 After years of living in New York City with Gere, the couple decided to move to Spain, where Alejandra is from, and raise their children there.

"I'm with my family... I missed them a lot. But I miss the U.S. So we come back and forth," she told the outlet.

Gere first talked about their imminent move to Spain last spring. 

"For me, going to Madrid is going to be a great adventure because I have never lived full time outside the United States," the 75-year-old told You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. 

"And I think it will also be very interesting for my children. For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture. She was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so I think it's fair that I give her at least six others living in hers. In any case, I love Spain and I think your lifestyle is fabulous. Also, your ability to live, transmitting joy and happiness. It is a beautiful place, the food is extraordinary and people exude sensitivity and generosity, as well as a strong will to laugh and enjoy. So I'm looking forward to going there."

"New York gets in your blood. It's very hard to remove that. It infects your DNA. But I love Spain too. I love Madrid. And it's time for my wife to be around her family and friends and culture," he said. "And good for our kids. I think it's great to be living — not just visiting — but living in another culture." 

Gere told You are not allowed to view links. Register or Loginin November that he thought his kids would "flourish" in the country. 

"My kids are bilingual, so they're going to flourish there," he said on "The Tonight Show."

He said they would be spending Thanksgiving in Spain, and later that month Silva shared a photo on Instagram of their sons Alexander and James decorating their Christmas tree, with the caption, "this year finally, Christmas in Spain!"

"My wife, she grew up in a very big Spanish family," Gere told Fallon. "And her grandmother was kind of the glue that held all of that together. And the grandmother passed away. It was about a year and a half ago, two years ago. So, my wife, I can see her morphing into the new grandmother of this extended family. So, she's already planning for 35 people for Sunday lunches."
