Richard Gere is a father again after almost two decades since the birth of his first child! The Pretty Woman actor, who is married to 35-year-old Alejandra Silva, recently welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. As per a report on People, the couple welcomed their baby boy last week in New York. Gere shares his first son, 19-year-old Homer James Jigme, with ex-wife Carey Lowell. Silva is also a mother to 6-year-old boy Albert from her previous marriage.

Richard and Alejandra had known each other for decades before they first started dating in 2014. In April 2018, a source close to the couple broke the news that Gere and Silva have been married for weeks now and are "extraordinarily happy". ā€œTheyā€™re so comfortable with each other, have fun together and are looking forward to their future together,ā€ the insider revealed to People. Theirs was a hush-hush wedding which took place at Gere's estate in Pound Ridge, New York. For their wedding, several Tibetan monks were in attendance as Gere is a Buddhist.

Back in September 2018, Alejandra Silva took to Instagram to share the big news that she was expecting a child with Gere. Sharing a picture of Dalai Lama blessing her baby bump, she captioned the picture, ā€œWe couldnā€™t announce it before telling HH Dalai Lamaā˜ŗļø,ā€ wrote the Spanish businesswoman and activist. Throughout the pregnancy, the couple maintained to keep things low key.

So far a name hasn't been revealed by the couple. They sure seem really happy in their married space and are gearing up to start a new family together. We can't wait to get the first glimpse of their baby boy.
