George and Amal Clooney, a beloved power couple in Hollywood, have recently faced some speculation regarding their relationship. While the actor attended his Broadway play, Good Night, and Good Luck, Amal was noticeably absent. George explained on the red carpet on April 3 that Amal couldn’t make it because she was at home with their kids.

The play, which officially opened on April 3 at New York City’s Winter Garden Theatre, is based on George’s 2005 film of the same name. Not only does George star in the production as the legendary Edward R. Murrow, but he also wrote the script. Despite Amal’s absence from the performance, she and the children were still in the city, and George shared in a previous interview with The Late Show that the family was enjoying their time there. He remarked, “How do you not like the city? They love being here, and we’re having a really fun time.”

However, the couple’s apparent separation at the play, along with ongoing divorce rumors, has sparked further speculation. A source close to the couple shared with Radar Online that they’ve been “papering over the cracks” in their relationship for years. The source suggested that while Amal is in New York to support George during his play, the marriage may be nearing its end once the production concludes. The same insider hinted that George’s substantial earnings from the play could help fund the couple’s potential split.

Despite the rumors, other sources close to the couple have contradicted these claims. According to US Weekly, George and Amal have been enjoying their time in New York City, hosting dinner parties for friends, and they appear to be happy together. The Clooneys, who share 7-year-old twins Alexander and Ella, seem to be balancing family life with their professional endeavors in the city.
