George Clooney, Amal Hold Hands During Saint-Tropez Outing Amid Claims They’re ‘Leading Separate Lives’
George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, packed on some PDA on their public outing last week.
The Clooneys were spotted dining at the Jardin Tropezina restaurant in Saint-Tropez on June 25. They had a prime table off the side of the restaurant that served Mediterranean food. In the snap obtained by People, the two were all smiles as they held hands while walking.
The "Money Monster" actor dressed casually in a white polo shirt, gray pants and gray shoes. He accessorized with a pair of sunglasses and was holding what appeared to be a gray blazer in one arm and a phone.
His wife looked gorgeous in her colorful floral mini-dress. Amal paired her get-up with sunglasses, a white shoulder bag and nude pumps. She let her long curls down.

The outlet added that the couple often spend time in vacation destinations in Europe. Also, Saint-Tropez is not far from their villa in Lake Como, Italy.
The sighting of George and Amal holding hands in public came weeks after one report claimed that their marriage was allegedly "cracking under pressure." An unnamed source told In Touch that both were very busy with their work, and it had already affected their relationship as they were "leading separate lives."
"They are both hardcore workaholics, so it's like they're in their own little bubble," an unnamed source claimed. "They are in two very different worlds 90 percent of the day. They're leading separate lives."
The 63-year-old actor has a lot on his plate. He had a reunion movie with Brad Pitt, "Wolfs," and filmed another project with Adam Sandler in Italy earlier this year for Noah Baumbach's untitled Netflix project. He is also producing projects behind the scenes.

Amal is reportedly as dedicated as her husband when it comes to her craft. The 46-year-old British international human rights lawyer travels "back and forth for work." She reportedly spends much time in London or in the Hague in the Netherlands, where the International Criminal Court headquarters is located.
"She's doing so much around the world that most people don't even know about," the insider said of Amal. "Her career will never take a back seat to George's career, and she made that clear to him very early on."
The celebrity couple reportedly don't mind spending 18 hours on their craft, and the only moment their time "overlaps" is during vacation, which "doesn't come up that often." Also, since their careers are very different, the pair have different sets of staff and friends, and "there's not a lot of crossover." When they are free, they reportedly spend their time with their 7-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, and not with each other.
But the couple's recent sighting seemingly suggests they are doing OK. The couple spoke about their relationship in 2022 in an interview with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings" to mark their eighth wedding anniversary. George and Amal shared that it was easy being together because they never argued.
"It does start with love," George said when asked how they remain together. "That's sort of the whole secret to it. It's just been easy. Like the easiest thing we have done in our lives thus far. We've never had an argument."
"It's madness to some of our friends," Amal added.
