Renowned actor Richard Gere found himself in a Mexican hospital during a family vacation over the weekend. Now, his wife, Alejandra Gere, has provided an update on his recovery and well-being.
American actor Richard Gere, aged 73, is on the road to recovery after being rushed to a hospital in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico, for pneumonia while on vacation with his family.
In an Instagram post, Alejandra Gere, Richard's wife, shared the good news, stating, "Richard feels much better, we all feel much better, 'almost' back to normal."
The photograph accompanying the message captures a heartwarming moment on the beach, with Richard playfully carrying one of their children on his shoulders, and Alejandra holding the hand of another.
The couple had originally embarked on a Mexican beach holiday to celebrate Alejandra's 40th birthday. However, the trip took an unexpected turn due to a severe cough that evolved into a more serious medical condition.
After consulting with a healthcare professional, Richard Gere received a diagnosis of pneumonia, leading to his admission to the local 'The Jewel' hospital, where he remained under observation for 24 hours.
Alejandra expressed her gratitude towards Dr. Ríos and The Jewel Hospital, acknowledging that their visit to Mexico was part of a conservation project near Puerto Vallarta. Unfortunately, they all arrived in Mexico unwell, which complicated their vacation plans.
Despite the initial health scare, Alejandra assured well-wishers that the family is now on the path to recovery. She concluded her message with gratitude for the support they received, adding a touch of humor by sharing a vintage photo of her shirtless and improved husband, Richard Gere, playfully emphasizing his improved spirits.
