Famous actor Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva have unexpectedly ended their Spanish chapter, leaving their mansion in the prestigious La Moraleja area near Madrid. The house, valued at 3.5 million euros, now stands empty — the couple decided to return to the United States before completing their planned stay in Spain.
Over the past year, Gere was actively involved in the country’s cultural scene, attending social events and seemingly fully adjusting to his new environment. He was often spotted at various awards ceremonies and fashion events, with their home regularly hosting numerous guests. Alejandra, a native of Spain, enjoyed welcoming friends and relatives, organizing large Sunday lunches.
Despite the couple recently purchasing another property — a luxurious home on the coast of Galicia valued at around 10 million euros — their plans changed abruptly. The purchase of a second residence seemed to confirm their serious intentions to stay in the country for the long term, but circumstances turned out differently. Now, the couple has settled back in the US, where they have spent most of their life together.
Previously, Gere had emphasized his wish to spend several years in Spain for his wife, so she could be closer to her family and native culture. However, reality made its own adjustments: despite all efforts, adapting proved more difficult than expected. As a result, the decision to return was made quickly, and now their Spanish homes remain unoccupied.
Fans of the couple are speculating about the reasons for such a sudden move—perhaps family circumstances or the actor’s professional commitments played a role. In any case, their Spanish chapter ended earlier than planned, leaving behind memories of an eventful year filled with meetings, new experiences, and significant real estate investments.
