Amal Clooney Growing Frustrated with George's Theater Obsession, Eager to Return to Europe
Marital Strains Remain Unresolved for George and Amal Clooney, According to Reports
It's Broadway or bust for George Clooney, but his wife Amal is ready to call it quits in New York. The renowned actor's return to the stage in Good Night, and Good Luck might be earning him standing ovations, but off-stage, Amal allegedly feels increasingly overlooked by her husband's growing theater passion.
According to reports, Amal is feeling sidelined due to George's relentless pursuit of theater. "They can't keep avoiding the issues," a source disclosed to Radar Online. "Despite George trying his best to charm his way out of the predicament, the truth is they've been living separate lives for quite some time."
Sharing by Sharing? Not So Much
Since tying the knot in 2014, the Clooneys have primarily resided in their beautiful South of France chateau, Lake Como villa, and a countryside estate in England. But lately, the family has been based in Manhattan, where George has been starring in the Broadway adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck.
Amal has supposedly put her own career on hold to support George's theater dreams. However, "Now, George has caught the theater bug, and he's discussing staying in New York for another play, which drives Amal up the wall," the source revealed.
"That's not in her plans. She's already made sacrifices for him by moving to New York for his Broadway debut. She thinks one play is enough."
Europe-Bound Amal
The Clooney kids, 7-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, have been accompanying their parents in New York. But Amal is said to be eager to return to Europe. "George wants to stick around on the East Coast, where he's making new friends and making a splash," the insider added.
"But Amal also needs to handle her business in London and Europe, which she wants to focus on. The way she sees it, now is the time for George to focus on his life around her and the kids rather than his showbiz career."
