Happiness in Spain

Richard Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, recently shared an update on their life after moving from Connecticut to Spain in November. The couple, who have been married since 2018, expressed their happiness and contentment in their new home. “The truth is that you are seeing us in our momentum,” Gere, 75, said during an interview on Tuesday.

“We are happier than ever.”

Silva, 41, echoed her husband’s sentiments, stating, “We are like soulmates. We have the same values, we see the world in the same way, and from the first moment, we felt like we have known each other for a long time.”

The couple first met in 2014 and have two sons together, Alexander, 5, and James, 4. Gere also has a son, Homer, 24, from his previous marriage to Carey Lowell, while Silva has an 11-year-old son, Albert, from a prior marriage.

Silva praised Gere’s parenting skills, saying, “Richard is a very devoted and present father.

He loves to read them stories.

It seems like an idyllic photo, but it’s true. He’s a great dad.”

In addition to their family life, the couple is also dedicated to humanitarian work in Spain. They are part of the board of an NGO that aims to end homelessness in the country within the next five years.

Gere shared a piece of advice he received from the 14th Dalai Lama, saying, “Whenever you can, be kind. And it is always possible.”

The actor previously expressed his excitement about the move to Spain, stating, “My wife is Spanish and she gave me about seven years here, and so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid. Our kids are bilingual, so they’re going to flourish there.”
