After a remarkable Hollywood career spanning decades, Richard Gere has made the heartfelt decision to leave the United States, signaling a meaningful new chapter in his life.

Renowned for his iconic roles in films like *Pretty Woman* and *Chicago*, Gere captivated audiences with his talent and charm for over 50 years.

Despite his fame, he has always preferred a life away from the limelight, focusing in recent years on humanitarian work and advocacy. Now, Gere is embarking on a fresh start, relocating to Madrid with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their children.

In a 2024 interview, Gere revealed that this move was inspired by Alejandra’s Spanish heritage. “Alejandra gave me six years in my world, so it’s only fair I spend time in hers,” he shared, expressing excitement about embracing Spain’s rich culture and vibrant lifestyle.

The family plans to immerse themselves in Alejandra’s roots while giving their children a deeper connection to Spanish traditions.

Having sold their Connecticut estate in late 2024, the couple is ready to settle into a more peaceful life.

For Gere, this transition is about prioritizing family and serenity, leaving Hollywood behind to focus on a fulfilling life in Madrid centered around love, culture, and shared values.
