LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Good Morning America’s host George Stephanopoulos and his wife Ali Wentworth lead an active social life outside the spectrum of the morning show. If George is a daytime host and a revered political commentator, Ali has made her mark as an actress and now as a producer with the Brooke Shields documentary ‘Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields'. Courtesy of her fame, Ali has made many influential and famous friends over the years, and one of her oldest and most steady friends has been Katie McGrath.

Ali and Katie have known each other for 30 years and their friendship tinkers on the lines of a family bond. George and Ali often spend time with Katie and her family which includes the famous Hollywood director, JJ Abrams. Ali and Katie have grown up together and usually spend all the holidays together. However, it was only recently that Ali posted a few birthday snaps for Katie, revealing the depths of their friendship to her followers.
