After a few days of vacation in New York with their children, the couple has returned to Spain.

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva Reappear at the Barcelona International Film Festival

Since he began his relationship with Alejandra Silva more than a decade ago, Richard Gere has cultivated a life increasingly connected to Spain. Alejandra, a businesswoman and activist born in Galicia, became the driving force that transformed his life. Together they have formed a family with four children and, according to his words, the actor is now living one of the happiest stages of his life.

Their attendance at the Barcelona International Film Festival marks their most powerful media return since their definitive move to our country. The presentation of Wisdom and Happiness, a documentary he has produced about the Dalai Lama, was the perfect pretext to share his vision of the world... and of his life with Alejandra.

The couple arrived at the festival amid cheers, flashes, and a devoted crowd. Smiles, confidences, and a complicity that transcended the camera lenses were the calling card of Gere and Silva on the red carpet. There, the actor not only shared deep reflections but also moments of humor and affection toward his wife and Spain.

Gere recalled his first visit to the festival in 2017: "8 years? It feels like 3-4 years to me really…" he commented with laughter. But the contrast with that first edition was not only in the emotion of the reunion but also in the circumstances. The massive blackout that affected Spain that same Monday and surprised him just as he landed in Barcelona.

"When I arrived, everything was fine. I went to the airport and when I started to leave to get my car, they told me: 'Go back, you can't leave the airport'. I thought it was my fault…" he joked spontaneously.

In that same relaxed but committed tone, he shared his vision of the current world: "The world is in danger, but we can and should confront it. These are temporary things, but we must make them temporary, we can't forget who we are."

At this moment of reflection, Alejandra Silva intervened to tell her husband an anecdote about how people in Madrid acted during the blackout. She wanted to show him the reaction capacity and positive attitude of Spaniards in the face of an unexpected situation.

"Everyone was outside, they were dancing" Alejandra told him, showing the festive spirit even in adversity. "You should have seen the videos of the whole community, everyone in the streets, putting on a radio transmitter, listening to what was happening and dancing," she continued.

She emphasized that it was "everyone, young people, all generations," showing that this response was widespread. For Alejandra, that was "the lesson, to really, convey that to daily life. Please, turn off the lights," she exclaimed, with a touch of humor and a message about the importance of valuing the essential.

And Richard Gere, with a cheerful smile, confirmed his wife's words. "Look, I fell in love with this girl from Galicia! So I think I'll become a Spanish citizen someday!" he confirmed. A full-fledged declaration of love, both to his wife and to the country that saw her born.

The couple continued joking in front of the cameras, showing their dynamism. "But he loved it! Tell me the truth! Did you love it? Did you love the people? Did you love the country?" Alejandra asked Richard, making it clear that the love for Spain was prior.

Richard 'complained' with laughter that his wife: "She doesn't let me speak! I don't have to speak! I don't have to do anything! She does everything!" Alejandra, quickly, settled the matter in front of the cameras with another strong phrase: "Because I want them to know how much you love Spain!"

With this desired reappearance, Richard Gere has made it clear that his bond with Spain is neither fleeting nor superficial. His love for Alejandra Silva, his integration into Spanish life, and his commitment to its values paint the portrait of a man living his maturity with great enthusiasm. Could this be just the beginning of a new life as a full-fledged Spanish citizen?
