Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva are experiencing one of the most talked-about moments in their personal lives. After months of rumors about their permanent move to Spain, the couple has taken an unexpected step back. This week, the couple surprised everyone by confirming that their plans have changed and what seemed imminent is now on hold.
The news is striking because, in recent months, everything indicated that Gere and Silva would solidify their life in Madrid. However, something has led the actor and his wife to reconsider their moves. What has happened for them to stop what seemed like a clear future in Spain?

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva make a U-turn in their move to Spain
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva’s return to Spain was almost a given. Since settling in the La Moraleja development, the couple had planned for their children to start the school year at the exclusive Brewster school. However, the school confirmed that the children did not attend classes.
This detail, seemingly anecdotal, reveals the real change of course. Against all odds, the couple has put their move to our country on hold, setting aside the preparations that had been underway for months. According to El Español, they have decided to stay in the United States for a longer period.
In recent months, there had even been talk of buying the historic Casa Cervigón in A Coruña, valued at €10 million. Although the deal was denied, the rumor reinforced the idea that Gere and Silva were looking to put down roots in Galicia, near Alejandra’s family.

This halt comes after an intense year for the couple in Spain, where they not only enjoyed their life in La Moraleja but also attended events. Among them were the presentation of the International Goya to the actor and their visit to the Inditex headquarters in Arteixo, A Coruña. Their media presence fueled the idea of a couple increasingly settled in the country, something that is now postponed indefinitely.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva will stay in the United States for a while
Despite this pause, everything suggests that Gere and Silva’s decision is temporary. According to the aforementioned outlet, the couple “will stay there a while longer,” which means they keep the intention of returning to Spain soon. In fact, Richard Gere once stated that his plan was to live in our country for six years.
The reasons for this pause have not been publicly clarified, but the circumstances seem clear. On one hand, the couple keeps strong ties in the United States. Lifelong friends live there, as does Homer Gere, the actor’s eldest son, who currently lives in New York after graduating from Brown University.
In addition, Gere is involved in the Xala project, a sustainable residential complex on the Mexican Pacific coast, which he has been developing for seven years. This business and personal commitment explains part of the extended stay in America.

During the past few months, they have also enjoyed a family summer in places like Connecticut, where Gere lived before moving to Europe. Alejandra Silva even shared a photo in August in the garden of one of the actor’s residences in the United States. This gesture confirmed that, for now, the family remains settled there.
However, the decision doesn’t imply a definitive change of course. Gere and Silva keep a house in La Moraleja and continue to look to Galicia as a reference point for the future. Their bond with Spain remains intact, and the couple has already made it clear that returning is only a matter of time.
