Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra relocated to Spain from the U.S. with their children toward the end of 2024
Alejandra said in a new interview with the Daily Mail that she and Gere plan to live in the European country “for a few years” before returning to the U.S.
“We’re always coming back. We’ll come back here in the summer because we have the kids at camp,” she explained
Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra are eventually planning to return to the United States, after recently relocating to Spain.
Alejandra, who moved with Gere to her home country in late 2024, spoke to the Daily Mail recently during the City Harvest Presents The 2025 Gala: Carnaval in New York City, saying that they plan to live there “for a few years” before heading back to the U.S. after missing it.
“For a few years [we’ll live in Spain], and then come back,” said Alejandra, who shares sons Alexander, 6, and James, 5, with Gere, 75. “But we’re always coming back. We’ll come back here in the summer because we have the kids at camp. We just have to balance our lives there and here.”
The publicist and activist, 42, decided with Gere to relocate to Spain with their children after spending years living in New York City to be close to the actor.
“I’m with my family … I missed them a lot. But I miss the U.S. So we come back and forth,” Alejandra (née Silva) told the Daily Mail.

In April 2024, Gere announced in an interview with Vanity Fair Spain his big move to Spain with his wife, whom he tied the knot with in 2018.
“For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,” he told the outlet. “She was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so it is only fair that I give her at least another six living in hers.”
The Pretty Woman actor later sold his $11 million Connecticut home in October 2024 as he packed to relocate across the globe with his family.
And Gere’s adult son Homer, whom he shares with ex-wife Carey Lowell, said he “misses” his father, stepmother and brothers, and is looking forward to their return.
“I’ve been told they’re going to move back within the next few years, so hopefully that’s the case because I miss them here,” he told the Daily Mail.

Gere and Alejandra moved to Spain just before Thanksgiving in 2024. In November, the actor said while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, “My wife is Spanish and she gave me about seven years here, so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid with her family.”
He added, “Our kids are bilingual, so they’re going to flourish there.”
Gere celebrated his first Father’s Day in Spain in March. Alejandra shared a carousel of photos on Instagram at the time of the actor celebrating with their boys at the beach.
“Happy 1st Spanish Father’s Day to the dad of the world,” she wrote in the caption.
