silva, 40, have been leading increasingly separate lives in recent years. While Gere has remained focused on his acting career and various humanitarian projects, Silva has dedicated herself to environmental activism and raising their two young children.
Friends of the couple say their decision to divorce is based on the need for individual fulfillment. “They are still deeply supportive of one another and committed to co-parenting their kids, but they realized they were growing apart in terms of their personal goals,” said a close friend.
The couple, who married in 2018, first captured the public’s attention for their significant age difference, but their relationship flourished for years. Gere’s past marriages, including to supermodel Cindy Crawford and actress Carey Lowell, were also high-profile, though he had always remained private about his personal life.
In a joint statement, Gere and Silva stated: “We have nothing but love and respect for each other and will remain united as parents to our children.”
The couple’s focus will now be on maintaining stability and care for their family as they navigate this new chapter.
