He admitted after the US blessing: ‘I am the happiest man in the universe, how could I not be?’

The pretty Galician-born blonde, the daughter of a former Vice President of Real Madrid who was educated at Leweston School in Dorset, told glossy magazine Hola in September 2016: ‘Richard has been my hero in real life.

‘I was a little lost, without light, and meeting him gave sense to my life.

‘I felt like someone was stretching out his hand and showing me the true path.’

Their relationship first became public in June 2015.

There has been no public comment from Richard Gere or his wife to the Spanish newspaper reports about them expecting their first child.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Gere for comment.
