- Wentworth shared updates about their home life, revealing she and Stephanopoulos have differing opinions about their eldest daughter living at home.
- Stephanopoulos blushed as his GMA colleagues praised their relationship.
The Good Morning America hosts had a fun morning thanks to George Stephanopoulos‘ wife, Ali Wentworth.
“You’re not one of our, [you’re] the favorite guest here on GMA,” Robin Roberts said on the Wednesday, November 11, episode of the ABC morning show. Wentworth stopped by to promote her new movie, Quarter, in which she plays a mother who shares a close relationship with her daughter, who has Type 1 Diabetes.
The film hit home for Wentworth, who shares two daughters, Elliott and Harper, with Stephanopoulos. “We’re going through something right now where our eldest, Elliott, is living at home. She graduated from college, but she’s not making any money,” she shared. “And our thing is, she said to us, ‘Why would I move out? Mom makes dinner, my laundry is done, and I live with my two best friends.’”
Wentworth and Stephanopoulos have different opinions about their daughter staying home. “I went, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ And he was like, ‘She’s gotta move out! This is crazy!’” she recalled. Making the GMA hosts burst into laughter, Wentworth added, “I’m like, ‘We have a built-in person to change our bedpans when we’re old. Why get rid of her? I want two spinsters that live with us forever.’”

Wentworth got more laughter out of the GMA hosts by using her new project to poke fun at her husband’s latest career accomplishment. “I have a feeling I’m gonna get a star on Hollywood Blvd. based on this film,” she joked, referring to Stephanopoulos being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Stephanopoulos and Roberts were honored on the Walk of Fame during a joint ceremony on Thursday, November 5. Wentworth said it was her daughter Harper’s idea for the family to pull a funny pose while taking pictures with Stephanopoulos and his star.
While the family had a “great time” at the ceremony, Wentworth said Stephanopoulos’ honor hasn’t changed their home life in any way. “Let’s be honest. Whatever happens here with you people, when you’re like, ‘Oh, my God. George, you’re so amazing.’ When he comes home, bam! Bam!” she quipped. “There’s not enough accolades he could get, because when he comes home, it’s like, ‘It’s your turn to bathe the dogs.’ So, we keep him humble.”
Sam Champion went on to compliment the couple, stating, “We all remember when the couple-ness of you happened. And still to this day, when I watch him watch you, he…” Before Champion finished, Stephanopoulos chimed in to joke, “[I] look scared.”

Stephanopoulos wrapped up the interview by noting that he and Wentworth will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next week. “It’s proof that an open marriage works,” Wentworth joked, leaving the GMA hosts in a fit of giggles.
