George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth’s latest date night was quite the star-studded event.
The Good Morning America anchor and his wife traded an intimate dinner for two for a concert instead, to support their family friend Gracie Abrams.
Gracie is the daughter of J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath, who are longtime friends of the Stephanopoulos-Wentworth family, and who had a sold out show in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall over the weekend.
After the special night out, Ali took to Instagram and shared sweet photos, including quite the star-studded snap featuring herself and George, J.J. and Katie, plus none other than Brooke Shields.
She also shared a sweet photo hugging Gracie herself, who is good friends with Ali and George’s two daughters, Elliott, 21, and Harper, 19.
“What an amazing night seeing our girl @gracieabrams we [love] you!!!!” Ali wrote on her caption, and fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it.

© GettyGeorge recently opened up during an appearance on LIVE with Kelly and Mark about becoming empty nesters with Ali, admitting to hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Cosuelos, who are also now empty nesters, that they were “really apprehensive about it.” He explained: “Because we had kids right when we got married, so this was the first time we were alone together in the house,” but maintained: “It was pretty great.”

Kelly then noted: “We went to visit Lola [during her time abroad in London], and she and I had so many conversations, shallow, deep, we ran the gamut,” which George resonated with. He added: “There’s something about being in a new environment, everyone sees each other in a slightly different way,” but that: “When they come back, it’s like they never left.”
