Richard Gere, 75, revealed on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight show that he’s moving to Spain with wife Alejandra Silva, 41, and kids after Donald Trump became US President Elect: ‘She gave me about 7 years’ in the US’
Richard Gere, 75, Relocates to Spain with Wife Alejandra Silva, 41, and Kids After Donald Trump Becomes President-Elect: ‘She Gave Me 7 Years in the US, But It’s Time to Move On’
In a bold move following the election of Donald Trump as President-Elect in 2016, actor Richard Gere, 75, has decided to relocate his family to Spain, a country that has become a new home for the Gere-Silva clan. Gere, best known for his roles in Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman, has spent much of his life in the United States, but after a period of reflection, he and his wife, Alejandra Silva, 41, have chosen to start a new chapter abroad.
For the couple, whose marriage and family have captured the attention of fans and media alike, the decision to move to Spain seems to be rooted in both personal and political considerations. In a recent interview, Gere, who is an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, spoke candidly about how the political climate in the US influenced their decision.
“She gave me about seven years in the US,” Gere said, referring to his wife Alejandra, a Spanish public relations executive. “But it’s time to move on. The political situation and the direction the country was taking under Trump just didn’t feel like the right place for us anymore.”
A Fresh Start in Spain
The move to Spain is not just a political statement for Gere and Silva—it is also a chance for the couple to raise their two young children in a different cultural environment. While the Gere family has enjoyed a comfortable life in the US, Silva’s roots in Spain have always remained a significant part of her identity. The couple, who married in 2018, has often spoken about their shared love for Spain, where they have spent significant time over the years.
Gere, who first met Silva while she was working as a publicist for his film The Double (2016), has frequently praised the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, and laid-back lifestyle. The couple has since spent much of their time between New York and Madrid
