EXCLUSIVE: A relationship expert shared what George and Amal Clooney will need to consider should their separate schedules result in long distance, as he prepares to make his Broadway debut.
George and Amal Clooney will need to ensure that communication is key if the actor’s new Broadway role means time apart from each other, a relationship expert has warned.
From March 2025, 63-year-old George will take on his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, an adaptation of his 2005 journalism drama.
According to a source, the actor’s role in New York may mean spending periods of time apart from his wife Amal, 46, and their seven-year-old twins Alexander and Ella.
“Amal has got her hands full with her work as a human rights lawyer and the twins are in school,” the insider told New Idea Magazine.
“They won’t be able to drop everything and head over every other weekend, even with private jets at their disposal.
“George plans on flying back whenever his schedule allows, but it’s not going to be an easy time.”
The insider adds that there is also “some concern” about how the actor will cope if his Broadway debut doesn’t take off as well as he hoped, particularly as “Amal won’t be directly on hand to pick up the pieces.”
Chloé Moreau, a relationship expert at ExpertsEnRencontres, believes that while long-distance can be a challenge, the couple’s strong foundation will see them through if they prioritise communication.
“Distance, especially with young children, requires clear communication and a commitment to staying connected,” she warned.
“George and Amal’s ability to balance demanding careers with family life highlights their resilience and deep understanding of one another.”
Chloe further adds that “small but meaningful efforts” such as “regular check ins or consistent routines for their twins” will help them maintain a strong family bond.
“Time apart may even strengthen their appreciation for one another, reinforcing their relationship,” she added.
“As long as they prioritise open communication and family, this chapter could serve as a testament to their enduring partnership.”
Whether or not George’s role means time apart from each other, the couple have continuously showed support for each other during their 10-year marriage.
According to a previous source, the Clooneys leading separate lives professionally is one of the keys to their successful relationship.
“One of the big reasons Amal and George work so well together is because they’re independently successful and secure in their individual fields,” a source told Heat Magazine.
“They also have great nannies and their houses are like mini resorts.”
With this in mind, it seems that temporary long-distance won’t be a major issue for the pair.
Representatives for George and Amal didn’t respond when approached for comment.
