Supporters were eager to show their appreciation for the couple, complimenting their appearance and chemistry in numerous remarks. “How sweet,” one fan wrote, while another said, “She is a very attractive lady.” What he sees in her, I see as well. They are a compatible pair. “Beautiful couple,” and “Love Richard Gere,” were posted by other admirers.

Although the majority of responses were encouraging, one person expressed dissent, saying, “She’s much younger, but hey, it’s their life.” I dislike her outfit at this place. Furthermore, a few fans pointed to a similarity between Silva and Julia Roberts, the actress who costarred with Gere in the cherished movie “Pretty Woman.”

One of the movie’s most iconic scenes had Gere’s character, Edward, playing the piano as Roberts’ character, Vivian, walked in. Years later, Gere made a sarcastic quip about their electric chemistry, adding, “I mean, no chemistry.” It was clear that there was no chemistry between this actor and this actress. That’s not anything I’ve seen in a while. It’s a seductive scene.

The real bond between Gere and Silva was evident during their appearance, as they remained close, in sharp contrast to the dynamics on screen. Before, Silva told Richard how happy she was, saying, “I never thought I’d find a man so perfect for me.” There are no words to express how happy I am. She has also stated that it was intended for them to be apart in terms of age. Silva remarked, “He has promised me at least 20 good years!” and said that Gere’s intensity frequently made it difficult for her to keep up with him.

Silva also brought attention to the fact that friends frequently make assumptions about what Gere gains from her and remark on how much he loves her. She feels that her steadfast dedication to serving others has given him stability. Above all, the fact that I wasn’t a model or an actor helped. That has never piqued my attention. Our shared commitment to Buddhism and the Tibetan people, as well as our desire to assist those in need, are what have most brought us together, she said.

Silva’s resolve to stick with Gere is reinforced by her description of their love as the most romantic and delightful dream she has ever had. Gere has stated that, as a result of being married to a lady who is so stunning, wise, and compassionate, he feels like the happiest guy alive. He is impressed by her commitment to humanitarian causes, her easygoing demeanor, her patience, and her extraordinary culinary abilities—especially her renowned salads.

Every time they go to important occasions together, their devotion for one another is obvious. On September 1, 2024, Gere made a noteworthy appearance at the Venice Film Festival in Italy. He was accompanied not only by his spouse, but also by his attractive son, Homer Gere.

The duo was the talk of the red carpet at the amfAR Gala Venezia. Gere looked dapper in his tuxedo, and Silva complemented him with an equally elegant dark blue gown by Silvia Tcherassi that included gorgeous lace floral appliqués. The dress had a daring low-cut back and a flowing skirt with a high neckline.

Videos from the occasion showed the pair exchanging passionate looks and striking poses for the cameras. Homer even made an appearance, flaunting his tuxedo and spending quality time with his father. Many people made comments about their appearances as the crowd saw the family connection, with one saying, “His son looks a lot like him! fortunate man

Gere was spotted joyfully greeting spectators as they arrived by boat at the Venice Film Festival, prior to their glitzy event. During their boat ride, they were also observed conversing, underscoring the close relationship between father and son.

about stage during the festival, Gere reflected about his 1978 debut picture, “Days of Heaven,” in a moving moment. “This is so emotional for me to see— this is my first film and [..] I don’t think I’ve seen this probably in 30/40 years,” he said after seeing a moment from the film. Noting that he was only a few years older than his son at the time he made the movie, he took great satisfaction in Homer’s emerging acting career and acknowledged his artistic ability.

Pennsylvania Rescuers In Shock After Finding Paralyzed Pittie Left Inside A Garbage Bag

Usually, when we wake up and get ready for our day, we don’t really think that we will end up being heroes that day.

So, when a Good Samaritan was working on a property in Philadelphia, they thought it was going to be just a regular day on the job.

However, while working, he noticed a discarded trash bag with something moving inside of it. He immediately rushed to investigate and, ripping open the bag, he saw something that completely took him by surprise.

Shocking Discovery

Inside of the bag, the worker found a white and tan Pittie that was in very bad condition.

The body of this terrified pup was completely stiff, and he could not move his head or his feet.

The heartbroken hooman gently took him out of the trash bag and placed him on a piece of cardboard. He also covered his stiff body with a blanket, hoping to keep him as warm as possible.

When he got the pup comfortable, he contacted the local authorities informing them of the situation.

While he waited, he gave the sweet boy some food hoping that he would take a few bites.

The Pennsylvania SPCA gladly answered the call and immediately headed down to the location of the pup.

When they arrived, they wasted no time and loaded the poor pup, later named Codi, into their car and took him to their facilities.

Seeing the condition Codi was in left the vets puzzled.

“What had happened to this poor soul? Why had he been discarded like trash?” Pennsylvania SPCA wrote in a Facebook post.

It didn’t take the vets too long to realize that Codi was unable to stand up on his paws. They conducted many tests and made sure that he was fed and had a lot of fresh water on hand.

They then started to stretch and massage his limbs, making sure that they were gentle and not scaring the pup.

After some time, Codi was able to stand up and even take his first careful steps.https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPennsylvaniaSPCA%2Fvideos%2F1864516417354047%2F%3Fref%3Dembed_video&show_text=0&width=267

Seeing this made his rescuers tear up. They knew that these steps meant that, one day, Codi would be able to live a normal life surrounded by incredible hoomans. But, what they didn’t know was that this was just around the corner.

As the Pennsylvania SPCA made sure to get the word out that this sweet boy was looking for a home – posting him on their social media and even advertising him on their local news – a loving family noticed him and completely fell in love.

Only one month after being found paralyzed inside of a trash bag, Codi found his forever home!

“The odds may have seemed against him, but he never gave up and last week, it all paid off when he found his forever home!” Pennsylvania SPCA wrote in a Facebook post about Codi’s adoption.

The SPCA staff were overjoyed!

The fact that Codi was so determined and able to turn his life around completely in such a short period brought smiles to their faces. They will never forget his resilience and bravery.  

“His recovery was pretty remarkable. And though he’s still a little wobbly, he’s been adopted and is living the best life!” Gillian Kocher, Pennsylvania SPCA director of public relations, told The Dodo.

Codi forgot all about his past and is now living the life of any doggos dreams with a family who adores him for who he truly is.

Final Word

Even though I am so happy that Codi managed to get his happily ever after, the fact that he was so cruelly dumped in the first place breaks my heart.

I am aware that sometimes, hoomans are no longer able to care for their dogs, but abandoning them on the streets will never be the answer.

This is why shelters exist!

I am sure that if his previous owners surrendered Codi to their local shelter, this sweet boy would have recovered much faster and would have been able to move on in a healthier way.

Being separated from their hoomans can really take a toll on pups, but receiving love and reassurance from shelter staff can make the process a lot easier as it will allow them to understand that it is not their fault!

So if, for any reason, you can no longer care for your pup, please do not abandon it on the streets. Rather, take it to your local shelter and offer it a second chance – they deserve it.
