Richard Gere 's wife Alejandra Gere has shared photos of him celebrating her birthday and has told fans that their family are "mostly recovered" from recent health issues.
It was reported two weeks ago that the actor, 73, had been hospitalised with pneumonia whilst visiting Mexico with his wife Alejandra, 40, and their two young children.
Alejandra - who has been married to Richard since 2018 - has shared updates about his health on Instagram more recently, telling fans about his recovery from the infection.
She told her followers on the platform last week that her husband Richard - who is best known for films like Pretty Woman and Chicago - was "feeling much better".
