Rumors of strain in George and Amal Clooney’s marriage have resurfaced. Multiple insiders claimed that a demanding year has taken a toll on the couple’s relationship. This has, in turn, made George “incredibly grumpy,” leading to a tense atmosphere around the actor. Consequently, “everyone’s walking on eggshells,” and the rumors are not making it any easier.
Amal and George Clooney’s marriage showing signs of strain, says source
George and Amal Clooney’s marriage has become an online spectacle, with tabloids wondering if there is any strain in their relationship. An insider told RadarOnline, “George has been acting incredibly grumpy lately, and Amal is feeling the strain.” Moreover, the actor has “been hard to handle, and friends are wondering what’s really going on with him.”
As per those close to the couple, scheduling has been a sticking point. Clooney’s run in a Broadway production kept him in New York for months. On the other hand, Amal remained in the U.K. for academic and legal commitments. “Amal has complained to friends that even when they’re at their beautiful home in Como, George will spend hours in another room instead of enjoying their time together,” claimed an insider. They added, “She keeps trying to figure out ways to help him relax, but it’s like he just can’t switch it off.”
Furthermore, the source explained, “When George is worn out, he gets short-tempered and annoyed. Amal is sympathetic because she’s a huge workaholic herself, but it’s clear she is at the end of her rope.” Commenting on the efforts to reset, the source revealed, “She’s bending over backwards trying to help him, and he’s not following any of her advice.” The individual also stated that it has been “pretty exasperating” for the lawyer, “and the worry is that eventually, she’s going to just give up.”
Earlier this year, a source described Clooney as “concerned about his marriage and wondering if doing this play was a good move.” However, it is worth noting that none of these claims has been confirmed by George or Amal Clooney. In fact, the Daily Mail reported the couple arriving hand-in-hand in Venice ahead of the city’s film festival. Fittingly, they got married there in 2014, and any rumors about their marriage are just that — public chatter.
