Family Life and Relocation
Gere and Silva’s relationship began in 2014 and they married in 2018. The couple has two sons together, Alexander and James. In 2024, they made the decision to relocate to Spain, aligning with Silva’s roots. Despite the move, the family plans to regularly visit the United States, maintaining a balance between both countries.
“For a few years [we’ll live in Spain], and then come back. But we’re always coming back,” Silva mentioned, emphasizing their intention to stay connected to both places.
New Adventures in Spain
Gere expressed his excitement about the move to Spain in a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair Spain, describing it as a fresh and thrilling adventure. The actor acknowledged the generosity of Silva in spending years in the United States and welcomed the opportunity for their children to experience a different culture.
“For me, going to Madrid is going to be a great adventure because I have never lived full time outside the United States,” Gere said.
Gere highlighted the benefits of Spain’s lifestyle, praising its culture and the joy of living there. He showed great enthusiasm for this chapter in their lives, expressing contentment with the decision.
Long-Term Connection with New York
Gere’s long-standing connection with New York City remains strong, having lived there since his early 20s. He acknowledged the city’s influence on him, describing it as deeply ingrained in his life.
“New York gets in your blood. It’s very hard to remove that,” he told Fox News Digital. However, he is also embracing the chance for his wife and children to be closer to Silva’s family and culture in Spain.
