Richard Gere, widely known as the charismatic leading man of Hollywood, has a grown-up son who bears a striking resemblance to him. Homer James Jigme Gere, the oldest son of Richard and his second ex-wife Carey Lowell, is turning heads with his good looks and charm.
Richard’s first marriage, to top model Cindy Crawford, ended in 1995 partly because the actor did not want to have children. However, his desire to become a father changed when he welcomed Homer in February 2000 with his then-girlfriend Carey Lowell, who is also an esteemed actress known for her work in the series “Law & Order” and as a Bond girl in “License to Kill.”
Throughout most of his life, Homer has been kept out of the public eye by his parents, who have shielded him from the scrutiny of fame. However, on rare occasions, fans have caught glimpses of him, such as when he accompanied his father on the red carpet of the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy in 2014.
Homer, a bright young man, is currently enrolled at the prestigious Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He is studying at the university’s School of Public Health, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Cognitive Neuroscience and Visual Arts. Homer also works as a research assistant at the university, demonstrating his dedication to his studies and his passion for learning.
While Homer is not very active on social media, his commitment to his education and personal growth shines through. His Facebook page has been quiet since around 2018, indicating that he values privacy and focuses on his academic pursuits.
In 2016, Homer’s parents finalized their divorce after a long custody battle. Lowell had initially filed for divorce in 2012, but it took several years to reach an agreement. The couple ultimately agreed to share custody of Homer, who maintains a close relationship with both his mother and father.
At 18 years old, Homer became a big brother when Richard married political activist Alejandra Silva, who is 33 years his junior. The family was photographed together during leisure time, showcasing their close bond. Richard, despite his age, proved to be just as physically fit as Homer as they worked out together.
Homer’s second baby brother was born in 2020, but the family has kept details about him private. Even though the two younger Gere boys are now toddlers, there is little information available about them. The Gere family continues to value their privacy and focus on creating a loving and supportive environment for their children.
