Richard Gere, 73, is recovering after being hospitalized with pneumonia during the family trip to Mexico to celebrate his wife’s 40th birthday.
Richard Gere, 73, was reportedly hospitalized with pneumonia this week during his family trip to Mexico to celebrate his wife Alejandra Silva’s 40th birthday.
TMZ reports that the actor was diagnosed with the lung infection after being admitted to a hospital near his vacation home in Nuevo Vallarta.
Gere was said to have been suffering from a cough prior to the trip, where his health deteriorated so severely that he felt the need to seek medical attention.
The Officer And A Gentleman star spent a night in the hospital, where he received treatment for his illness.
Gere has since been released from the facility, according to the outlet’s sources, and his health is said to be improving.

It is said that he was given antibiotics to continue his treatment while he recovers from the infection outside the hospital.
Silva, a Spanish publicist and longtime family friend of Gere’s, married him in 2018 at their sprawling ranch in upstate New York.
Since then, the couple have welcomed two children together: four-year-old Alexander and a two-year-old boy whose name has not been made public.
Both children accompanied Gere and Silva on their last trip to Mexico, where Silva revealed that the entire family had fallen ill.
She wrote on Instagram Thursday: ‘Thank you all for the birthday wishes… after almost 3 weeks of everyone in our family being sick today I finally feel so much better! Thank you for all the love ❤️ I give it all back to you!’
