Inheriting Richard Gere’s Charming Presence and Handsome Looks
Richard Gere, who is 72 years old, recently became a dad again with his 39-year-old wife, Alejandra Silva. They welcomed their first son in February 2019 and their second in April 2020. Richard has a 22-year-old son named Homer James Jigme from his previous marriage with ex-wife Carey Lowell.
Richard Gere is known for his roles in movies like American Gigolo, Pretty Woman, and An Officer and a Gentleman. He was once married to model and actress Cindy Crawford, and they had a low-key wedding in Las Vegas in 1991. However, they divorced four years later, citing the age difference as a factor.
After his divorce, Gere met Carey Lowell, and they had a son named Homer in February 2000. Gere, who was initially hesitant about having children, embraced fatherhood with Lowell.
Homer’s full name is Homer James Jigme Gere, and he was born in New York City. His parents named him after their fathers and gave him the Tibetan name Jigme due to Gere’s involvement in human rights in Tibet.
Homer grew up in the public eye due to his famous parents. When Gere and Lowell divorced in 2003, there were speculations about custody issues. Lowell claimed she gave up her career for Gere and their son, leading to debates about financial matters.
Homer has a half-sister named Hannah Dunne from his mother’s previous marriage to actor Thomas Griffin Dunne. Last year, Homer became a half-brother when Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva welcomed another baby boy.
Despite his parents’ fame, Homer prefers to keep a low profile. He currently resides in New York and is known for making occasional public appearances with his father. Many people notice a strong resemblance between Richard Gere and his son Homer.
