Breaking news: The reason why Richard Gere and his children can't return to Madrid

The reasons why actor Richard Gere and his family have decided to delay their return to Madrid have come to light

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva continue to capture international attention with their constant changes in travel and professional projects. Just over a year ago, they surprised everyone by moving to Madrid, where they planned to establish their family life

The couple divide their time between the United States and Mexico, a lifestyle that allows them to attend to both work and family commitments. Despite their desire to settle in Madrid, their immediate future seems conditioned by personal factors. The current situation forces them to remain in North America longer than expected.

Between commitments and changes in family plans

During the summer months, Richard and Alejandra enjoyed long stays in Mexico and the United States with their young children. There, they have found a balance that allows them to combine leisure with work in an environment they know well. The family feels comfortable and safe, which makes it difficult to speed up their return to Europe.

One of the decisive factors has been Homer, Richard Gere's eldest son, who still lives in the United States. The actor keeps a very close bond with him, which turns the distance into an emotional obstacle. His presence there forces the actor to keep traveling constantly so he doesn't lose closeness.

Close friends of the couple confirm that the desire to return to Madrid is still alive. However, their priority is to keep the family united at a key moment. For that reason, they would have decided to postpone any permanent move to Europe, at least for the next few months.

Richard Gere puts his return to Spain on hold

The postponement of their return to Madrid also responds to professional matters. Richard Gere is fully involved in promoting Wisdom of Happiness. This documentary about the Dalai Lama is one of the most personal projects of his recent career.

The actor's involvement in this production requires his frequent presence in the United States. The schedule of international presentations prevents him from moving now. Added to this are Alejandra Silva's commitments, as she continues to develop social initiatives.

According to American media, the couple would have considered the possibility of establishing a temporary home in North America. There, they find better opportunities to combine work and family. This change of plans forces them to delay their return to Spain indefinitely.

An open future between two continents

The couple haven't given up on the idea of living in Madrid permanently, but the current situation sets an uncertain course. The Spanish capital remains a very dear destination for them. However, the reality of their commitments keeps them away from that possibility.

Those close to them confirm that Richard Gere remains deeply connected to Spain. The couple keep contacts and projects in Madrid that they hope to resume. Nevertheless, family priorities weigh more at this moment than any long-term plan.

The immediate future of Gere and Alejandra seems to be divided between two continents. In the United States, they keep strong family and work ties. In Spain, they keep the hope of returning when personal and professional circumstances allow it.
