This is one of the stupidest tabloid stories of the week, but the gossip is running dry and we need something fun/silly. This story involves George Clooney, otherwise known as America’s Bachelor-Turned-Husband-of-the-Year, and his runaway bride Amal. Two weekends ago, Amal finally ended her lengthy winter holiday on the west coast and flew out to France, where she appeared at a human rights court. It was big news and the paparazzi were there, of course. Since then, we haven’t heard much about Amal. Sources told Life & Style that Amal went back to London and that she’ll probably be there until March. George is probably going to be LA this month, so it’s a scandal because a married couple is spending five weeks apart!!

According to Life & Style, the newlyweds are on their own and happy about it. George is filming a movie in Los Angeles while Amal is working out of London, and “the couple actually welcomed the break,” alleges the tabloid. A so-called “insider” tells the magazine, “They’re really happy right now being on their own.”

That’s because the Clooneys “sure weren’t happy together.” The outlet claims they’ve been fighting about whether to start a family, and that George’s close friends are allegedly fed up with Amal’s seriousness and hoping “the distance is the first step on the road to divorce.”

Have we gotten to a “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” point in this Alamooney gossip yet? For what it’s worth, Gossip Cop also has a “source close to the situation” who denies this story by saying George and Amal are “incredibly happy.” Which isn’t a denial that they’re spending five weeks (or more) apart and that they were actually eager to take a break from each other. Because they got married too quickly and possibly for the wrong reasons and they don’t really know each other that well?

Now, all that being said, of course it’s no big deal when a couple spends time apart. I’m side-eyeing it because they’ve literally only been married less than five months and it’s a little bit funny that they ALREADY need a break from each other, but whatever. They’re adults and they both have jobs. I’m sure all of this was covered in the contract.
