Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva put on a much-loved display on the cover of Elle Spain’s February issuewhen they started moving to Madrid with their family.
The 75-year-old actor’s 41-year-old wife is from Spain, and the couple previously discussed their intentions to move to the European country with their two sons, Alexander, five, and James, four.
Despite the 33-year age difference and the geographical distance that initially separated them, the couple is now ‘happier than ever’.
In the new interview, he opened up on the road, explaining, “This is our momentum. We are happier than ever. She because she is home and I because, if Alejandra is happy, I am too.’
“We are like soulmates,” said Alejandra, “we have the same values, we see the world the same way and from the first moment we feel like we have known each other for a long time.
“And this only happens once, if at all. We were united by the karma of our past lives.”

Giving insight into their family life, she added: ‘Richard is a very dedicated and present father. He loves to read stories to children.
‘It seems like an idyllic picture, but it’s true. He’s a great father. He doesn’t cook. I do that, but when I cook he plays the guitar.
She continued, “One of the things that united us most and made us fall deeply in love was our activist heart.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Richard said: ‘The new world will be built with and thanks to women. The Dalai Lama once told me that he inherited compassion and kindness not from his father, but from his mother.
‘Together they are extremely powerful. If you give money to a woman, she invests it and puts it at the service of the community and improves the entire village.’
The best couple looked as in love as ever in the new cover shoot, with Richard letting his wife take center stage as he stood behind her.
Alejandra looked stunning in plunging white shorts, complete with black trousers and a silver statement necklace in the shape of a snake.
In no time, she donned a gold strapless dress, with her choppy brunette locks in a straight hairstyle.
She opted for a glamorous make-up palette as she smiled at the camera as her husband nuzzled into her face, before turning to look him in the eyes.

Turning his attention to their Thanksgiving plans, he continued, “My wife grew up in a big Spanish family, like a big Italian family, and her grandmother was kind of the glue that held it all together.
