This is one of the stupidest tabloid stories of the week, but the gossip is running dry and we need something fun/silly. This story involves George Clooney, otherwise known as America’s Bachelor-Turned-Husband-of-the-Year, and his runaway bride Amal. Two weekends ago, Amal finally ended her lengthy winter holiday on the west coast and flew out to France, where she appeared at a human rights court. It was big news and the paparazzi were there, of course. Since then, we haven’t heard much about Amal. Sources told Life & Style that Amal went back to London and that she’ll probably be there until March. George is probably going to be LA this month, so it’s a scandal because a married couple is spending five weeks apart!!
According to Life & Style, the newlyweds are on their own and happy about it. George is filming a movie in Los Angeles while Amal is working out of London, and “the couple actually welcomed the break,” alleges the tabloid. A so-called “insider” tells the magazine, “They’re really happy right now being on their own.”
That’s because the Clooneys “sure weren’t happy together.” The outlet claims they’ve been fighting about whether to start a family, and that George’s close friends are allegedly fed up with Amal’s seriousness and hoping “the distance is the first step on the road to divorce.”
Have we gotten to a “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” point in this Alamooney gossip yet? For what it’s worth, Gossip Cop also has a “source close to the situation” who denies this story by saying George and Amal are “incredibly happy.” Which isn’t a denial that they’re spending five weeks (or more) apart and that they were actually eager to take a break from each other. Because they got married too quickly and possibly for the wrong reasons and they don’t really know each other that well?
Now, all that being said, of course it’s no big deal when a couple spends time apart. I’m side-eyeing it because they’ve literally only been married less than five months and it’s a little bit funny that they ALREADY need a break from each other, but whatever. They’re adults and they both have jobs. I’m sure all of this was covered in the contract.

But who will get custody of Bill Murray in the divorce?
Amal better not overreach and claim Clooney’s house is unsafe for Murray because of all the open bottles of tequilla laying around.
Snort hilarious
Maybe they are finding out they don’t even like each other? Amal and George barely knew each other.
Also he left right after the wedding/honeymoon and went back to LA.
They looked disconnected on the red carpet at the Golden Globe awards.
…or maybe this story is complete BS (which is how it sounds).
Epic fail once again, Celebitchy.
Who knows if they need a break? I love you Kaiser but you are always questioning if and when Amal is working. Well she’s working let’s give her a standing O.
And if George is shooting a film and not drinking tequila with Randy Gerber in Cabo for 5 weeks there is no problem.
Yeah, I agree… I think it’s the American showing in some people when they claim she must be bad at her job etc cause she has lots of free time. For a lot of people in Europe, it’s not a sign of being successful when you live at your workplace. Success is when you have lots of free time but still make a ton of money for the little work you do.
Btw, I know a lawyer from South America who spend over 6 months travelling the world, working on his computer so it’s doable.
*spent
“They’re adults and they both have jobs.” ………….and what exactly does George do when he’s not in a set trailer?
Amal has been trying to get a Canadian journalist out of an Egyptian prison

She cool. 🙂
I guess George has been hanging around the house moping
Even in the best of marriages you need a break. My parents have taken many vacations apart withtheir buddies. Probably a key to why they’re happy. I also have my in laws who are so co-dependent that they do everything together , I mean EVERYTHING! !!!
Thankfully, I have someone who equally needs their own time just like me. I would go mental if I had a partner who was needy.
They haven’t even been married six months. Taking a break from each other already may not bode well.
They seem like the most mismatched couple, ever since I saw the pictures of Amal looking PISSED on the way to one of their receptions, I knew they were doomed.
George is a man child with an immature sense of humor, Amal is an accomplished professional and a real adult who will tire of his antics quickly. Let’s hope she doesn’t get pregnant before this implodes, which it will, very quickly.
She isn’t a ‘real adult’ as far as im concerned – she is more thirsty for camera than he is and she wears diamond encrusted skull t shirts in her late 30’s….
What’s wrong with skull tshirts in the late 30’s?
I would say she’s mid-30s and that’s her style, a not untypical London style. It is no indicator of her level of maturity. Advocating on behalf of clients at international courts is clearly an activity fit for a child.
Well, you can’t have it both ways. If he’s an immature manchild (and I’m not saying he’s not), then why would an intelligent, accomplished, real adult even considering marrying him, let alone actually marrying him? His manchildishness was out there for all to see so surely any intelligent woman would avoid him like the plague?
I suspect, despite surface appearances, they have quite a lot in common.
Amal to me seems very immature as well. A high education, and a well-paid job doesn’t mean anything regarding maturity. She might have some professional experience- but life-wise…hmmm.
The hello-kitty attire pre-marriage was telling…. Lol
Maybe neither are really mature.
Aaannnd, here comes the Clooney PR machine; quelle surprise! Before the end of the day, stories in People and the Daily Mail. HAHAHAHA.

Not specific to these two, but I can never quite figure out how Hollywood marriages like this work day-to-day. I would miss my husband so much if we didn’t live together every day, and I would find it completely weird if I was staying at “his house” in another country. Would I get a say in bathroom decor if I didn’t like it? How do they get to know what they like in each other’s coffee? We also have five cats, and when one of us is home sick let’s say, the other is getting cat pictures every five minutes. I can’t imagine living in Britain while my husband had our cats in California.
So cozy, Hawkeye!
I knew we were meant to be when he took my side over his mother’s when we discovered a skunk nest under her shed and I convinced her to leave them food scraps.
OMG! Hawkeye, I totally relate to you. We have 2 Maine Coons, 2 Ragdolls and 2 American Domestic cats and a Great Dane. We LOVE them. My husband takes pics of our cats from upstairs bedrooms and sends it to my phone when I am downstairs all the time! We have more pics of cats than our own 2 kids. Haha…
I mean it’s doable. My husband is in the army and about 5 months after we married he went on an overseas deployment for three months. If it’s something you expect you can deal with it quite easily, though if it becomes something you look forward to then you may have problems.
P.S. I sent him about a million pictures a day of our cat lol.
Her career is in Europe and his is in California. I think they assumed they would be apart sometimes. Living-together-apart isn’t really a new thing.
I want to know more about the ‘fighting about whether to start a family’ bit. Is Amal demanding a baby or is Clooney demanding one? I need this information before I can decide if the end is nigh.
And when the time comes… get out the turkey baster (and keep those bovine insemination gloves handy)! You cannot convince me that these two will ever share “conjugal bliss.”
I’m not convinced these two share intimate time together either.
I still think George is closeted.
I don’t really get the big deal. Both work and were probably aware that they have jobs that would keep them apart at times.
I think George is the type of guy, that only like his women when he needs them for something…a red carpet event, a party, etc. He wants the illusion of the happily married man…My first husband was like that….he would love to trot me and the kids out at work functions, and family functions, but when at home he didn’t even look at us. Didn’t want anything to do with us…but we sure looked like the perfect, loving family to the world….ok, maybe, I’m projecting my past circumstances and George is crying everyday, missing his wife. I hope so!
Your first husband was a fool, MrsBPitt.
GNAT….He sure was! I was a fool to put up with it so long! Thank God, I found someone who is the complete opposite of that idot! The sad part is, now my sons are grown men and their “father” NOW wants to be a part of their lives, and they want nothing to do with him…Cats in the cradle, baby!
You deserve better, that’s for sure! I don’t think your ‘projection’ is far from the truth. George probably LOVES to talk about “his wife”, like she was a trophy, secretely enjoying the time without her.
Eh. The whole “family image” thing is a better descriptor for Russell Crowe.
Considering their commitments, they will probably have to spend some time apart. I don’t think it’s a bad sign or anything, though a month is too long for me to be away from my husband.
Oh for pete’s sake..he left his ‘honeymoon’ early to promote a film not even finished, he’s spent a few days in England to stay in public eye, and they had holidays with other people. The days these lovebirds have spent alone can probably be counted on your fingers. It’s a business partnership..Ben and Jerry without the fun.
WORD.
Word Up!
Spare me. And, no, they don’t have to address every point in a story, because then you spend your life doing it and even more stories are created so you will respond.
She was in California with him when no one had ever even seen her nor papped her getting there. No one knew she was in town with him until they were papped in a garage after being out for dinner.
They are rich. She can work long-distance, especially on weekends. I don’t think anyone seriously believes there won’t be some weekends together where one of them flies in or out. Five weeks apart. Sure.
Wait a minute, it’s no big deal when a couple spends time apart except when it’s Kanye and Kim. From the articles on this site it sounded like they were headed for divorce.
George seems like such a fun guy. She seems like she’s a stick in the mud and no fun.
I will be truly interested in the Clooneys when the split is announced.
“I’m sure all of this was covered in the contract.” LOL! A month apart is a long time, but it goes fast when both people are busy. This is a very adult-high roller-marriage. I’m sure neither of them really “needs” the other person, and lots of time apart is going to be their M.O.
Meh, whatever. I dont really care either way what happens to this couple and I’m not saying they have a love for th ages or anything, but I’m not going to declare them doomed just because a bunch of tabloids say so.
Deal was she will be in London and he will be in LA doing their own thing, vacay twice a year, pose for few events, “save the World” together rest of the time and make the World a designer place for us all, mere mortals to live in.
He was drunk at Sushi place with the guys, frowning at the paps who were taking pics the day after she left via DM. Apparently she won’t let him to go out with boys, don’t let him contact any ex gf’s even to say thank you, trying hard to hook up Sandra Bullock with one of her lawyer friends because GC has soft spot for Sandra B.
I would run fast too, run faaaar away after I burn the white gloves first.
Sandra, too?? Didn’t Ellen Barkin just hook up with a lawyer she met at Clooney’s wedding?
People is reporting that Amal was in LA for her birthday (Feb 3rd in LA). If this is true, she flew from France-where she was barristing-to LA for her birthday,then back to London. All I want to know is how are the two cocker spaniels that she gave to George? I mean, how can someone adopt a pet and just leave them for months? This doesn’t bode well for potential little Clooneys.
Let’s guess…a surprise dinner at Asanebo’s? 😉
The People article stated (per Randy) that Amal and George celebrated:
“in understated fashion with a low-key dinner at their home”.
As opposed to overstated fashion?
Well, an anonymous poster underneath the People article claims that GC was on set of Hail Caesar with him all day Tuesday. (The poster claimed to be an extra). According to the poster, GC said that Amal was in Europe working, when someone asked about her.
Being apart from your spouse on your birthday is not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world. I’m assuming that both parties to this marriage expected that they would be apart on occasion, tending to various professional engagements. Why the fake story on People, then?
So, fishy…..
Also (because the picture is up there) my husband, who’s no fan of the gossip blogs, handed me this article in the Economist about US courts’ aversion to filming oral argument proceedings. I know that practices might be different in European courts, but the article does point to an aversion to the types of photo ops that Amal appears to be practicing here.

Honestly, I don’t think she was in LA for her birthday, and Rande is acting the PR boy.
Yup Randi is playing as George’s pr ,making personal commentary to People.
My husband and I have spent months apart because of work. We are happily married for 14 years. I don’t see a problem with these two. They look happy with one another. George most likely can’t believe his good fortune in finding such a beautiful intelligent wife.
All in all being Clooney’s beard does seem like a pretty sweet position. There is such a thing as a painstakingly chosen pairing in the European sense, where it’s about social prestige and respectability and both parties do whatever they please and they spend many months of the year apart. There’s really nothing wrong with that and I think alot of Americans who go through 2-3 or more divorces in their lifetime would have been much happier in a union with more realistic expectations and more independence.
Have to admit I don’t think being apart for a month isn’t too a big a deal, especially in a marriage sans children. Military families go much longer without seeing each other.
For just married, I think some patterns are quickly being set for these two.
I think she’ll out Fame-Wh*** Hillaria Baldwin. Hear she’s pushing hubby to get her a reality show??
Lost a lot of respect for her during the wedding weekend due to her clothing choices. It’s very tacky to climb stairs or pose from above in shortened mullet dresses flashing biscuit. The mags showed her dresses before they were shortened to her specs so she could “show off her legs.” Those legs?? Throw her a double cheeseburger & some dungarees.
A reality show? You’re still talking about Hilaria, right? Hilaria is the most transparent media whore to come along …. ever (except maybe Jessica Seinfeld).
There is no way Amal would even consider a reality show. She’s in a completely different professional class than most “Hollywood wives.”
“There is no way Amal would even consider a reality show. She’s in a completely different professional class than most “Hollywood wives.”
Amal is what we in America call a trial lawyer. Trial lawyers IMO are right up there with reality show stars. Drama is a huge part of what they do during a trial and with media. Try reading some John Grisham- an author and former lawyer-if you don’t believe me.
This Was Never A Marriage For Love.
Never. Ever.Ever.
For either party.
I don’t think Amal is stupid.
And George is NOT in love with Amal. Never was.
WE the people seem to be fooled forever so it keeps happening.
