The couple wed earlier this year in April in New York.
He gushed to Hello! magazine: “I’m the happiest man in the universe.
“How could I not be? I’m married to a beautiful woman who is smart, sensitive, committed to helping people, who’s fun, patient, who knows how to forgive, who’s a great cook – and who makes the best salads in the world!”
It is believed they started seeing each other in 2014 and first met while he was staying in an Italian hotel owned by her family.
In 2016 she explained how the film icon became her real life “hero.”
Alejandra told a Spanish magazine: “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.”
Congratulations Richard and Alejandra!
