Richard Gere's wife shares joyous family update — 'We did it all together'

Richard Gere's wife Alejandra Gere revealed a major family achievement that's been a long time coming. Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old shared that the family had got their hands dirty in a new family project which they were now reaping the rewards from.

The publicist shared a photo of herself crouching amidst a rather impressive vegetable patch as she picked from the greenery in the bright sun. She also shared a photo of the vegetables they had grown, including what looked like, radishes, purple yams, and red onions.

She captioned the photo: "During the pandemic, we invested our time to create this incredible vegetable garden! We did it all together as a family! #vegetables #huerto #family #openarms."

Indeed, as the pandemic led to people staying at home more often, Alejandra, Richard and their two then-babies decided to spend time together by gardening. It seems their investment paid off as they were blessed with a bountiful harvest of vegetables - and the perfect year-round hobby.

She geo-tagged New York, to show that the couple had embarked on the project on their 35-acre New York estate which they quietly moved to a few years ago.

Together, Richard and Alejandra share two kids - five-year-old Alexander, and a four-year-old son. Very little is known about the couple's family, as they tend to avoid the limelight, although the publicist often shares snaps of their children on Instagram with their faces blotted out for privacy reasons.

Richard said of the move: "[Alejandra] was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so it's only fair that I give her at least another six years living in hers."

It'll be his first time living outside of the United States full-time, which he described as a "great adventure", adding that he thought it would be "interesting" for their kids.

"It is a beautiful place, the food is extraordinary and the people exude sensitivity and generosity, as well as an iron will to laugh and enjoy. So I'm looking forward to going there," he said in an interview with Vanity Fair Spain .

Richard also shares son Homer with ex-wife Carey Lowell, who is reportedly studying cognitive neuroscience and visual art at Brown University. Like his father, Homer shares an interest in acting, having recently started writing and directing "little movies", Richard explained. "He has suddenly become interested and seems to enjoy it."
