On the eve of the Goya ceremony, Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva arrived in Granada, Spain, hand-in-hand. At the press conference given by the Spanish Film Academy, they proudly posed together, as they often do, not bothering to show their love to the photographers.

On February 8, at the Goya ceremony, the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars, Richard Gere received an award for his "outstanding contribution to cinema," according to the Academy.

The Goya statuette was presented to him by his colleague Antonio Banderas.

In his 50-year career - Gere's first film appearance was in 1975 in "Rapport Confidential" - he has starred in about 50 films, including the cult hits "American Gigolo" (1980), "Pretty Woman" (1990) and "Chicago" (2002).

Together for ten years now, Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva tied the knot in 2018, shortly before the birth of their first child, Alexander, in 2019. They then had a second son, James, in 2020. The 75-year-old actor was already father to Homer, the product of his marriage to actress Carrie Lowell, while the 40-year-old Spanish businesswoman already had a son, Albert, born in 2010 from her previous marriage to Goving Friedland. | BGNES
