Richard Gere's Son Follows Acting Path

Hollywood veteran Richard Gere, known for his roles in "Pretty Woman" and "Primal Fear," maintains a private life regarding his blended family. His eldest son, Homer James Jigme Gere, born on February 6, 2000, in New York City, is now carving out his own path in the entertainment industry. Homer, who is 26 as of 2026, recently made his major television debut in the third season of HBO's "Euphoria."

Richard Gere has expressed immense pride in his son's burgeoning acting career, noting Homer's initial interest stemmed from making student films. Homer, who also holds a degree in visual arts and was reportedly on a psychology track, has impressed his father with his talent. Gere shared that Homer's journey into acting began organically through collaborations with friends and universities, quickly leading to professional opportunities.

While Homer, 26, embraces his growing career, Gere's younger sons, Alexander, 7, and James, 6, with his wife Alejandra Silva, are kept largely out of the public eye. Photos of Alexander and James are shared occasionally, but their faces are consistently obscured. The family relocated to Spain in 2024 but has since returned to the US, where they focus on their children's well-being and support. Gere and Silva also draw on Buddhist principles to navigate family challenges, emphasizing patience and open communication.
