They captured hearts in “Pretty Woman” and reunited for “Runaway Bride” — but real life took them in very different directions.

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere became a favorite on-screen couple in the 1990 romantic comedy “Pretty Woman”. The movie, directed by G. Marshall, tells the story of a rich businessman who falls in love with a Hollywood escort. It was a huge hit and turned Roberts into a global star.
Almost 10 years later, the two actors teamed up again for “Runaway Bride”, also directed by Marshall. In this film, Roberts plays a woman who keeps leaving grooms at the altar. Gere plays a journalist covering her story. While it didn’t get the same praise as “Pretty Woman”, fans still loved it, and the movie did well at the box office.
Julia is still active in the film industry. She’s set to appear in two new movies: “After the Hunt’ and ‘Panic Carefully”. In 2025, she received an Honorary César Award in France. She also supports animal rescue and recently worked with a group helping dogs. On Mother’s Day, she shared a rare family photo with her husband and three kids. She also recently said goodbye to her beloved 19-year-old dog.
Richard now lives in Madrid, Spain, with his wife A. Silva and their two sons. He enjoys a peaceful life focused on family and helping others. The couple supports causes like helping homeless people and migrants. He recently appeared in the movie “Longing”. At 75, he says kindness and helping people are more important to him than fame.
