Hollywood's Age Gap Romance: Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva Ignite Instagram

She is Alejandra Silva, the third and latest wife of Richard Gere, whom she is pictured with on the cover of the February issue of Elle Spain

Hollywood Legend's Younger Wife Sizzles on Instagram, But What's Really Going On Behind Closed Doors?

The scandalous marriage of Richard Gere and his 42-year-old wife Alejandra Silva has been making waves in Tinseltown for years, but the latest sizzling photoshoot is taking their romance to new heights. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, has been living a luxurious life in Madrid, Spain, but it seems they're not letting the grass grow under their feet.

Alejandra Silva, the stunning Spanish publicist, took to Instagram to share a series of sultry snaps from the cover shoot of Elle Spain's February issue. The 42-year-old bombshell showed off her curves in a bra-less white tank top and a plunging white short, complete with black trousers and a statement silver necklace shaped like a snake.

Born in Spain , the brunette bombshell is nearly a quarter of a century younger than her husband, who is instantly recognizable to moviegoers around the world

But what caught our attention was not just Alejandra's jaw-dropping looks, but also the sweet captions she shared alongside the photos. "This is our momentum," Richard Gere gushed in the interview accompanying the magazine cover. "We are happier than ever." And it seems he's not the only one who feels that way - Alejandra has revealed that she and her husband have a deep connection, which goes beyond just romance.

"We were united by the karma of our past lives," Alejandra confessed in an interview with The Scholarly Note. "We share the same values, see the world in the same way, and feel like we've known each other for a long time." She also gushed about Richard's dedication to their children, saying he's "a great dad" who loves reading stories to them.

But what about their age difference? Alejandra is nearly 33 years younger than her husband, which has raised eyebrows in the industry. However, it seems they're not letting that get in the way of their love story. In fact, Richard has been vocal about his admiration for his wife's beauty and inner qualities.

The couple's November outing was their first time seen in public since they both moved to Madrid, bringing his wife back to her home country of Spain

"I love my wife, she's incredible," he gushed to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "Great mother. Kids are healthy and happy." And Alejandra seems to be enjoying every moment of her time in the spotlight. Who can blame her? With a husband as charming and devoted as Richard Gere, it's no wonder she's feeling like the luckiest woman in the world.

But behind the scenes, there might be more going on than meets the eye. Sources close to the couple have revealed that they're planning to spend at least six years in Madrid, which is quite a commitment considering their busy schedules as Hollywood stars. Richard has also been spotted taking his children on outings around the city, and Alejandra seems to be settling into her new role as the matriarch of the Gere-Silva household.

As for their love story, it's clear that Richard and Alejandra have a deep connection. They reconnected in Italy in 2014 after first meeting through a mutual friend, and quickly discovered they shared passions for humanitarian work and spirituality. It seems their love has only grown stronger over the years, despite their age difference.

Richard did confirm that he won't be quitting America forever and added: 'Of course I'll be back'

So what's next for this power couple? With Alejandra's stunning looks and Richard's dedication to their family, it's clear they're in it for the long haul. And judging by those sizzling photos from the Elle Spain cover shoot, we can't wait to see more of them on screen - or off it.
