Actor and wife living “separate lives”

According to a disturbing new report, the romantic clock may be ticking for one of Hollywood's most beloved couples.

Yes, we're looking at you, George Clooney and Amal Clooney.

But we really wish that wasn't the case.

Via In toucha source says the Oscar winner and his extremely intelligent wife just don't see each other very often these days.

“They're both real workaholics, so it's like they're in their own little bubble. They live in two very different worlds 90 percent of the day. They lead separate lives,” he said. insider tells tabloidnoting that at least the spouses seem to be aware of their problems.

The couple reportedly hoped the situation would improve when George moved to New York to star in a Broadway show.

Amal is also often in the Big Apple due to her work as an assistant professor at Columbia University. Alas, life in Manhattan proved no more conducive to a healthy marriage.

Now, George and Amal are preparing for their longest separation yet. According to a new report from Life and stylehe will spend the next six months in Manhattan, performing in Good night and good luckwhile she stays home with their children.

“George has never performed on Broadway before and he is excited about the opportunity, but between rehearsals and performances it means he will spend six months in New York,” a source told the outlet.

“Amal will remain in France, where their two children are based – and there is no denying that this will put a test on their ten-year marriage.”

The source says past long separations “haven't helped the marriage much,” but George and Amal have developed a strategy for coping with the long-distance arrangement.

“George will be able to talk to the children every evening before bed, taking into account the time difference. And Amal might be able to fly out for an occasional visit on the weekend,” says the insider.

This isn't the first time we've written about the problems in the Clooneys' marital paradise.

There was a rumor in 2020 that the couple was separated and heading toward a divorce, but nothing came of it.

The latest reports refrain from dropping the D-word, instead focusing on two people who are very successful in their fields…and the detrimental consequences that can have on a relationship.

“George runs his film business – from directing and producing to playing roles in other people’s projects – like a military general.” In touch explains, detailing how Clooney made a film (The boys in the boat), has made two films (one with Brad Pitt and one with Adam Sandler) and has produced numerous projects in recent years.

Amal, for her part, is a human rights lawyer.

She “often travels back and forth for work, which can get chaotic,” says this source, noting that Amal spends a lot of time in London working with clients or in the Netherlands, where the Criminal Court is located. international.

Adds the magazine:

“She does so many things around the world that most people don’t even know about. Her career will never take a back seat to George's, and she made that clear to him early on.

When they're not traveling for work, George, Amal and their seven-year-old twins spend time with family at Clooney's famous Lake Como villa.

It's an absolutely beautiful place. But there's a production facility inside the mansion where Clooney frequently works, leaving him little downtime to really connect with him and his wife.

Adding to the stress is the fact that the Clooneys have become influential in the political world. During the 2024 US presidential election, George called on Joe Biden not to run again.

And he may have been instrumental in the sitting president's decision to step down.

Shortly after, rumors swirled that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were devastated at being “snubbed” by the Clooneys. This kind of influence can have harmful consequences on a couple.

“They look like the picture of red carpet happiness, and sure, they always talk about each other in public, but friends wonder if they'll make it,” the source continues. “A lot of Hollywood couples don’t do it.”

Damn, a lot of couples period not.

Due to the ages of their children, as well as Clooney's wealth (he sold his company Casamigos Tequila for $1 billion in 2017), divorcing would be a “nightmare,” this report concludes.

Let's all hope it never comes to that.
