However, last year, Ali shared several emotional posts on Instagram related to her firstborn, as she moved out of the family home for the first time to attend college.

Ali admitted on social media that taking Elliott to university had been "brutal" in an honest conversation with fellow parent Gwyneth Paltrow.

While George and Ali miss having their daughter around, they are incredibly proud of her. Ali opened up about the teenager on her Go Ask Ali podcast earlier in the year, revealing that her teenager was "thriving" there.

George and Ali welcomed Elliott in September 2002, followed by Harper, in June 2005. Ali previously gave an insight into their family dynamics during an interview in 2016.

Like all teenagers, Ali and George's children struggled during the pandemic and in 2020 the author opened up about their experience.
