    The doting dad shares Elliott, 21, and Harper, 18, with wife Ali Wentworth, and the family have faced a big change of late, as their firstborn is now living across the pond in London.

    George and Ali no doubt miss their daughter a lot, who had been studying at Brown University far closer to home in Rhode Island. She is currently in London as part of her college program.

    Their youngest daughter Harper flew the nest last year, making them empty nesters. Harper is studying in Nashville at Vanderbilt University, where George's GMA co-star Lara Spencer's daughter, Katherine, also attends. 

    Elliott had made an appearance on GMA just this week, as George had been working in London to report of the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis for ABC. 

    Elliott joined her dad at the end of his live broadcast to the GMA studios, with George proudly announcing to his co-anchors Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and Rebecca Jarvis: "Hey guys before you go, I have a special PA [production assistant] here in London today." 

    Elliott, who per her dad is currently studying in London, briefly popped into the screen and gave a wave before quickly jumping out of frame, prompting George to say: "Oh no she got shy very fast!" She then jumped back in for another brief "hi" to the delight of her dad's co-hosts, as he joked: "I decided to put her to work today," while smiling ear-to-ear, and Robin quipped: "It's great to see even a glimpse of her… enjoy your time there." 

    The family are incredibly close and Ali previously gave an insight into their home life. Chatting to Harry Connick Jr, she said: "I have two girls. George is the only guy in the house. For some reason, he gets beat up constantly. He is always wrong. He is an idiot. He is a loser, but in a loving way." 

    It's been a big struggle for the couple to adjust to becoming empty nesters, and Ali previously opened up about how sad she felt when her youngest left home. At the time, Ali took to Instagram to post a number of photos of herself and George walking away from Harper's dorm on the college campus, hand in hand. 

    "We dropped our baby off at college. Everyone is saying 'she's ready to launch'! But… I don't think I'm ready!" she penned. 

    "I don't want to stop making pasta with vodka sauce, picking up wet towels, cuddling up to her familiar scent. As Joni Mitchell once wrote – 'the bed's too big, the frying pan too wide'." 

    She continued: "I know our daughter will thrive. But man, it's brutal on the parents. If you feel inclined – please send me baked goods. I'll be under my covers."
