Richard Gere, known for iconic roles in *Pretty Woman* and *Chicago*, is starting a new chapter by moving to Spain with his family. Born in Philadelphia in 1949, Gere has enjoyed a Hollywood career spanning over five decades, earning accolades like a Golden Globe. Despite his stardom, he has always valued a meaningful, quieter life centered on family and humanitarian work.
Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, are relocating to Madrid to embrace a relaxed, family-oriented lifestyle. Drawing from Alejandra’s Spanish heritage, Gere called the move a “beautiful adventure,” expressing his admiration for Spain’s culture, cuisine, and people. The change also offers their children the chance to connect with their Spanish roots.
The couple recently sold their Connecticut estate, signaling their commitment to this transition. Previously based in New York to remain close to his eldest son, Homer, Gere has always prioritized family. Married since 2018, Gere and Alejandra share a strong bond built on shared values and are excited to begin a peaceful life together in Madrid.
