The footage has since sparked lively discussions among fans. One fan, taken aback by Silva’s youthful appearance, remarked, “I thought that’s his daughter 😊.” Another, seeking clarification, posted, “It’s not his daughter?” The disbelief at the age difference was evident as another user added, “She’s young.”

However, many comments showed admiration for both Gere and Silva. They praised the couple’s appearance with comments like, “He looks amazing, and so does his wife! Great clip! ” Still, others expressed more pointed sentiments, “That’s a shame” and jesting “Who’s that girl? He needs a woman😂.

The video began with the couple walking hand in hand along a New York City street. It then showed them turning into the building hosting the City Harvest’s Annual Fundraising Gala. The event honors supporters who’ve helped the organization feed people experiencing food insecurity.

Later, the pair joined other celebrities as they posed for pictures. Among the celebrities present at the event were music icon John Legend, his wife Chrissy Teigen, Sandra Ripert, and Eric Ripert, among many others.

Even though the two are used to Hollywood’s sparkle, their love story started in a quiet spot, far from the celebrity world’s flash and excitement. They met in Positano in 2014, at a hotel Silva was managing.

They reconnected after a friend introduced them. Silva said they felt a strong connection from the first time they looked at each other. “We couldn’t stop looking at each other all night, and since then we haven’t been apart,” she revealed.

And while she was not sure about being with him, Gere was pretty convinced. For the “Pretty Woman” actor, Silva was his forever after. He sent her flowers on the regular to woo her, until she agreed to go on a date with him. Gradually, the actor cleared any doubts Silva might have had in the beginning.

His romantic proposal, in St Paul de Vence in the South of France, only added to their story-book-worthy tale. In 2018, they walked down the aisle in a fairy-tale wedding attended by 39 of their closest family and friends.

Speaking about Silva, Gere revealed he was the happiest man alive to have been married to a beautiful, smart, fun, and patient woman. And the icing on the cake? He says she’s “a great cook, who makes the best salads in the world!”

Gere praised his wife with unending kind words. But the praise was mutual as Silva also felt she’d found the perfect man for her. “I have no words to describe my happiness,” she shared.

She delved into how lucky her husband made her feel each day. She considered him the most generous, sensitive, funny, attentive, and affectionate man she ever met. And the fact that he told her every day how special she was to him further fuelled her affection toward him. “I feel very lucky,” she declared.
