Alejandra attended an intimate dinner hosted by Suarez, where she shared her feelings about their move. “Spain is my home. Although I live in different places, I need to maintain that connection with my country,” she stated. This sentiment highlights the emotional roots she has in Spain.
The Decision to Leave Spain
Earlier this year, Silva mentioned in an interview that one of the reasons for relocating to Spain was to enjoy a moment of privacy. They intended for a lengthy stay but decided to return to the U.S. after one year. Silva described the experience as educational, emphasizing its impact on their family life.

“This isn’t a farewell; it’s just another stage in our journey,” Silva remarked, indicating that they still have ties to both countries.
Future Plans and Emotional Ties
Although currently settled in the U.S., Silva does not dismiss the possibility of returning to Spain in the future. “Spain will always be a point of return,” she affirmed. Her emotional connection to Spain is evident as she noted, “Every time I land, I inhale the air and feel the sun…”
Silva also expressed a desire to visit Spain frequently, stating that the country serves as a foundation for her sense of self. Additionally, neither Silva nor Gere has ruled out returning to live in Spain permanently.
Insights from Their Experience
The couple’s move took many by surprise, especially after rumors surfaced regarding their acquisition of a home in Galicia. Gere had previously sold his Connecticut home for $10.7 million in 2024, emphasizing Silva’s influence on their shared life decisions.
His commitment to their relationship is evident as he noted the importance of supporting Silva’s connection to her roots. “It’s been a considerable journey for both of us,” he added, reflecting on the unique experiences they have shared in different cultures.
