Richard Gere<\/a> is opening up about his life in Spain with wife, Alejandra Silva<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n While attending the DOC NYC Visionaries Tribute Luncheon at the city\u2019s Gotham Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 12, the 76-year-old actor exclusively told PEOPLE the best parts about his new home, and the thing he misses about his old one!\n<\/p>\n \u201cMy wife is so happy in Spain, so that’s the best part of that,\u201d he explains, adding, \u201cShe has wonderful family, wonderful friends.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cSpanish culture, there’s a very open joy about it,\u201d he continues, adding that the Spanish people are \u201cvery warm and very open and a lot less stressed than what you find here in the U.S.\u201d\n<\/p>\n The Pretty Woman<\/a> <\/em>star then went on to note that he also loves Spanish food and culture, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s a very happy place. Like the Italians. I mean, being in Italy, being in Spain, you’re dealing with Latin cultures that just understand life in a different way than we do here.\u201d\n<\/p>\n <\/span> But, of course, there are some things that Gere misses from his life in New York, namely the city\u2019s \u201cenergy.\u201d \u201cOf course, it’s very addictive,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n Back in January, the actor opened up to Spanish outlet Elle Espa\u00f1a<\/a> <\/em>about his relocation, saying that he had found new \u201c<\/em>fulfillment\u201d since moving to <\/a>Europe with his wife, 41, and their children, including their sons Alexander, 5, and James, 4, and Silva\u2019s son Albert, 11<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n “You are seeing us in our momentum. We are happier than ever,” Gere told the magazine. “[Alejandra], because she is at home and I because, if she is happy, I am happy.”\n<\/p>\n <\/span> The Agency<\/em> actor \u2014 who met Silva in Italy in 2014 after his divorce<\/a> from ex-wife Carey Lowell<\/a>, with whom he shares son Homer James, 25<\/a> \u2014 also shared that he and his wife\u2019s common interest in environmental projects bonds them.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n “We can all minimize this sense of ego, of the self. And that’s when true change occurs,\u201d he explained of their work, which includes collaborating on the Sierra a Mar project in Mexico.\n<\/p>\n \u201cMy wife shines for her open-mindedness and her genuine sense of gratitude,” he added. \u201cSo connecting with that, however you do it, whether you consider it spirit or religion, love or compassion … it’s infinite.”\n<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Silva told Elle Espa\u00f1a <\/em>that she and Gere \u2014 whom she met in Positano on the Amalfi Coast and married in 2018<\/a> \u2014 are \u201csoul mates.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cWe have the same values, we see the world in the same way, and from the first moment we felt like we have known each other for a long time. And this only happens once, if it happens at all … We were united by the karma of our past lives,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n NEED TO KNOW Richard Gere exclusively opened up to PEOPLE about his life in Spain with wife Alejandra Silva while attending the DOC NYC Visionaries Tribute Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 12 The star said that he loves “Spanish culture,” and the fact that the people are “very warm and open,” but he did admit to … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Richard-Gere-Shares-the-Best-Part-About-Living-in-Spain.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9829,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9827\/revisions\/9829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
