"A very special moment just a few minutes ago... Getting blessings for our precious to come," wrote Silva alongside the photo.

Gere and Silva who were familiar with each other for over a decade started dating in 2014. A source close to the couple revealed the couple got married secretly a long time ago to People in April 2018. The source told,

They're so comfortable with each other, have fun together and are looking forward to their future together.

According to Hola, the Spanish outlet, the lovebirds who were in a relationship for over four years tied the knot in a civil ceremony in early April and celebrated the nuptials at a party in New York in early May.

Months after his wedding, a source close to the couple told Chicago star:

Practicing Buddhism and doing humanitarian work have fulfilled and transformed him, and he is at a stage when he can make the kinds of films that he likes.

Before Silva, Gere was married twice; first to supermodel Cindy Crawford, with whom he remained married from 1991 to 1995. He later tied the knot with Carey Lowell in 2002 and welcomed a son with her. Richard and Lowell separated in 2013 and they finalized divorce in 2016.
