Amal Clooney 'not pleased' with George and Jennifer Lopez's growing bond amid divorce rumors: Source

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Whispers of tension are echoing as sources say Amal Clooney, the internationally revered human rights lawyer and wife to actor George Clooney, is not exactly thrilled about her husband’s recent closeness with none other than pop icon Jennifer Lopez.

According to reports, Amal has been “caught off guard” by how tight George and Lopez have become, especially at a time when divorce rumors about the Clooneys are gaining momentum.

Amal Clooney ‘not pleased’ with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez's growing bond

“Amal certainly doesn’t suspect any hanky-panky, but she’s not pleased at how well George and JLo seem to get along,” an insider told Radar Online.

The quote may sound diplomatic, but insiders suggest there's a lot more bubbling beneath the surface.

Adding fuel to the speculation fire was Amal’s noticeable absence from the recent Broadway premiere of George’s play, 'Good Luck, and Good Night'.

When reporters asked George why Amal skipped his big night on Broadway, the actor casually remarked she was “home with the kids.”

However, Lopez was among the A-listers who attended the show, and it surely didn't go unnoticed.

“That sure caught everyone’s attention, including Amal’s,” the source said. “If Amal had shown up, George and JLo probably wouldn’t have reconnected to the degree they did.”

The insider went on to reveal what might be Amal’s biggest worry: “Now, Amal has got to be worrying over how much blabbing George did about his marriage to JLo, who knows a thing or two about marital problems herself.”

Apparently, Jennifer Lopez, who worked with George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh's 1998 action comedy film, 'Out Of Sight', has become something of an emotional support for the actor. 

“George is very needy right now, and JLo was there to listen and lighten things up a little for him,” the source shared. “He has long admired her for her toughness and her sense of humor.”

But the admiration may be turning excessive or a "little too much" for Amal’s taste.

The insider claimed, “It’s ‘JLo this’ and ‘JLo that’ from George. What wife is going to appreciate that?”

“He likes being around JLo and may even try to set her up with one of his pals. But Amal is against it. She just doesn't understand his fascination with her," the source further said. 

And perhaps most telling of all: “This kind of stuff is triggering for Amal. The last thing she wants is to hear from a former ladies’ man how great another woman is.”
