The Hollywood veteran is set to make his Broadway debut in 2025 with a stage adaptation of his critically acclaimed 2005 film, Good Night, and Good Luck. While this marks an exciting new chapter in George’s career, it also means he will be living across the Atlantic from his family for the duration of the show.

An insider told Life & Style, “George has never done Broadway before and he’s excited about the opportunity.”

“However, between rehearsals and performances, this means he will spend six months in NYC. Amal will remain in France, where their two children live – and there is no doubt that this will put their 10-year marriage to the test. “

This performance was drawn from their undying love for their 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella. In the past, Amal could have accompanied George for such a long period, but the couple have decided in the interests of the children that they will not change their schedule often. The children are now in school and it is impossible to move them from one school to another at any time.

To maintain their connection, the Clooneys “will stay in touch over FaceTime and text. George will be able to talk to the kids every night before bed, allowing for the time difference. And Amal might fly out for the occasional weekend visit.”

However, the separation is not without concern. Previous instances of living apart have reportedly taken a toll on their relationship. “It didn’t do the marriage much good,” the source told Life & Style. “So it’s a challenge to spend so much time apart.”

“George tells Amal and the twins that he’ll be home in no time at all,” the source added.
