Richard Gere is celebrated as one of the most cherished actors of his generation, known for bringing many iconic characters to life. Even in his 70s, he remains a heartthrob for women worldwide.

Currently married to his third wife, Gere and Alejandra Silva are often seen together, and many have observed something notable about their relationship. Earlier this month, Gere, still captivating women’s hearts, attended an event in a classic black tuxedo, while his wife, Silva, 41, dazzled in a sparkling cream and silver gown.

The couple made a stylish appearance at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland.

Gere looked sharp in his tuxedo paired with a white collared shirt and bow tie, while Silva’s sleeveless dress highlighted her toned arms and glowing complexion, complemented by silver heels. They walked the red carpet arm-in-arm, clearly enamored with each other.

Though the couple is admired by many, some critics surfaced, with one person commenting, “She’s much younger, but hey, it’s their life. I don’t like her dress here.”

Others noted an interesting resemblance, with one saying, “I thought it was Julia Roberts,” and another adding, “She kind of looks like Julia Roberts.” These remarks are particularly intriguing given Gere’s iconic chemistry with Roberts in the 1990 film *Pretty Woman*.

Just as Gere shared a special connection with Roberts on screen, he seems to have a similar bond with his wife. Silva has expressed her deep affection for Gere, saying, “I never thought I’d find someone so perfect for me. I can’t describe my happiness.”

Addressing their age gap, Silva explained that it’s hardly noticeable, especially considering Gere’s active lifestyle. In fact, she joked that it can be hard to keep up with him, adding, “He promised me at least 20 good years!”

Silva believes she provides Gere with the stability he needs, mentioning that their shared passion for humanitarian work and commitment to Buddhism has strengthened their bond. She noted that Gere appreciates her dedication to helping others, and it brings them closer.

In addition to Silva, Gere’s son, Homer, from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell, is often seen with him. Recently, Gere and his son arrived at the Venice Film Festival, waving to the crowd from a small boat, as captured in a viral video.
