Richard Gere has passed on his infectious charm and handsome looks to Homer – his first-born son

Richard Gere, 74, has only recently become a father again.

Richard and his wife, Alejandra Silva, 39, had a baby boy in February 2019. In April 2020, the birth of their second son was reported.

While the babies are Gere and Silva’s first children together, they each have children from past relationships.

In Gere’s case, it means his 22-year-old son, Homer James Jigme, whom he co-parents with ex-wife Care Lowell.

You’re inquisitive about the 22-year-old’s current appearance. Fortunately, we have an answer, and you will not be disappointed.

Richard Gere solidified his role as a Hollywood heartthrob with roles in American Gigolo and legendary films like Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman.

Richard then met his first wife, Cindy Crawford, a model and actress. According to media sources, the pair met at a barbecue.

“We talked, then we had a date, then we had another date,” Crawford said.

The couple quickly became one of Hollywood’s most popular, and the paparazzi trailed them wherever they went.

Gere and Crawford appeared on red carpets and front covers, and they dined at the greatest restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. However, Gere was unsure whether he would marry his younger love.

However, in December 1991, the couple decided to board the jet and marry in Las Vegas. The wedding was far from spectacular, with only a few guests invited to the chapel.

“It was the wedding I dreamed of. It was so last minute,” Crawford once said about the nuptials.

Four years later, the couple was divorced. Cindy Crawford has always said that the age difference was too significant.

She was 22 and Richard was 39 when they met.

“I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, ‘Okay, I’ll follow,’ but then you start going, ‘Well, I don’t want to just follow — I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes,’” she admitted.

Seven years after his unsuccessful marriage, Gere met Carey Lowell, a model and actor.

Their first and only child, Homer Gere, was born in February 2000.

Gere has expressed reservations about having children throughout his engagement with Crawford. Everything was different for Carey Lowell.

“It was actually quite simple. I never had an issue about children one way or the other. With Carey, she had a child from a previous marriage, and it was just a natural thing, caring for this child, having our own child. It was totally spontaneous and right,” he told The Guardian in 2002.

Homer was born in New York City, and his parents named him after their fathers. They also gave him the Tibetan name Jigme, in honor of Gere’s support to human rights in Tibet.

When asked by The Guardian about how parenting may transform a guy, the Pretty Woman star replied:

“The marginal stuff just doesn’t affect you any more when you weigh it against the real things in your life. All the cliches [about parenthood] are true. “

Homer was thrust into the spotlight at a young age, thanks to his parents’ celebrity status.

When his mother and father separated in 2003, much was written about the family’s privacy.

The divorce sparked a lot of gossip and harsh shots. Homer was once again thrust into the spotlight as his parents argued about who would get custody of him.

According to media sources, Carey Lowell imposed the harsh criteria because she had stopped working for several years. Lowell stated that she gave up her profession to support Gere and their son Homer, and that as a result, she is entitled to half of Gere’s salary since their marriage in 2002.

Homer James Jigme Gere has a half-sister, Hannah Dunne, from his mother Carey Lowell’s previous marriage to actor, producer, and director Thomas Griffin Dunne.

Then, last year, Homer gained a half-brother when Richard Gere’s wife, Alejandra Silva, gave birth to a newborn boy in New York.

Unlike his father, Homer prefers to keep a low profile. He currently resides in New York.

Richard appears to have passed on his infectious charm and good looks to his kid.

But, unlike his father, Homer prefers to keep a low profile. Despite his tendency to avoid the spotlight, Homer made several public appearances with both of his parents during his boyhood.

For example, Homer has appeared alongside his father at Europe’s largest children’s film festival, the ‘Giffoni Film Festival,’ held in Giffoni Valle Piana, Italy. According to sources, Homer remains close to his father, and many people believe the two bear a strong likeness.
