George Stephanopoulos’ wife speaks out

Ali opened up about her husband’s emotional side. She told her co-host, Ryan Seacrest, that he often “cries” during commercial breaks when he reports heartbreaking news stories. Ali guest hosted on Live With Kelly & Ryan on Thursday, August 25. Both hosts talked about getting emotional.

As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Ryan revealed his softer side. He revealed that he cried while watching the HBO Max documentary Hackers. Ali admitted that George Stephanopoulos loves to cry as well. She joked that he’s “not as strong” as she is behind the scenes.

“We went to the musical The Little Mermaid and George started crying and my daughters made us leave they were so embarrassed,” Ali told Ryan. “Every rom-com, not me, George. I’m strong and he’s not.”

Ryan was surprised to learn this tidbit. He assumed that the ABC news anchor “would not be such a big crier.” The American Idol host asked whether George was putting up a “front” on television. Ali explained that he separates his feelings when he’s in front of the cameras.

“I think you can sort of separate it. But there have been a few hard news things where at break he started crying,” she said.

George Stephanopoulos will turn off the tears afterward. He puts his “strong face” on when the cameras start rolling again. His wife noted that he “gets emotional.” This secret came out as fans wonder where George has been lately.
