Renowned actor Richard Gere is embarking on a new chapter, relocating to Spain with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their two sons. Gere shared with Fox News Digital that the move prioritizes his wife's connection to her Spanish heritage and offers enriching cultural immersion for their children. "It's fantastic to not just visit, but truly live and breathe another culture," Gere remarked.

Silva, a Spanish activist, and Gere have been married for five years. Their connection, as Silva described to Hola! in 2015, was an instant "karmic attraction." The couple's two children, along with Gere's son Homer from a previous marriage, will now experience life in Spain after primarily residing in New York City, Gere's home for the past five decades.

While acknowledging the deep roots he has in New York, Gere expressed his fondness for Spain, particularly Madrid. He anticipates missing his family and friends in the U.S., but recognizes the transformative impact of experiencing new environments.

Coinciding with this personal transition, Gere is also taking on an international role in the upcoming Paramount+ with Showtime series, "The Agency." Premiering November 29th, the spy thriller, adapted from the French drama "Le Bureau des Legendes," features Gere as Bosko, the CIA's London Station chief. He acts as a mentor figure to Michael Fassbender's character, a covert agent grappling with a rekindled romance that jeopardizes his mission.

Gere revealed that he hadn't actively sought the role but was approached by the producers, who had him in mind during the development process. Interestingly, the original French series was a shared viewing experience for Gere and his wife. Filming for "The Agency" takes place in London, conveniently close to Madrid, where Gere and his family are currently based.

Gere's recent appearance on the "Today" show sparked a minor controversy when he inadvertently displayed his middle finger on live television. He clarified that the gesture was unintentional, mirroring an action from the show's clip that had just aired, and emphasized its innocent nature.
