Richard Gere recently said farewell to a piece of his life in the U.S., six months after first revealing his desire to relocate to Spain.
The Pretty Woman actor, 75, sold his $11 million New Canaan, Conn., home in October, property records confirm, marking another milestone in his transition to spending more time outside America.
