Richard Gere and Wife Alejandra Silva Honored at ELLE Eco Awards in Spain
Richard Gere, 75, and his wife Alejandra Silva, 41, graced the ELLE for Future 2024 event in Madrid on Wednesday, November 27, where they were recognized with the prestigious ELLE Eco Award 2024. The honor highlighted their environmental and social contributions through the Sierra A Mar Project and the Xala With Heart Foundation.
The couple radiated elegance and affection on the red carpet. Silva stunned in a black sweetheart gown adorned with delicate purple and blue floral embroidery, while Gere looked dapper in a classic black suit. Photographers captured sweet moments between the two, with Gere wrapping his arm around Silva and her gazing lovingly into his eyes.
During an interview with Elle Spain, Gere revealed the inspiration behind his admiration for Spain: “My wife,” he shared with a smile, adding, “The place is beautiful, but what truly stands out is the strong sense of community. People genuinely care about each other. That’s something I appreciate, especially as social bonds seem to weaken in other parts of the world.”
The actor, who recently announced plans to relocate to Spain with his family, also spoke about the decision during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on November 20. “My wife is Spanish and has given me seven wonderful years in the U.S., so it’s time for us to spend some years in Madrid with her family,” he explained. He shared how their bilingual children are excited to flourish in a culturally rich environment.
Gere reflected on Silva’s deep ties to her heritage and the legacy she hopes to carry on. “My wife grew up in a big Spanish family, much like an Italian one. Her grandmother was the heart of it all, and since her passing two years ago, Alejandra is naturally stepping into that role. She’s already planning Sunday lunches for 35 family members,” he shared fondly.
In addition to their personal milestones, Gere stars in The Agency, debuting on Paramount+ with Showtime on November 29. The couple’s move to Spain marks an exciting new chapter, blending family roots with their passion for impactful global initiatives.
