George Clooney and Julia Roberts sparked renewed attention after insiders revealed why the longtime friends did not reunite at her latest film premiere. Sources claimed Clooney made a personal decision that kept him from attending Roberts’ After the Hunt event.
Sources say George Clooney left Julia Roberts for his wife
George Clooney and Julia Roberts’ long friendship drew attention after new reports surfaced about the actor’s recent plans. Sources claimed Clooney spent the evening with his wife, Amal Clooney, instead of attending Roberts’ New York City premiere for After the Hunt.
According to RadarOnline.com, Clooney “blew off a major Hollywood moment to be on a date with his wife.” He attended the Broadway play Art, starring James Corden, Bobby Cannavale, and Neil Patrick Harris. The outlet said the couple “held hands during the performance,” and one insider added, “George looked thrilled just to be by her side.”
Sources described Clooney’s choice as personal rather than professional, noting he wanted to spend time with Amal amid ongoing marriage rumors. The report stated that the Oscar winner appeared happy and relaxed during their night out. Meanwhile, Roberts celebrated the premiere without her Ocean’s Eleven co-star, whom she has often called one of her closest friends.
The publication revisited earlier claims of tension in the Clooneys’ marriage after George’s comments in Esquire. He revealed that after attending the Tony Awards in June, he “caught up for all his abstinence in one night” and was “sick all day the next day.” Clooney joked about the incident, but sources said Amal “was anything but entertained.”
An insider told the outlet, “Amal has drawn a firm line. She’s told George that his drinking isn’t something she’s prepared to overlook. She admired the effort he put into staying sober, but hearing him boast about getting ‘dumb drunk’ really upset her.” Reports indicated that the couple remained close despite the ongoing rumors.
