Much like last week’s New York Times write-up, People Magazine has decided to do an article about how George Clooney and Amal have taken New York by storm. For what it’s worth, I do think Amal seems a lot happier in New York. She gets pap’d on the reg, she gets to hang out with all of the important people, she doesn’t have to cook or pretend to care about George’s crew of dude-friends. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if George bought a nice apartment for them in New York as soon as he finishes filming Money Monster. Anyway, People’s write-up is mostly a summary of stuff we already knew/wrote about when it happened. But there was some new info! Some highlights:

A source tells People: “They’re having a great time in New York, both working really hard but also having fun together.”

Amal’s brother is in New York and he visited the set of Money Monster with Amal on Sunday.

Their two cocker spaniels are named Einstein and Louie.

Another source tells People: “Amal and George look happy and in love. They’re spending time with other couples and friends who are bright and driven and interested in improving the world.”

Amal’s not thinking about babies? “Amal’s very much in love and extremely busy,” says a source close to the lawyer, adding that she’s “not thinking about babies” at the moment.

George will be heading overseas in May to promote Tomorrowland. Will Amal come with?

That’s interesting that a “source” just wanted People Magazine to know that Amal is “extremely busy” and “not thinking about babies.” This is going to sound judgy, but I’m actually saying this as a matter of general pragmatism: the window for “we’re thinking about babies/we’re trying for babies” is closing very quickly. She’s 37 years old and he’s 53. What I’m saying is that they’re both a little long in the tooth to still be playing the “we’re not thinking about that right now, we’re just having fun” game. Now, if they don’t plan on having kids, that’s fine and it’s not my business or anyone else’s. But it seems more like Amal and George want to keep the baby speculation in the air for a year or so. This is called The Aniston Method.
