The New York premiere of ‘After the Hunt’ was a glamorous affair, with Julia Roberts taking centre stage. The actress, who stars in the much-anticipated drama, was all smiles as she walked the red carpet solo. Her longtime friend and collaborator, George Clooney, was noticeably absent. Instead of joining Julia at the premiere, he reportedly spent the evening enjoying a cosy date night with his wife, Amal Clooney.

George and Amal skip the premiere

While Roberts mingled with fans and press, George and Amal were spotted stepping out for a cultural evening at the Broadway play Art, starring James Corden, Bobby Cannavale, and Neil Patrick Harris. Witnesses described the couple as effortlessly elegant,George in his classic, understated style and Amal radiant in a chic ensemble. The two appeared relaxed and affectionate, savouring a quiet night away from the red carpet buzz.

Their love story

Their appearance came as no surprise to fans who have followed the couple’s journey from the very beginning. Introduced by a mutual friend in 2013, George and Amal’s connection was instant. Within a year, the actor proposed in a heartfelt moment that caught even her off guard. Reflecting on that night, George once shared during the interview CBS News, “I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Amal. When I asked her, we had never talked about it. There wasn’t like ‘Maybe we should get married.’ I dropped it on her.”The two tied the knot in a dreamy Italian ceremony in 2014, surrounded by close friends and family. Three years later, their lives changed again with the arrival of their twins, Alexander and Ella. Speaking about the love he found later in life, George said, “I have someone who I care about more than I’ve cared about anything, so it’s really nice.”
