Richard Gere Sells His Connecticut Mansion, Is Leaving The United States!


At least one “celebrity” is making good on his promise to flee the United States after a Trump win this week….

Richard Gere has reportedly sold his mansion in Connecticut for nearly $11 million and plans to move to Spain.

Here he is literally on a boat bringing more migrants into the USA:

People Magazine had more details:

Richard Gere has sold his Connecticut home for $10.75 million after revealing his plans to relocate to Spain.

PEOPLE’s 1999 Sexiest Man Alive, 75, bought his house in the town of New Canaan in 2022 for $10.8 million — $50,000 more than what he sold it for — from Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, according to local outlet the New Canaan Advertiser.

The singer-songwriter couple had also sold at a significant loss, having paid $16.5 million for it 17 years earlier, per the outlet.

Gere lived in the home with his wife, Alejandra Silva, for two years and reportedly wanted to turn the property into a farm at one point. The 1938 house has six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a pool, multiple gardens and a three-bedroom guest cottage. The property encompasses 32 acres and features “period details” throughout, according to a previous listing with Sothebys.

However, the actor recently opened up about his wishes to move abroad.

Since they married in 2018, Gere and Silva have lived in the United States, but he shared in an April 2024 interview with Vanity Fair Spain that he wanted to spend more time in his wife’s native Spain, and allow her to be closer to her relatives.

Gere endorsed Kamala Harris for President….

It didn’t work.

Watch here:

Here are more details, from The Independent:

Richard Gere has sold his home in New Canaan, Connecticut, for $10.75m after he announced his desire to move to Spain.

The 75-year-old Pretty Woman star originally purchased the home in 2022 for $10.8m, where he has lived with his wife Alejandra Silva and their two children. According to the New Canaan Advertiser, Gere bought the six-bedroom abode from Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, who owned it for 17 years.

The home, built in 1938, boasts 11 bathrooms, a three-bedroom guest cottage, a pool, and several gardens spread throughout the 32-acre property situated amongst thick trees.

Back in April, the Runaway Bride actor opened up about wanting to leave the US and start a life with Silva in Spain, so she could spend more time with her relatives. Silva, 41, is originally from La Coruña, Spain, though she’s spent considerable time with Gere in the states since their 2018 wedding.

“For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,” Gere told Vanity Fair Spain at the time. “She was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so it is only fair that I give her at least another six living in hers.”

The couple are planning to bring their two children – Alexander, five, and James, four – with them abroad. While the American Gigolo actor is excited for this “great adventure,” he’s supposedly still keeping his country home in New York.

Gere met Silva in Positano, Italy, in 2014, when he was still married to his second wife, Carey Lowell – with whom he shares 24-year-old son Homer. Before Lowell, the Hollywood star was married to supermodel Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995.

And speaking of Richard Gere, he did NOT once reportedly shove a gerbil up his….”rectum”.

So don’t bring that garbage around here.

Totally debunked and definitely not true at all:
