Goodbye to Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva? The couple's worrying decision

The actor and the publicist are going through a period of changes that has surprised their followers and raised many questions

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva's life between the United States and Spain has always sparked interest, especially since they decided to settle in Madrid with their children. The mansion in La Moraleja and their active social life fueled the idea of a stable future in our country.

In recent months, both their followers and the media have closely followed their movements. The couple, very active in the cultural and social scene, have been seen at various public events. Now, a new turn in their daily life has drawn attention and caused all kinds of comments.

A life between Madrid and international projects

When Gere and Silva decided to move to Madrid, they did so seeking peace and new horizons. The American actor, 76 years old, seemed to distance himself from the political pressure of his country to focus on a more serene life. The Galician businesswoman also found in Spain the ideal environment to raise her children.

During their time in the capital, the couple enjoyed everyday activities such as going to the San Ginés chocolate shop. Their plans with friends like Antonio Banderas reinforced the image of a marriage integrated into Spanish cultural life. Everything indicated that their relationship with Madrid was becoming stronger.

However, frequent trips to the United States intensified over the past year. In part, for family reasons related to Homer, Gere's eldest son, but also for work reasons. What seemed like a temporary stay ended up becoming a prolonged presence on the other side of the Atlantic.

The decision that worries their followers

The couple have confirmed that, for now, they won't return to Spain. This decision has surprised those who expected to see them resume their life in La Moraleja after the holidays. The main reason would be related to the couple's latest professional project: the documentary Wisdom of Happiness.

Richard Gere is executive producer and the face of the documentary, in which the Dalai Lama shares advice for facing the challenges of the 21st century. Alejandra Silva, deeply involved in the promotion, has shared on social media the excitement of this work. For both, this is a vital project with a message of universal reach.

The international promotion of the documentary is the reason that keeps the couple in the United States and Canada. The premiere scheduled for October has changed all their family and work plans. This decision means that their desired return to Spain will have to wait longer than initially planned.

A future marked by uncertainty

Although they keep their residence in Madrid, there is no confirmed date for the family's return. The promotion of the film and professional commitments suggest that they will spend the coming months living in North America. This situation has caused speculation about whether Spain will continue to be their main base in the future.

Alejandra Silva has insisted that the goal is "to turn happiness into a universal language," a phrase that reflects the personal importance of the project. Her words suggest that the couple are willing to travel the world to bring their message to different countries. This dedication reinforces the idea that their absence from Spain will be longer than expected.

Meanwhile, their Spanish followers wonder if they will see Gere and Silva again enjoying the everyday plans that made them so relatable. For now, the answer is uncertain. The only clear thing is that their life is now more than ever tied to the international commitments that define their present.
