Ali Wentworth is battling for her husband George Stephanopoulos' attention — with their dogs!
The Ali's Well That Ends Well author and the Good Morning America anchor are devout dog lovers, but in the former's latest post, she couldn't help but tease they were taking up all of his attention.
In addition to their beloved pups, of course, the couple, who tied the knot in 2001, are parents to two daughters, Elliott, 23, and Harper, 21.
Over the weekend, Ali took to Instagram and shared a photo of George relaxing at their house in the Hamptons — or trying to.
The candid photo sees him laying out on a pool lounger, though laying on top of him — and licking his face — are the family's two dogs.
"Anything to make me jealous…" Ali teased in the caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and rave over it.

You need to be climbing all over George like the puppies do," one jokingly suggested, as others followed suit with: "Favorite photo period and the dog's expressions and caption……. Ha ha ha," and: "They know a good man," as well as: "Awe what a sweet spot! George and the doggies having an adorable moment."
In another recent, candid glimpse into their summer out East, Ali, again teasing George, shared a sweet selfie of the two playing Rummikub, and joked: "Please don't tell George I posted this… but Rummikub is the only thing I continually beat him at. Maybe I'M the smart one? Shhhhhh……"
Next year will mark George's 20th year at ABC, having joined the network in 1997, and later succeeding Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America in 2009. Speaking with People late last year about what have been some of the most memorable moments of his nearly 20 years on GMA, he shared: "My favorite moment, if I had to say, was the day that Robin [Roberts] came back from a bone-marrow transplant and said, 'Good morning, America' for the first time."

George, who was also previously the chief Washington correspondent for ABC News, also confessed to the outlet that he was initially hesitant to take on the GMA gig. "When they first came to me with the idea that I should join Robin as a co-anchor, I said, 'Are you kidding? That's not what I do,'" he admitted, noting: "And I said, 'No.' We were living in D.C. at the time, and I just didn't think it was the right fit for me."
