Richard Gere and wife Alejandra Silva are celebrating another beautiful chapter in their longtime love story and giving fans a rare peek into the deeply personal moments they usually keep private.
On Tuesday, May 5, Silva honored the “Pretty Woman” actor with an emotional anniversary tribute on Instagram as the couple celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary.

Alejandra Silva Shares Rare Wedding Photos With Richard Gere
“Eight years ago today, we gathered with our families and the people we love most to celebrate the beginning of our life together,” Silva wrote in the emotional post.
“It was one of the most magical days of our lives — a day full of love, joy, emotion, and the feeling that something truly special was beginning.”
Fans quickly filled the comments with love as the deeply personal tribute offered a rare look into the couple’s quiet and lasting romance.
The collection of photos captured several heartfelt moments from the couple’s Buddhist wedding celebration held at Gere’s ranch in Pound Ridge, New York.
In one sweet snapshot, the couple smiled warmly while posing together, while another showed Silva gently holding Gere’s face during an intimate moment at the ceremony.
Other images captured the newlyweds walking arm in arm through the celebration grounds, laughing together beneath outdoor tents, and sharing a tender kiss surrounded by loved ones.
Silva also shared close-up details from her bridal look, which featured a flowing white lace gown, layered gold bracelets, and delicate white flowers woven into her braided hair.
One especially touching photo appeared to show Silva reaching for the hand of her son Albert, whom she shares with former husband Govind Friedland.
The couple married in a private civil ceremony in Spain earlier in 2018, then celebrated with family and close friends in New York.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Built a Family Together
Since getting married, Gere and Silva have quietly built a close-knit family life together away from the Hollywood spotlight.
People confirmed that the couple welcomed their first son together, Alexander, in February 2019, followed by their second son, James, in April 2020.
While they rarely put their relationship on public display, Silva has continued to share heartfelt tributes to Gere over the years, often reflecting on the love, gratitude, and family they have created together.
In her latest anniversary message, Silva opened up about how much their relationship has grown since their wedding day.
Getty“Many years later, our love story continues… with even more depth, more memories, more children, more laughter, more life, and the same happy ending I dreamed of that day.”
She ended the touching tribute with a message directly to her husband, writing, “Happy anniversary, my love. I would choose you again, in every lifetime. #happiness.”
The anniversary post was not the first time Silva publicly celebrated Gere with emotional words.
Last year, she shared another heartfelt tribute while honoring the actor’s 75th birthday, reflecting on the life they have built together over more than a decade.
Getty“After 11 amazing years together, it still feels like the day we first met,” Silva wrote at the time.
“The journey we’ve shared, the beautiful family we’ve built, and the memories we’ve created are more than I could have ever dreamed of.”
She added, “You make my life better in every way, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side.”
