“My wife grew up in a big Spanish family, like a big Italian family, and her grandmother was kind of the glue that held that all together," he said in an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

Alejandra shared some photos on her social media, celebrating her husband's special day. The photo showed Gere holding on to his two sons, with him wearing a King's crown.
