Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra have returned to Spain after several international appearances in recent months, with the pair looking as loved-up as ever at the premiere of their short documentary, What Nobody Wants to See (Lo Que Nadie Quiere Ver).
The duo graced the red carpet in Madrid on Monday night in matching outfits, with Richard sporting a navy blue suit with a white button-up shirt and black sneakers, while Alejandra wore a tailored black suit of her own, paired with black heels and dark lipstick.

Richard and Alejandra’s last public appearance together was at the Wisdom of Happiness premiere in New York in October, and before that, they were pictured in Italy at Milan Fashion Week.
Their documentary addresses the issue of homelessness in Spain, and sees the couple speak with homeless people in Madrid to shine a light on their troubles. Both the actor and the Spaniard are passionate about activism, and they share the goal of ending homelessness in her home country.

“The only reason why both Richard and I are here in Madrid is to be part of the board of the NGO Hogar Sí,” Alejandra explained to Elle España. “We want to help this country to end homelessness. Our goal is that, within five years, no one sleeps on the street.”
Richard, 76, had a taste of what homeless people experience in their day-to-day lives when he posed as one in 2014 while filming his documentary-style film Time Out of Mind. He portrayed a man struggling with his mental health, who was forced to beg on the streets of New York.

“People are afraid of being sucked into a black hole of failure and misery. But then it touches something deep in all of us. None of us are that secure that it couldn’t be us also.”

They relocated to Spain in 2024, citing Alejandra’s desire to be closer to her extended family. “The truth is that you are seeing us in our momentum,” Richard told Elle España in January, following their big move. “We are happier than ever.”

We have the same values, we see the world in the same way, and from the first moment we felt like we have known each other for a long time. And this only happens once, if it happens at all.”
