'Pretty Woman' actor Richard Gere must be on cloud nine at the moment! At the age of 69, the Hollywood star is all set to become a father again as his activist wife Alejandra Silva shared the joyous news with the most adorable picture on social media. 

“A very special moment just a few minutes ago," 35-year-old Silva captioned the photo, in which spiritual leader Dalai Lama is seen blessing the couple's unborn child, breaking the news of her pregnancy to the world. This would be Gere and Silva's first baby, although both of them share children from their previous marriages. While the 'Unfaithful' actor shares son 18-year-old Homer with ex-wife Carey Lowell, Silva is mother to son Albert from a previous relationship with Govind Friedland.
