George and Amal Clooney prepare for a prolonged separation as George begins his Broadway debut in Good night and good luck. The couple, who have been married for 10 years, recently enjoyed a casual dinner in Saint-Tropez on Dec. 14, holding hands as they strolled near their home in Brignoles, France.
The six-month stay will take George, 63, across the Atlantic to New York for rehearsals and performances, leaving Amal, 46, and their 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, in their 425-acre French estate. “George is excited about the opportunity, but it’s a big adjustment for their family,” a source said. Life and style.
Unlike the beginning of their relationship, Amal and the children will not join George in the United States. “Kids are at an age where uprooting them from school is not an option,” George said in a recent interview. The family cherishes the anonymity offered by their rural French community, where they can enjoy privacy away from the paparazzi. “We don’t want to have pictures of our children there,” George added.
The Clooneys are committed to working remotely, scheduling regular FaceTime calls and late-night chats before bed. Amal can visit George on some weekends to bridge the gap. However, insiders acknowledge the potential strain: “Long separations in the past haven’t always been easy on their marriage, so this will be a real test.”
George, who performs eight shows a week, insists it will be a one-off engagement. “It’s six months of my life in New York, but after that I dedicate my time to my family,” he said, noting his love for driving the kids to school and spending quality time with Amal.
The couple’s strong bond and commitment to family remains at the forefront. “George assures Amal and the twins that he will be back before they know it,” the source shared, confident that their relationship can overcome the temporary distance.
