“This year has brought changes and challenges, but through it all you’ve been the constant our rock,” Alejandra wrote on Instagram. “The boys and I feel your love in every moment: the way you show up for us, the patience you bring, the strength you give, and the heart you pour into this family.”
She continued, “You are everything to us the best husband and the best dad always giving, always helping. Even in the busiest days, you are the center of our little universe, and we are so grateful for you. We love you beyond words, today and always.”

The Runaway Bride actor married Alejandra in 2018. They’ve welcomed sons Alexander and James together. Richard is also a stepdad to Alejandra’s son, Albert.
With their family, Richard and Alejandra moved to Spain, Alejandra’s home country. “The truth is that you are seeing us in our momentum. We are happier than ever,” Richard told Elle España earlier this year. “If she is happy, I am happy.”
