Alejandra Gere has taken a step that very few would imagine for the children of a great Hollywood star. Instead of raising them among spotlights, premieres, and cameras, she has chosen to offer them a childhood away from the luxuries of show business.
The Spanish businesswoman and the American actor share a very clear vision about their children's education. Although they are financially secure, they firmly believe that this doesn't mean they should grow up surrounded by privileges.
That's why Alejandra has chosen an estate in the heart of Extremadura to establish a different routine for the little ones. It is Finca Casarejo, located near Navalmoral de la Mata, in the province of Cáceres.
The family has spent several days in this rural environment, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities. There, the children have received lessons about the local fauna, especially about birds, thanks to the help of experts working on the estate.
Alejandra Silva wants to protect her children
Alejandra has shown her gratitude to the ornithology specialist with sincere words. "Thank you, Ramón," she said publicly, sharing her gratitude after a day in which the little ones learned by observing life in freedom.
The estate is home to more than 150 species of birds, making it an ideal environment to foster a love for nature. Alejandra wants her children to grow up knowing how to value the essential and without feeling the pressure of carrying the surname of a world-famous actor.
The actor, who has been focused on his family life and humanitarian causes for years, has also opted for a more authentic upbringing. Both parents want their children to live real experiences, learn from their environment, and not be swept away by fame.
Since their marriage in 2018, Alejandra and Richard have kept a low profile, away from the spotlights. Although their love story has sparked much interest, they have always defended their privacy above all else. Now, with their children, they have made no exception: they protect them with the same determination.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva's children
The children, born in 2019 and 2020, are still young, but Alejandra has already started to build a conscious life for them. She wants them to value simple things, learn the value of work, and grow up being humble.
While many celebrity children grow up surrounded by assistants, social media, and cameras, the Gere children are learning to identify birds. They are getting to know the countryside, listening to animal stories, and living with their feet on the ground. It is a radically different childhood from what they could have had in Los Angeles or New York.
Alejandra has stated on several occasions that the most important thing is for her children to be good people. She is not interested in them being famous, rich, or admired, but in having a solid emotional foundation.
Navalmoral de la Mata has thus become a very special place for the family. It is not just a refuge, but an outdoor classroom where the children can learn without pressure. The estate is private, discreet, and perfectly adapted to offer them tranquility and real contact with nature.
Richard Gere and his wife's decision
This decision also has personal significance for Alejandra, who has always felt a strong connection to Spain. Raising her children in her country and showing them the roots of their culture is something that excites her deeply. Extremadura, with its rural beauty and slow pace, offers her exactly what she was looking for.
On the estate, the children not only learn about nature, but also develop practical skills. They plant, observe animals, ask questions, get dirty, and enjoy free time without technology. Rural life gives them room to grow without haste, with space to explore and without feeling watched.
Although it is not a definitive decision, Alejandra is clear that this lifestyle will be part of their education. They do not renounce their media environment, but they do not want that to be the only frame of reference. In their home, the priority is the balance between freedom and responsibility.
