Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva have started a new family chapter by settling in Madrid, where they enjoy life with their children. The couple decided to move last fall to a luxurious residence in La Moraleja, one of the most exclusive and sought-after areas of Madrid.
There, they have established their home, leaving behind an iconic property that for years was their refuge and place of rest in the United States. This decision marks the end of an important chapter in their lives and the beginning of a new stage in Spain.
Major news about Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva confirmed
For several years, Gere and Silva owned a majestic estate in New Canaan, Connecticut, located less than 50 mi. (80 km) from New York. The residence, with a classic design and built in 1938, was spectacular.
It consisted of sixteen bedrooms, a living room of more than 1,600 sq. ft. (150 m²), eleven bathrooms, and up to five fireplaces. In addition, it featured spaces designed for family life, such as a library, a play area for the children, and a heated pool.
However, the connection with this property has come to an end. In 2024, the couple sold this house and now, according to People magazine, the estate's fate has taken an unexpected turn.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva's mansion is being sold in pieces
Currently, the estate is being demolished to make way for a new real estate project that includes the construction of nine independent residences on the site. This change means the disappearance of a home filled with memories and experiences for Gere and Silva.
Some of the furniture from the property is being put up for sale through digital platforms. Hudson Valley House Parts, a company specializing in the recovery and sale of pieces from historic homes, has highlighted the work of rescuing details.
"During the past month, our team has been working on site, saving many architectural elements," they explain. This demolition and renovation process marks a closure in the couple's American chapter, who now focus their attention on Spain.
The mansion in New Canaan, a symbol of their time in the United States, will give way to a modern project that will completely transform the landscape of this historic estate. Meanwhile, Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva continue to strengthen their life project in Madrid.
