George, a serious-minded man of politics and news, and Ali Wentworth, the vivacious, witty actress and writer, might seem like an unlikely pair—but their marriage has proven that opposites truly do attract. Together, they’ve built a life filled with laughter, love, and a little chaos along the way.

A Disaster-Date That Sparked True Love

Their story began in 2001 with a fateful blind date. Ali went into the meeting in a relaxed (some might say chaotic) state—untouched by showers, unshaven legs, and treating the whole thing more as an obligation than anything serious. Yet somehow, amid the awkwardness and humor, sparks flew. Their connection was instant, leading to an engagement just two months later. A disaster-date turned destiny.

The “Most Bullied” Man in the House

Ali has never shied away from sharing her playful side. In interviews, she often jokes about George being the only man in the house—and somehow, always the one getting “bullied” by her and their kids. “He’s always wrong, always the lovable fool,” she laughs, painting a picture of a home where humor and teasing rule alongside love.

Freedom, Fun, and Empty-Nest Bliss

In 2025, when their eldest daughter graduated from college and their youngest went off to school, George and Ali officially entered “empty nest” territory. Far from feeling lonely, Ali shared with a wink that it’s like falling in love all over again. The couple now enjoys the freedom to walk around naked, watch whatever they please on TV, and savor the joy of a home where it’s just the two of them—laughing, teasing, and enjoying life together.

Through quirky dates, relentless teasing, and decades of love, George and Ali Wentworth show that marriage doesn’t have to be predictable to be perfect. Opposites really can attract—and when they do, life is infinitely more fun.
