His gears are in dad mode.

Richard Gere, aged 75, recently shared on social media a glimpse into his life with his wife Alejandra Silva, who is 42, and their two young sons, Alexander, 6, and James, 5.

In the sweet Instagram snap, all four members of the family wore grey hoodies that said “Open Arms” on them.

Gere, 75, captioned his post, “This whole family is a proud supporter of @openarms_fund and their mission to save lives. ♥️. @alejandragere.”

Open Arms, a nonprofit organization, has a stated mission to safeguard those attempting to reach Europe by sea while escaping armed conflict, persecution, or poverty.

The couple initially crossed paths in 2014 and later got married in 2018. Gere also has a son named Homer, aged 24, from his former marriage to Carey Lowell, whereas Silva has an 11-year-old son named Albert from a previous relationship.

In 2024, Gere and Silva took their love across the pond moving from Connecticut to Spain in November.

“The truth is that you are seeing us in our momentum,” Gere revealed in an interview alongside Silva with Elle España. “We are happier than ever.”

The “American Gigolo” star contributes their happiness to their new home life in Spain.

Gere gushed, “She, because she is at home and I because, if she is happy, I am happy.”

“We are like soulmates,” Silva added during the sit-down. “We have the same values, we see the world in the same way and from the first moment we felt like we have known each other for a long time. And this only happens once, if it happens at all.”

The publicist shared, “We were united by the karma of our past lives.”

After selling their sprawling $10.75 million mansion in the northeast, Gere, Silva, and their kids have adjusted nicely to their new routine.

“Richard is a very devoted and present father,” Silva detailed. “He loves to read them stories. It seems like an idyllic photo, but it’s true. He’s a great dad.”

“He doesn’t cook. I do it, but when I cook, he plays the guitar.”

The move came due to Silva wanting to return to her home country along with the need for humanitarian work in the country.

“The only reason why both Richard and I are here in Madrid is to be part of the board of the NGO Hogar Sí,” she explained. “We want to help this country to end homelessness. Our goal is that, within 5 years, no one sleeps on the street.”

Prior to their move, Gere expressed his excitement for the next chapter.

“My wife is Spanish and she gave me about seven years here, and so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid,” he said while on “The Tonight Show” in November 2024. “Our kids are bilingual, so they’re going to flourish there.”

“My wife, she grew up in a very big Spanish family, like a big Italian family,” continued Gere. “Her grandmother was kind of the glue that held that all together, and the grandmother passed away about a year and a half ago, two years ago.

“So my wife, I can see her morphing into the new grandmother of this extended family. She’s already planning for, you know, 35 people for Sunday lunches.”

In March, Gere celebrated his first Spanish Father’s Day, with Silva sharing a slew of photos to Instagram in honor of the momentous day.

Silva sweetly wrote across one of the shots, “Happy 1st Spanish Father’s Day to the dad of the world.”
