George and Amal Clooney prepare for six-month split amid breakup rumors | Hollywood

George and Amal Clooney are preparing to “put their 10-year marriage to the test” as they prepare for a six-month separation.

The Hollywood veteran will make his Broadway debut in 2025 with a stage adaptation of his critically acclaimed 2005 film “Good Night, and Good Luck.” While this marks an exciting new chapter in George’s career, it also means he will be living with his family across the Atlantic for the duration of the series.

An insider told Life & Style, “George has never acted on Broadway before and is excited about the opportunity.”

“But between rehearsals and performances, that means he’ll be spending six months in NYC. Amal will remain in France, where her two children live – and there is no denying that this will put their ten-year marriage to the test.”

This idea came from her unrelenting love for her 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella. Previously, Amal might have accompanied George during such a long stay, but the couple decided for the sake of the children and do not want to change their schedule frequently. The children are now in school and it is impossible to move them from one school to another at any time.

To maintain their connection, the Clooneys “will stay in touch via FaceTime and text messages. George is able to talk to the children every night before bed, taking into account the time difference. And Amal could maybe fly in for a weekend visit every now and then.”

However, the separation is not without worries. Living apart in the past has reportedly taken a toll on their relationship. “It didn’t do much good for the marriage,” the source told Life & Style. “So it’s definitely going to be challenging to spend so much time apart.”

“George tells Amal and the twins that he will be home in no time,” the source added.
