Ali got real in her latest Instagram post, while the Good Morning America host and hubby was nowhere to be seen.

The 59-year-old comedian looked uncharacteristically stoic as she sat alone by her fireplace.

Ali was without and makeup, nor was her hair fancily done up.

The mother-of-two had a dour look on her face, as she held a single slice of wheat toast covered in peanut butter.

Her emotional support dog, Cooper, sat at attention on the floor next to her, fixing his eyes on his owner – and her meal.

Ali dropped her guard, simply captioning the post, “Stressful eating.”

EMPTY FEELING

Ali continues to deal with her personal pain of life without her daughters.

Last year, she and George became empty-nesters when their youngest child, Harper, 18, headed off to college at Vanderbilt University.

Older sister Elliot, 21, is already out of the house, taking classes at Brown University.

Their parents have been having difficulty coping with the fact that both daughters are away from home.

To cope with the absence, George’s wife took to Instagram with a photo of the pair sitting side by side with somber expressions.

She captioned the photo: “Trying to put on a brave front. #emptynesters”

BILT TOUGH

Last August, George and Ali dropped their “baby” Harper off at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, for her first year of college.

The In Living Color star took to Instagram with a heartfelt photo of herself walking with George as she lamented their 18-year-old leaving home.

She captioned her post: “We dropped our baby off at college. Everyone is saying ‘she’s ready to launch’!

“But…I don’t think I’m ready! I don’t want to stop making pasta with vodka sauce, picking up wet towels, cuddling up to her familiar scent.”

The sad mama kept writing: “As Joni Mitchell once wrote- ‘the bed’s too big, the frying pan too wide.’ 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.”

George’s feelings somewhat paralleled his wife’s.

“It’s a major life change,” George told the official blog for GMA.

“It’s a huge adventure for Harper. She’s never lived in Nashville before, and the campus was amazing.”
