George Clooney's jet-set lawyer wife Amal has relocated to New York as the couple try to bury persistent rumors about the state of their marriage.
The attorney had planned to stay in Europe with their two children while Clooney trod the boards in a Broadway play, RadarOnline.com can reveal
But they’ve set home in the Big Apple until the run ends in June for the sake of their 10-year marriage.
Amal and George Clooney are said to be in the midst of a secret split.
An insider told us: "Divorce rumors surrounding them intensified earlier this year, mainly due to their evolving living arrangements.
"Amal thinks moving to New York so it doesn't seem like she and George are living separate lives will kill the gossip – but it probably won't."
After spending several years in Europe with their seven-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, the Clooney clan was facing a huge geographical divide.
George, 63, has been residing in New York since January as he prepares for his Broadway debut in the stage adaptation of his critically acclaimed 2005 film, Good Night, and Good Luck.
Meanwhile, his wife, 47, a prominent human rights barrister, finds herself juggling commitments across the Atlantic, with her Chambers based in London.
Recently, she also announced her appointment as a visiting professor of practice in international law at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University in the UK.
Speaking about her new appointment on the school’s website, she said: "I am honored to be back at Oxford, this time not as a student but as a professor.”
Clooney was set to be apart from his family for months due to his Broadway launch.
The fact the Clooneys rarely talk about their marriage has fueled the divorce gossip surrounding the power-player couple.
But George George recently took the unusual step to allay concerns while promoting his new theater show.
When asked about the family set-up while he’s been treading the boards, he revealed his whole family had followed him to New York and will stay there until the end of his run in June.
"They’re in New York," he told Access Hollywood when asked about his wife and kids. "We’ve been here the whole time. You know, the normal things that children do which is, apparently you have to educate them, which I was shocked by. They’re in school."
He added: "My wife is dealing with me walking around doing lines in a play all day long, so I think she knows it better than me."
Amal has a massively busy career that has nothing to do with George's showbiz world or Hollywood.
