At the end of November, Silva shared a sweetsnap on Instagramfrom the family’s home in Spain as the couple’s little oneshelped to set up some Christmas decor. While one child hung ornaments on their large, lit-up Christmas tree, the other unpacked boxes of Santa statues and seasonal knick-knacks.

“As James says, mom, mom, today is the first day of Christmas! How I like their energy, their innocence ♥️ , this year finally, Christmas in Spain! #merrychristmas #feliznavidad,” the proud mom captioned her post, translated from Spanish to English.

This past April, Gere toldVanity FairSpainthat heplanned to move to Silva’s home country of Spainto allow her to be closer to her relatives.

“For Alejandra, it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,” he said of his wife. “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 actor posed proudly in between his wife and son at The Museum of Modern Art, wearing a classic black suit and white shirt which he left unbuttoned at the top.

The actor’s son matched his dad in a similar ensemble, while Silva stunned in a glittering gold pleated skirt, which she paired with a matching crochet-style top. The Spanish publicist wore her hair in loose curls and completed the glam get-up with some smoky eye makeup, a nude lip and statement earrings.
