George and Amal Clooney, a high-profile couple known for their respective achievements in entertainment and human rights advocacy, are reportedly experiencing strains in their marriage due to extensive work commitments and separate living conditions. Married since 2014, the couple vowed never to spend more than one week apart but have found themselves frequently far from each other in recent years, particularly over the past couple of years.
George Clooney has spent around a year in New York City working on multiple projects. These include directing “The Boys in the Boat,” acting alongside Brad Pitt in “Wolfs,” and collaborating with Adam Sandler on an unnamed movie in Italy. Known for his roles both in front of and behind the camera, George sold his Casamigos tequila company for $1 billion back in 2017, further adding to the couple’s combined fortune of $600 million.
Meanwhile, Amal Clooney continues her impactful work as a human rights lawyer with recent projects evaluating suspected war crimes in Israel and Gaza — a four-month task culminating in a detailed report supporting arrest warrants. Typically based between London and The Hague, she also serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia University. The couple’s seven-year-old twins Alexander and Ella reside primarily at their $100 million Lake Como villa.
Despite their opulent lifestyle and star-studded appearances on red carpets together, reality tells a story of two professionals juggling 18-hour workdays often spent thousands of miles apart. They share moments that seem happy to public eyes but face unique challenges due to Amal’s security concerns tied to her international legal work and political views.
To mitigate these strains, George has deliberately chosen roles such as Broadway’s “Good Night, and Good Luck” that overlap geographically with Amal’s presence in New York City. This decision reflects an effort to synchronize their hectic schedules better amidst continuous travels associated with both careers.
Backgrounds: George Clooney emerged as a respected actor-director-producer from Hollywood whose business savvy extends into successful ventures like Casamigos Tequila. Amal Clooney is globally recognized for her contributions to international law regarding human rights issues.
