Unblessed Birthday Blues: Reflections on a Lack of Well-Wishes

“Like two peas in a pod!” This is what Richard Gere’s firstborn looks like, who is in no way different from his father

In 2019, Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva became parents to a boy. A year later a second son was born. Although these are the couple’s first children together, they both bring experience from previous marriages into raising them.

Gere has a 22-year-old son named Homer James Jigme from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell. Richard Gere rose to fame through outstanding performances in films such as “Pretty Woman” and “An Officer and a Gentleman.”

Before his marriage to Silva, he was married to model and actress Cindy Crawford, with whom he was frequently seen on the red carpet and on magazine covers, before they separated after four years.

Seven years after this divorce, Gere married Carey Lowell and had his son Homer with her. During his relationship with Crawford, he had no desire to have children, unlike with Lowell. Homer was already known to the public at an early age due to his prominent parents.

When Gere’s marriage to Lowell ended in 2003, the family’s private life was heavily discussed in the media. Homer, who has a half-sister from his mother’s previous marriage, became big brother last year to another half-brother born to Alejandra Silva.

Homer himself leads a rather withdrawn life in New York and inherits not only his father’s charm, but also his attractive looks. Although he normally avoids publicity, he made a few public appearances with both parents as a child.
