George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth are ready to celebrate their silver anniversary.
The actress, 61, joined her husband on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Nov. 11 to promote her new movie, Quarter, when the topic turned to her forthcoming 25th wedding anniversary with Stephanopoulos, 65.
The pair — who share daughters Elliott, 24, and Harper, 21 — wed on Nov. 20, 2001.
“We all remember when the [coupling] of you happened,” said GMA’s Sam Champion. “And still, to this day, when I watch him watch you, he loves in a way... It is so beautiful to watch you two together.”
Stephanopoulos joked that he looked “scared,” prompting Wentworth to playfully wag her fist at her husband and yell, “Love me!”

Champion then brought up the couple’s upcoming 25th anniversary as Wentworth wrapped her arms around Stephanopoulos. “25 years, thank you. It’s proof that an open marriage works,” she quipped.
The entire GMA couch then erupted in laughter. “I almost feel like as a producer, ‘Can I leave set right now,’” Michael Strahan asked.
Stephanopoulos then said he’d “get us out of this,” as he signed off the segment and plugged Wentworth’s new film. Elsewhere in the interview, Wentworth detailed what it was like to support Stephanopoulos at his joint Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony with Robin Roberts last week. When asked if he’s “impossible now,” Wentworth mused that she doesn’t let her husband’s GMA fame get to his head.

“Let’s be honest, whatever happens here with you people when you’re all like, ‘Oh my God, George, you’re so amazing,’ when he comes home, ‘Bam, bam!’ There’s not enough accolades he can get,” she joked. “Because when he comes home, it’s like, it’s your turn to bathe the dogs. We keep him humble.”

Wentworth joined her husband and their two girls when he was presented with his Walk of Fame star on Nov. 5. He was also recognized by his friend Michael J. Fox during the ceremony. Wentworth shared on GMA that they had a “great time,” and even revealed why she struck a silly pose next to her loved ones.
“That was all Harper’s idea,” she said. “Usually I’m the crazy one, but that’s my mini me. She turned into her mother.”
Stephanopoulos later shared the clip of Wentworth on GMA to Instagram, writing, “America’s favorite guest is here 😂.”
During the A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s gala in New York City in 2025, the comedian told PEOPLE that she and her husband “write each other cards” for their anniversaries. She also teased that they might do something more for their milestone 25th.
The longtime couple met during a blind date in April 2001 and wed that same year at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York City.
“Next year will be 25 [years of marriage], then we’ll celebrate,” Wentworth previously teased. “I don’t know what we’re going to do. I would like to take a little family trip, but of course our daughters are like, ‘Let’s have a big party.’ So I don’t know.”
