George and Amal Clooney, one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, are reportedly facing some challenges as they approach their 11th wedding anniversary. With George, 63, currently tied up with his Broadway debut in New York and Amal, 46, primarily based in Europe for her work as a human rights lawyer, their busy schedules have created a strain on their relationship.
Despite their efforts to stay connected through virtual date nights on Zoom, insiders suggest it might not be enough to bridge the physical distance. “They’re trying to work at it and telling friends they are as strong as ever, but the one thing they are not lavishing on one another is time,” shared a source close to the couple.
The Clooneys, who are parents to seven-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, have always lived a jet-setting lifestyle, splitting their time between luxurious homes in Lake Como, France, the UK, Los Angeles, and Mexico. However, with their children now in school full-time in France, their movements are more restricted.
This has left Amal managing the family’s day-to-day life while George focuses on his Broadway play, Good Night, and Good Luck. A friend revealed that Amal is concerned about the impact of their separation, saying, “Amal wants little disruption to their routines right now. So there’s no choice-if George wants to do this play, they’re going to have to deal with a long-distance relationship.”

Despite their attempts to keep their bond strong-including rekindling their connection last year and prioritizing quality time-insiders hint that cracks are beginning to show. Virtual dates have become a regular part of their routine, but a source noted, “It is not the same as having the person in the same room. It is all show.”
Even their recent vacation in St. Tropez seemed tense, with photographers capturing moments where the couple appeared distant. An onlooker commented, “Neither of them looked happy. As soon as they realized they were being photographed, he reached for her, but it did look like they’d had some kind of issue between them.”
As George remains committed to his Broadway project, Amal is left juggling her demanding career with her responsibilities as a mother. The couple’s ability to navigate this challenging phase of their marriage remains uncertain, but for now, they’re doing their best to keep things afloat. Whether their love can withstand the distance and busy schedules is a question only time will answer.
