As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that witnessing such a heartwarming reunion between Richard Gere and Valarie Kaprisky is truly a delightful sight. Their shared history, spanning more than four decades, is a testament to the enduring bonds formed during the making of iconic films like Breathless.

On Monday night, Richard Gere met up once again with Valarie Kaprisky in the city of Paris – a reunion that has taken over 40 years to happen, since they acted as lovers in the movie “Breathless” back in 1983.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself standing beside a familiar face during an extraordinary Christmas gathering at Fouquet’s Barrière restaurant. The occasion? A heartwarming dinner hosted by the Soleil d’Enfance association, known for their annual charity events in the bustling French capital. Together, we shared a moment of camaraderie and joy as we smiled for the cameras.

Richard, aged 75, sported a stylish grey silk suit, paired with a crisp white shirt beneath, and completed the look with a grey tasseled scarf.

As for Valarie, aged 62, she exuded elegance while donning a well-tailored red midi dress boasting voluminous puffed sleeves and a classic boat neckline.

As a devoted admirer, I rounded off my elegant ensemble by adding a tasteful pair of silver earrings, while gracefully curling my dark tresses into gentle waves cascading down my shoulders.

In 1983, the two actors took on leading roles in the U.S. adaptation of the film Breathless. Here, Richard portrayed Jesse, a character in need of an urgent exit from Las Vegas due to his precarious circumstances.

He steals a car to drive to L.A but on the way he shoots a police officer, when he eventually makes it to L.A. he stays with Monica, played by Valarie, a beautiful girl he has only known for a few days. 

With each passing moment in the movie, the law enforcement gets nearer to him, while the criminal acts intensify. Consequently, they are compelled to flee and elude capture.

Richard recently made a brief visit to Paris, which follows on from his announcement that he and his wife, Alejandra Silva, along with their family, will soon be moving from their long-time home in the U.S. to Spain, after many years of residence there.

Actor from Pretty Woman shared that he will depart for Madrid, Spain’s capital, to spend Thanksgiving with his dear ones, including Alejandra.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to bring your attention to an intriguing moment from a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Richard, in his characteristic charm, humorously addressed a topic by saying, ‘Being married to a Spanish woman, does this cause any issues for anyone here?’

Afterward, he shared that his spouse is Spanish, and they’ve lived here for approximately seven years. So, we’ll be spending a few years in Madrid together.

‘Our kids are bilingual so they’re going to flourish there,’ he continued.

Richard and Alejandra, who wed in 2018, share two sons together – Alexander, five, and James, four.

Furthermore, the well-known actor from Hollywood plays the role of stepfather to the 11-year-old son, Albert, of the Spanish activist, and is also a father to his own son, Homer, aged 24, whom he had with his second wife, actress Carey Lowell.

Richard did confirm that he won’t be quitting America forever and added: ‘Of course I’ll be back.’

Regarding his family, the Chicago star enthusiastically stated, “I adore my wife; she’s amazing. An excellent mother. Our children are thriving and content. There’s truly nothing beyond that.

As they discussed their upcoming Thanksgiving, he mentioned: ‘Growing up, my wife’s family was quite large, similar to an Italian clan, with her grandmother acting as the bond that kept them united.’

Approximately two years have passed since the grandmother passed away, and it seems as though my wife is taking on the role of the new matriarch in our extended family. Consequently, she’s already making plans for 35 people to attend Sunday lunches.
