Richard Gere Highlights Family Unity and Humanitarian Spirit in Rare Instagram Moment

Richard Gere, 75, recently shared a rare and heartfelt family moment on Instagram, where he, his wife Alejandra Gere, and their young sons Alexander and James were pictured wearing matching grey hoodies in support of Open Arms. This nonprofit organization focuses on rescuing migrants attempting to reach Europe by sea while fleeing war, poverty, or persecution. The photo, which featured the boys with their backs turned and a dog in the background, was captioned with the family’s pride in supporting the life-saving mission of Open Arms.

Blended Family Embraces Love, Values, and a Fulfilling Life Together in Spain

Richard and Alejandra Gere were married in a private ceremony in April 2018 and have since expanded their family with two sons, Alexander and James. Their blended household also includes Alejandra’s older son, Albert, from a previous relationship, and Gere’s adult son Homer, whom he shares with ex-wife Carey Lowell. The couple’s family dynamic reflects a deep commitment to unity and shared values, both in their personal lives and in their public support for humanitarian efforts.

In March, Alejandra marked the family’s first Spanish Father’s Day with a photo series on Instagram showing the family enjoying outdoor activities near the ocean. Since relocating to Spain in late 2024, the couple has embraced a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle. Alejandra praised Gere’s dedication as a father in an interview with ELLE España, describing him as present and nurturing. She noted that while he doesn’t cook, he contributes by playing guitar for the kids — a balance that reflects their domestic harmony.

Balancing Life Between Spain and the U.S. While Staying Strong as a Family

Although the family is currently settled in Spain, Alejandra confirmed they plan to return to the U.S. eventually. For now, they are enjoying a few years in Spain, with regular visits back to the U.S. during the summer for their children’s camp activities. Their transatlantic lifestyle is a reflection of their efforts to maintain a balanced family routine that respects both heritage and opportunity.

Gere’s relationship with his eldest son, Homer, remains close. In April 2025, Gere attended the City Harvest Gala in New York alongside Alejandra and Homer. He expressed his joy at spending time with his son, whether during charitable events or quiet walks in nature. This bond further highlights Gere’s deep sense of family, spanning from his youngest children to his grown son, and his enduring commitment to both parenthood and giving back.
