Following their marriage, George and Ali would frequently be seen together on the air. They welcomed their first child, daughter Elliott, in September 2002, in Washington, D.C. In June 2005, their second daughter, Harper, was born.
According to GH, Ali makes sure to go to bed with her husband at the same time consistently to feel more associated with him in spite of their different hours.
SPECIAL RITUAL
"My feeling was if I don't get to bed with my husband and I don't wake up with my husband, then he's just my roommate," she said on Where are they Now?
In a 2017 interview on "Live with Kelly and Ryan," Ali revealed that her husband has a personal routine where he has to kiss her and their daughters before he leaves for work early in the morning.
George announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 but was asymptomatic.
