When he starred in Hachiko, he was 60: how Richard Gere lives now and why the actor is moving to Madrid in his old age

Over the 55 years of his successful career, American actor Richard Gere has appeared in top-grossing films and become a favorite of audiences around the world. Having played key roles in many projects, including Pretty Woman, An Officer and a Gentleman, and the cult drama Hachiko, where he starred at the age of 60, he decided to change his life dramatically in his old age.

According to La Vanguardia, the actor decided to move from Connecticut (USA) to the capital of Spain - Madrid. The celebrity decided to make such a major change in his life for the sake of his wife Alejandra Silva.

The fact is that Richard Gere's beloved woman is a native of Spain. Due to the actor's work, she had been living in America for a long time, so in his old age, the Hachiko star decided to prove his love and change his place of residence.

He sold his estate in the United States for $10.75 million. There are two houses on the property, one of which is a three-bedroom cottage. In addition, there is a large swimming pool, several gardens, and a pond with a waterfall.

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva's new home is no less impressive. It is located in the wealthy residential area of Madrid - La Moraleja. The celebrity couple spent about two months on a complete renovation. They paid special attention to privacy, as a four-meter fence was erected around the estate, which is equipped with surveillance cameras controlled by security guards.

What we know about Richard Gere's chosen one

Alejandra María Silva García-Baquero is a Spanish publicist and politician. The couple first met in 2014, when Richard Gere stayed in one of the hotels of an elite resort. This vacation turned out to be fateful for the actor, because the owners of the establishment were the family of his future wife. An interesting coincidence is that at the time, both men and women were going through divorce proceedings with their former spouses.

In 2018, Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva tied the knot in a quiet and rather intimate ceremony in New York.
