George Clooney enjoyed a beloved American pastime in his own backyard after reports surfaced that his family's status in the states may be in jeopardy. 

Clooney, 63, attempted to go incognito, and wore gray shorts and a navy blue polo shirt to play softball in Central Park.

The "Good Night, and Good Luck" star appeared to be completely at ease on the diamond despite news that his wife Amal, a British human rights lawyer, may have difficulty entering the United States again due to her work with the International Criminal Court and new sanctions in an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

Clooney smiled and laughed with his team as he fielded balls before stepping up to the plate during a co-ed game with the Broadway League.  

Amal, 47, reportedly gave legal advice in a war crimes case against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the war in Gaza, according to the Financial Times.

Trump's executive order claims the court "engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel. The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.

"The United States will impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC’s transgressions, some of which may include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members." 

Amal, born in Lebanon and raised in Britain, practices law in both England and the United States and has lived all over the world.

Clooney proposed to Amal in April 2014, and the couple married five months later in Venice, Italy. Three years later, in 2017, the Clooneys welcomed twins Alexander and Ella.  

The couple have homes all around the world, including Italy, England and a French property roughly 30 minutes away from Château Miraval, an operating winery owned by George's buddy, Brad Pitt.

While gearing up for his Broadway debut, the former "ER" star revealed his family was back living in the states.

"They’re in New York. We’ve been here the whole time," he told Access Hollywood. "You know, the normal things that children do, which is, apparently, you have to educate them, which I was shocked by. They’re in school."

During an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," he noted that his children were adjusting well to city life, and that they "love New York."

"How can you not like the city? It’s New York City!" Clooney said. "Amal went to NYU, so she’s been here many times."

Ex-New Yorkers have declared something is rotten in the Big Apple, explaining Friday why they moved in droves to the Sunshine State instead.

According to a new study by the nonpartisan New York-focused Citizens Budget Commission (CBC), more than 150,000 residents reportedly fled New York for Florida between 2018 and 2022. With about 50,000 leaving Florida for NYC, the Big Apple saw a net decrease of over 100,000 residents who took almost $14 billion in income along with them. 

This is part of an ongoing, years-long exodus of people from some of America’s most liberal states, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the homelessness and economic issues that surged in its wake. 

Alex Taub, the co-founder of entertainment tech startup Goblintown, was one of many new Floridians who spoke to the New York Post about his motivations for leaving New York in the rearview mirror.

"People thought we were crazy when we were telling them this but it just started getting more and more bleak in New York," Taub said. "For the same price that we were paying [for a two-bedroom apartment] in New York, we were getting a five-bedroom, four-bathroom house with a pool and a backyard."

The lifelong New Yorker said he once would have considered it "blasphemous" to leave, but the potential change in his work-life balance was too good to pass up. 

"A lot of friends have moved down here, a lot of people in tech, a lot of people in business. The people who stayed are the people with kids," Taub told the New York-based outlet. "I’ve never worked harder in my life but I know that at 5 o’clock today I can jump in the pool for a short break with my kids and have fun."

Bustle Media CEO Bryan Goldberg praised south Florida’s government, telling the New York Post it "is composed of dozens of small towns with accessible, sane leaders who work hard to improve our lives."

"I can get on the phone with the Miami Beach mayor at any time, and so can any of my neighbors," the CEO added. "Once one experiences this sort of relationship with their government, it is impossible to return to the Kafkaesque NYC experience."

Luxury retail consultant Melanie Holland said many of her clients offer a similar list of grievances about New York City, such as, "Why do I want to pay New York state or New York City taxes when I walk out my door and there’s a homeless person, or my Walgreens is shut down because of theft?"

She added further that many of her clients "hate" what has happened to New York City, noting crime and the smell of marijuana.

Broadstreet Global CEO David Feingold noted that at least 20 people that work in his organization have petitioned to relocate to the Sunshine State. While he said that New York’s high taxes and weather are timeless drawbacks, the new element actually driving longtime residents away is the "cumulative effect" of crime and immigration.

Feingold claimed that, much to his surprise, none of the people he knows who have relocated from New York to Florida regret the decision. "That’s the amazing thing — I thought I would get complaints about the lack of art and culture that you can only find in New York."

CBC president Andrew Rein also spoke to The New York Post about the exodus, noting, "The key is with any place you need the benefits to outweigh the cost. The question right now for New York is what do we offer? We have to make sure the benefits of being in New York are worth the cost."
