Richard Gere and his family are moving from their longtime New York home to Spain, expressing a wish to experience a different culture.
In an unexpected choice for his many fans, renowned actor Richard Gere has announced that he and his family are preparing to leave their beloved New York City home.
This decision is driven by Gere’s desire to immerse himself in a new culture and strengthen his bond with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and her family.
Gere explained to Fox News Digital that it’s important for his wife to be with her family, friends, and culture. This decision is also wonderful for our children’s growth and experiences.
In my view, fully immersing oneself in a different culture, rather than just visiting, is incredibly enriching.
The 75-year-old “Pretty Woman” actress has spent over half a century residing in the Big Apple, but it seems the draw of Alejandra’s Spanish background is too much to resist.
In addition to Gere’s son, Homer, from a previous marriage, the couple has two children together, Alexander and James.
Coming from a background in activism in Spain, Alejandra crossed paths with Gere several years before they became a couple. In 2015, Alejandra told Hola! that the couple’s significant age difference immediately attracted their karma.
While fate may impact their relationship, it’s crucial to consider the complexities that arise when one partner is significantly older and more established in their career than the other.
Moreover, the influence of cultural background and common interests can play a significant role in drawing people together.
As Gere gets ready to depart from the city that has been his home for a long time, he acknowledges that he will miss his family and friends. However, the actor is also eager to admire the beauty of Spain, a country he has grown fond of over the years.
Gere will star in the upcoming espionage thriller “The Agency” on Paramount+ and Showtime, which draws inspiration from the French drama “Le Bureau des Legendes.” This marks the start of his international career.
In the show, Gere plays Bosko, the head of the London Station’s CIA, who is Michael Fassbender’s main character’s boss.
Before their permanent move, working on the series has allowed Gere and his family to spend time in Madrid. “It’s really easy, and I love London,” Gere stated, referencing his early professional origins in the West End theatrical culture of London.
Gere maintains that his gesture with his middle finger was innocent and merely a spontaneous reaction to the moment he had just filmed. Despite unintentionally revealing it on live TV, his enthusiasm for “The Agency” sparked a minor controversy.
Moving overseas offers the Gere family a chance to embrace a new culture and gain fresh perspectives as they begin a new phase in their lives.
The famous actor is making big changes in his personal and professional life to ensure his family experiences a diverse global lifestyle.
