Gere first shared their plan to move in April during an interview with Vanity Fair Spain.

“For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,” he told the paper. “She was very generous in giving me six years in my world, so it’s only fair that I give her at least six more in hers.”
